Just in case anyone else finds their way here before finding a solution. There is useful information in the plugin's bug tracker:
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/issues/detail?id=246 In particular, I found that the recommendation to disable the option called "Show Facebook notifications as emails in Pidgin" helped, but did not solve the problem completely. On the other hand, using the XMPP protocol (for instructions visit http://www.facebook.com/sitetour/chat.php ), as recommended in http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/issues/detail?id=246#c140 , works reliably, albeit with less features. ** Bug watch added: cgc/p/pidgin-facebookchat/issues #246 http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/issues/detail?id=246 -- facebook plugin disconnects constantly if not logged in in browser interface in parallel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/461209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
