[Bug 260843] Re: Error Reading blist.xml with utf-8 characters in group-descriptions
I can confirm this error. Running Ubuntu 10.04 (64 Bit) with Linux 2.6.32-25-generic #44-Ubuntu, Gnome 2.30.2 and Pidgin 2.7.3 here. The error »error reading blist.xml« happened to me the first time and when executing »xmllint blist.xml~«, in my ~/.purple directory, I get the following information: *** snip *** blist.xml~:32: parser error : xmlParseCharRef: invalid xmlChar value 29 Welkom op d ... etc. etc. *** snip *** If I manually remove the »« from the corresponding line in the blist.xml file, Pidgin starts normally. Please, who can fix this? If You don't feel responsible, where should this bug be reported instead and against what package? Thank You. Dennis PS: I also added this comment to the last open Bug Ticket #767 in the Pidgin Bugtracker (where - additionally - another dupe of this ticket exists but that was already closed and marked as »fixed« – though the problem PERSISTS). -- Error Reading blist.xml with utf-8 characters in group-descriptions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 260843] Re: Error Reading blist.xml with utf-8 characters in group-descriptions
I found a workaround for this bug. After reading the above comments about utf-8 characters, I looked at the groups I had while shoeing all offline buddies and found a couple groups that had special or weird characters in them. I moved all my buddies out of them and then deleted the groups. The problem appears to have gone away. -- Error Reading blist.xml with utf-8 characters in group-descriptions https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260843 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
