Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu 9.04 x64, x32 and LinuxMint 7 x32. All systems are up to
date and fresh install (OS installed directly, no upgrade).
Signing in an MSN account. Can only see online buddies if the buddies
use Windows. If the buddy use Pidgin from Ubuntu then it is always
offline. Even if I go on the MSN Live web site to add the buddy, then
close browser and start Pidgin, the buddy is still shown as offline. The
same buddy, instead of using Pidgin from within Ubuntu, now use a
Windows program, Miranda IM 0.80 for example, then becomes online. The
MSN Options (server & port) are identical between Miranda IM / Windows
and Pidgin / Ubuntu.
This problem didn't exist when I started using Ubuntu almost a year ago.
I am not sure when this offline issue started but it dated at least
since April 2009.
Thanks for taking care of this issue.
