Pidgin is always at Available - connecting and will never connect. My internet is working, but Pidgin won't connect at all.

[stacy_r_69]

Binary package hint: pidgin

Pidgin won't connect at all.

it says - Available - Connecting
It hasn't connected in over a week now.

Ubuntu
Release 8.04 (hardy)
Kernel Linux 2.6.24-24-generic
GNOME 2.22.3

I hope this will help

I have looked at the 'bug' page and I see some that may help - but there are no solutions to resolve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Sincerely,

Stacy

This happens to all accounts, which for me is MSN and XMPP. You can make the accounts connect by toggling each account in Manage Accounts.

Hi stacy_r_69, is this bug still an issue with the latest versions of Ubuntu and Pidgin?

joshua, during my experience with the latest ubuntu version, this problem seems to have gone away (dont really know what happened in the previous version).

my recomandation is to close this bug unless someone else dissagrees...
