I ran into a similar issue after attempting to set up a new Microsoft LCS/OCS account. I don't know the exact configuration settings I put for the account to cause it, but who cares.
Pidgin would immediately crash with the segment fault on launch. Since I knew I was messing with that account I edited the ~/.purple/accounts.xml file and changed the auto login setting for that account to 0. This allowed me to start pidgin without an issue and then reconfigure the account correctly. Others may want to try the same thing, perhaps disable the auto-login for all accounts if you don't know which might be causing it. Change the auto-login to 0 instead of 1: <setting name='auto-login' type='bool'>0</setting> -- Pidgin crashes when launched as user on Gusty Gibbons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/244418 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
