Hello,
I am very new to ubuntu and the linux platform and I'm having a few problems
with my pidgin. When I first installed pidgin it was version 2.7.3 from the
repository. It worked extremely well except that the file transfer through msn
was extremely slow ranging about 2-3 kb/s. After a few days of looking online I
read that this was mainly because direct connections were not supported. But
then I came across a pidgin developer post which said that the msn file
transfer bug had been fixed in version 2.7.3 and later. In hope of fixing my
file transfer I went to the pidgin website and installed the new version 2.7.9.
The install was very smooth, I did exactly what was written on the page.
Installed the package with Gdebi installer and then ran system update. Pidgin
upgraded fine but now I can no longer recieve or send files. I dont even get
the prompt to accept file and neither does the person im trying to send a file
to. Also sound clips which worked before had stopped working. I thought maybe
going back to the old version would fix it, so I uninstalled it with synaptic
and reinstalled the old version through the repository. But the problem
remains. Also after uninstalling pidgin seemed to know my login details on the
new install even though I had uninstalled all pidgin packages through synaptic
choosing the complete removal tool. If anyone can help me fix the file transfer
sound clip problem Id be very grateful. Thank you
Sohrab
