Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Same here,after the kernel upgrade pidgin works fine
Thanks

[jcmb (pokstad)]

I am also having difficulties with pidgin: seems to be randomly crashing, no pattern to it. Here's what I'm running:

Linux excaliber 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Only symptom is that the program becomes unresponsive and goes gray before crashing.

closing since that works correctly now
