Title:
Pidgin freezes when generating new OTR private key
Status in Off-the-Record Messaging plugin for pidgin:
New
Status in “pidgin” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “pidgin-otr” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Package: pidgin-otr (Intrepid) 3.2.0-1
Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
Systems used: AMD XP 3200+, 1 GB DDR, 160 GB HDD running Ubuntu 8.10
HP dv9500t laptop, 2.0 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB DDR, 160
GB HDD running of Ubuntu 8.10 LiveCD
When I enable the pidgin-otr plugin and attempt to generate a new
private key, Pidgin pops up a dialog box telling me that a new private
key is being generated. However, key generation never completes and
eventually I receive a notification that Pidgin or "Generating Private
Key" is not responding. I have attempted to generate keys for both a
XMPP (GMail Account) and an AIM account with the same result, and have
repeated the process on both systems multiple times.
I have successfully generated keys using the same version of OTR on
Windows XP SP3 on the HP dv9500t laptop.
