Look similar to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1545963&group_id=235&atid=100235 upstream

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

GFD, thank you for your bug interest. No need to attach a crash file when the bug already has one and doesn't request for an another one though

[Brian J. Murrell (brian-interlinx)]

Just hit this myself. Can we get a backport since upstream claims this is fixed already?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Could anybody try to get the upstream change fixing that and apply it to edgy package to confirm that it fixes the problem? Then we can consider an update using it for edgy

[exactt (giesbert)]

i just had a crash as well and was directed here. i will attach the crash report.

[pr0k05 (sir-bernat)]

Just like the pal above me, but I think it is discouraging having to register to post a crash, after all.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no need to attach new crash file when the bug already has one, is confirmed and doesn't request it

[mrs269 (mrs269)]

this isn't just happening using MSN, it just started doing this with aol as well.

[Marco Rodrigues (gothicx)]

Sebastien: So this isn't fixed yet?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

would be a question to upstream

[Nicolas Vandeput (nvdp-deactivatedaccount)]

Crashes everytime a contacts talks to me.

It seems it is related to shared folders. He told me that everytime he talked to me, Windows Live Messenger asked him to create a shared folder, and on my side, Gaim crashes...

[Le Monolecte (monolecte)]

I think the other man (wich I was talking on MSN/gaim) was trying to send me a special animation stuuf from specific MSN programm.
You can fin attachement about crash!
Good luck, folk's (sorry for my approximative english, I'm better in French!)

Configuration : Gaim on Ubuntu edgy eft.

[Jason (jmmorales79)]

was upgrading from edgy to feisty then it crashed.

[Caic (claudio-romanelli)]

I received a new message, a pop up window appeared, I typed the answer, and a few seconds after GAIM crashed.
Please, see full report enclosed.

[Patricio Danos (aresiusxp)]

Gaim crashed several times at random times. Not doing anything special.

[DeStRoY (guillaume-j)]

gaim crashed when contact send me special smiles.

Sorry I lost the bug report !!

[Caic (claudio-romanelli)]

Sending new crash report
Hope it helps...

[Anders Häggström (hagge)]

Gaim crached when doing nothing.
One IRC-channel opened, one ICQ-chat opened and one msn-chat opened.

[orodoni_le (felix-a-salazar)]

Close abruptly while typing. Not sending any file or image, just typing. Connected to MSN

[Caic (claudio-romanelli)]

GAIM Crashed whilst the whole system was idle and I was not in front of the computer.
I'm wondering what happened...

[Rudy (thundermaniak)]

GAIM crashed while reading my friend's message.

Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10

[pokemaro (quimicopaz)]

Close abruptly while typing. Not sending any file or image, just typing. Connected to MSN

[Mike Lea-Wilson (mikelw)]

Gaim seems to crash every time my friend sends me an emoticon which is an animated GIF (I think). It's OK with ordinary static emoticons. It has crashed about 5 times this morning.

[Mike Lea-Wilson (mikelw)]

A correction to my previous post: It doesn't seem to be the animation that causes the problem. The standard emoticons with animation are (of course) OK (e.g. crying, winking), but some non-standard ones with no animation are also causing it to crash. It MAY be to do with the size of the image, which for a lot of these non-standard ones is larger than the standard ones. When I'm back on Windoze, I'll see if I can collect up a few of the problem ones, and post them here.

[bab2501 (bab2501)]

It close abruptly
Sorry no more information

[Random (lirael-blue)]

I haven't had a problem with animated smilies, or the custom made ones, or even sending files. I was just typing to a friend, it froze for a moment, then closed down.

Crash report

GAIM crashes quite frequently for me

[Clemente López Giner (clemenlg)]

Gaim crash.
I haven't do anything.

[polopolo (linux-debaat)]

Is this also in ubuntu 7.04?

[Gwennaëlle (gwenn-aelle)]

the path for the file was: /var/crash/_usr_bin_gaim.1000.crash but I have not been able to find it. I looked where it should be, I looked anywhere but no. It was nowhere. Sorry. This the only piece of info I can give you.

[Rudy (thundermaniak)]

I put "Absent" in my Gaim's status and when I came back the program had crashed.
The bug report says me that the bug is already reported at this address.

Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft

[pokemaro (quimicopaz)]

i use ubuntu 6.1 and xfce

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

Can anyone reproduce this with Ubuntu 7.04, 7.10 or 8.04 ?

[Hew (hew)]

Cannot reproduce this bug on Hardy with Pidgin 1:2.4.0-1ubuntu2. Successfully sent a jpg file via msn to Gutsy user with Pidgin 1:2.2.1-1ubuntu4.1.

[Jérôme Guelfucci (jerome-guelfucci-deactivatedaccount)]

Thank you, it would be great if someone could confirm this.

[AGtheKiLLER (agthekiller)]

STOP SENDING THESE MAILS PLEASE !!!

On the left of the page, there is an unsuscribe link.

[Nicolas Valcarcel (nvalcarcel)]

I have experience this bug also trying to receive a pdf file and my system hangs

[Hew (hew)]

This bug has been incomplete for over a month now with no more reports of this issue. It was most likely fixed in Feisty. This can also be seen from the 50 reports in 6 months, and none in the year since. Marking as fixed.
