Thanks for the bug report. The default behaviour for Pidgin is to start without a buddy list, when it was closed before.
When you start pidgin, check if Pidgin the tray icon appears (upper right corner of the screen), then LEFT-click on it to open the buddy list. Please comment here if that solves your problem. -- Default install of Pidgin does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226737 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
