Public bug reported:
Since I start pidgin on startup and don't use it that often during the
week I only noticed this recently.
Pidgin is no longer connecting to the servers unless I put "-f" after
it. It was working fine before with the same configuration, so the
problem must have been recent updates.
All the references I can find online for this problem are related to
network-manager, which I don't believe is running:
$ ps aux | grep nm
bbogart 2170 0.0 0.0 8700 896 pts/1 S+ 09:19 0:00 grep
--color=auto nm
I'll add the -f flag to start up pidgin from now on, but this seems like
a degraded update to me.
