 This is interesting.  Is /home/ra/.purple/logs on a local disk, or
 network mounted?  What filesystem?  You really shouldn't see a
 jillion
 EAGAINs on filesystem write, and I'm quite surprised to see those
 sendtos.  If this is a network filesystem, I suspect the server (or
 the network) was out to lunch.

 No, all on a local disk.   The only thing special here is that the filesystem 
 is encrypted:

 [ra@hamburger ~]$ cd /home/ra/.purple/logs/sipe/r...@ok.is%2cok%5cra/.system
 [ra@hamburger .system]$ df -h .

 Does /var/log/messages or /var/log/dmesg say anything interesting
 from
 around the time that this happened?  Any disk errors or timeouts?

 No, nothing.And disk and/or filesystem errors would have thrown up red 
 flags for me and would have put my pidgin issue way down on the things to 
 worry about list :)


 Expect gdb backtraces the next time this happens :)

Ive not had any problems with pidgin since last week when I lost connection
and since then Ive seen only two status messages: incorrect username and
password or 503: Service Unavailable.

I went to college with a guy whose wife works for fb. I emailed her on Sunday
and she responded today that this is a issue causing problems for a
lot of users.
She did not go into detail so its probably something they are working on. She
did tell me that it probably wont be fixed for a while. I really dont
like the sound
of that.

Anyway.. hope that helps others relax a bit.

We all just wait :(

Insert Image?

2013-05-13 Thread Henry 
I've been using pidgin for years, and I've always wondered why there is
an Insert Image option in the Converstaion menu in the conversation
window, since, in all of the many years that I've been using pidgin,
that option has always, always, always been grayed out and unavailable
to use. Is this just a tease? A bad joke on the part of some twisted
demented developer? I haven't seen any plug-ins available to make it
work either. I've used pidgin on Linux and Windows machines, and it's
the same regardless of platform/OS version, etc. Please help me
understand this anomaly.

Thanking you in advance,

Perplexed pidgin user.
