I have experience a similar problem, intermittently. Running pidgin via strace, it stalls trying to open an orbit socket.
If one removes the linc- file out of /tmp/<user> that it was trying to open, it works again. I have a stock, frequently updated Hardy install. -- Pidgin freezes on launch with no status icon or window https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293352 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
