This is still a problem in 8.10. Setting a global proxy makes Pidgin unable to connect to *anything*. Unsetting http_proxy and launching pidgin fails, too --- is it getting the proxy information via gconf instead?
In order to get any use out of pidgin I have to use Network Proxy to disable the proxy, start pidgin, and then use Network Proxy to reenable the proxy again. This is not optimal. -- Should not use global proxy settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52801 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
