A bit of info from my testing: Updating to 2.10.7 does not resolve the issue (current version in raring repo, as of today's date).
Killing indicator-messages-service as suggested above also does not resolve the issue for me. 'nohup'ping and tossing in the background as suggested above does not help. Removing ~/.purple and re-configuring the account does seem to allow pidgin to work (tried twice) for that launch. Exiting and relaunching then exhibits the hang. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1109251 Title: pidgin hangs on startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/1109251/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
