Pidgin had been working fine for me, but suddenly stopped working in the last couple of days. I could log on to a jabber server without problem, but logging on to IRC (Freenode) would cause the window to hang as soon as I logged in.
After running pidgin on the command line, I found the same gstreamer error: tr...@mash:~$ pidgin -d | tee pidgin-debug.log Got me: (12:34:17) gstreamer: Failed to connect stream: Invalid argument Disabling sounds (Preferences -> Sounds -> Mute Sounds) fixed the problem for me. Here's what I'm running: Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 (no restricted drivers; fully up to date) Pidgin 2.5.2 (1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1.1) Dell XPS m1530 laptop I'd be happy to upgrade to Jaunty and do some testing to help squash this bug. -- pidgin freezes while typing a message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162701 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
