Turn off pidgin and then kill to verify killall pidgin Move your pidgin configuration to a different location mv ~/.purple ~/.purple-bak Make sure the change happened ls -l ~/.purple-bak Start pidgin and recreate your accounts. Start with only creating the accounts. Play with it a little while. If everything works fine, then continue to add any customization you've done. Do this slowly so you can pinpoint what change kills pidgin. Also, running pidgin from a terminal at this point is a good idea. Make sure to report the errors you see, plus an additional 10 lines up and all the way to the end. For instance, what you reported is helpful, but seeing what happened before the connection timeout would be helpful as well. -- pidgin crashed with g_log: purple_ssl_read: assertion `gsc != NULL' failed xmlnode: Error parsing xml file: Document is empty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/354272 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
