Don't move anything to that -bak directory again. It's there as a backup for your original configuration.
Let's first destroy anything pidgin: sudo apt-get remove --purge pidgin pidgin-data pidgin-facebookchat pidgin-musictracker pidgin-otr libpurple0 rm -R ~/.purple This should clean out any junk on your system. Next, install JUST pidgin and it's dependencies sudo apt-get install pidgin Then try running things again. If this doesn't work, then I think it's time to find an upstream developer that knows a little bit more about what's going on. I'm definitely getting to the end of my knowledge here... -- 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
