Public bug reported: Binary package hint: pidgin
MSN chat in Pidgin 2.6.1 (karmic) is completely borked. Pidgin apparently has an extreme timeout bug with the MSN switchboard server that closes the chat connection after a very short period of time, leading to random 'cannot send message' errors in a MSN chat. It's been reported upstream at http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10150 and http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/9986 This is a huge regression in 2.6.1 from 2.5.8, so I vote that we remove 2.6.1 from karmic, and replace it with 2.5.8. Either that, or remove Pidgin from karmic completely, as there's no point in having a buggy chat client that has these serious regressions. ** Affects: pidgin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid -- Pidgin MSN chat/switchboard timeout error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421711 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
