Workaround. I was able to fix this. I removed the yahoo account, then added the account again. That did the trick.
I tried to see if there was a difference in the accounts.xml. But even if i restore the original 'yahoo' account from the older accounts.xml (yes i made a backup before removing the account), and start pidgin... it just works. Yesterday my /home filesystem was temporarily full because of my bittorrent downloads. Could it be that pidgin wrote some information half? The accounts.xml looked normal... but perhaps another file. I would have expected it to crash yesterday in that case. -- pidgin SIGSEGV in g_utf8_normalize() when connecting yahoo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/390737 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
