This works fine for me. What did you enter in the following fields:

Username: (was it your Facebook *username* or your email)
Domain: (should be chat.facebook.com)

?

Obviously there's no need to tell me your personal details, I'm just interested in the format used.

I am able to confirm that this problem exists. My pidgin worked fine until 25 May 2011, since then I get this error. I have updated to 2.7.11 from 2.7.6 with no improvement. I am unable to sign into yahoo with my id's using pidgin.

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and installed pidgin 2.7.11 from synaptic.
Yahoo accounts are not working.
