pidgin 2.6.2 problem
Hello! When I upgraded Pidgin from 2.6.0 to 2.6.1 my Pidgin at start show to me error message: Unable to Add Unable to add the buddy (null) because the username is invalid. Usernames must be a valid email address, or start with a letter and contain only letters, numbers and spaces, or contain only numbers. 18-20 times. When I use 2.6.0 I haven't such problem.

I don't know when/why that would happen, but I'm hoping this will ring a bell with someone else. -Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Is this with ICQ, by any chance?

Re: Pidgin is aborted

I got this message on debug: GLib: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.20.1/glib/gmem.c:136: failed to allocate 1526792193 bytes. I have tried reinstalled the Pidgin many times, but the error persists. Is there a way to fix that problem ? Hi Leonardo. That's a bit odd. So it crashes immediately after starting it? You can try starting it by running pidgin -n from a command line, this will prevent your accounts from connecting immediately. Then you can connect each account one at a time and see if one of them is causing a problem. You can also try starting with pidgin -d and looking at the output before Pidgin crashes. You may also want to try disabling any 3rd party plugins or accounts. If it's still crashing feel free to file a new ticket at http://developer.pidgin.im/newticket And please include a backtrace from the crash. There is information on obtaining a backtrace here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace Thanks, Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

On your web site you provided some instructions on running apt-key and generating pidgin-ppa.list in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.lst. I followed those instructions and generated the following file: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu None main When I run the update manager I get: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu/dists/None/main/binary-lpia/Packages.gz 404 Not Found Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. My guess is that my file is invalid. On another thread I saw a user who did a manual change from 'None' to 'hardy'. That also did not work. Can you help me? Thanks in advance, Howard Cunningham Yes, I think None is not a valid distribution. Do you know what version of Ubuntu you're using? I think our PPA only supports 8.04.2 LTS (Hardy Heron), 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope). Try replace None in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.lst with one of hardy, intrepid or jaunty. -Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

says incorrect password BUT
What appears to be wrong is no Hostname in the certificate manager. I had to do this once before when the cert expired, but I don't know what needs to be in the Hostname or where to get the cert #. This may have happened when I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 and changed hard drives. I also have Open DNS, but Pidgin was working on my old setup with Open DNS. I did not have to install from dependencies, as it was already installed, but maybe needs to be configured. If so , how do I? JR ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

This might be an issue with the evolution integration plugin, fixed in 2.6.2 (I think it is). http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10115 has details (about its impact on a Yahoo account). If updating to 2.6.2 doesn't fix it, please install the debug symbols and then get a backtrace, doing something along the lines of the instructions at http://pidgin.im/gdb.php, but before running Pidgin, do break purple_account_add_buddy if buddy == 0.
