Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu (MATE) 16.04
Each time I login into pidgin I get this exact warning: "Unable to add the buddy 1 for an unknown reason." I'm using ICQ only. This warning appears only once each time pidgin starts. Other than that warning Pidgin works fine and I have no issues. During the last years I've been using a radical method to get rid of that message: I'm removing the message entirely from libpurple/protocols/oscar/oscar.c (see attached patch). I thought that maybe you can add a little checkbox to the window to not make that message appear again? Or something else like an environment variable or a dotfile that I need touch(1) which silences it at my will. ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: icq ** Patch added: "pidgin-remove-icq-error-message.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647753/+attachment/4788142/+files/pidgin-remove-icq-error-message.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pidgin in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1647753 Title: "Unable to add the buddy 1 for an unknown reason" warning Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: OS: Ubuntu (MATE) 16.04 Each time I login into pidgin I get this exact warning: "Unable to add the buddy 1 for an unknown reason."
