      Pidgin

      Pidgin isn't working.
      I'm stuck in a perpetual state of "Connecting".
      I've tried rebooting Ubuntu, exiting Pidgin and opening again, uninstalling and reinstalling, nothing seems to fix it. I have a screenshot.
      Halp pl0x.

      This shit never happens to me

      what service are you trying to connect to?
      MSN, AIM, Yahoo, Google, etc., etc.?

      could be a several reasons why it's not working
      first and foremost, are you sure about your login credentials?

      I'm trying to connect to Yahoo.
      I've double checked my credentials a couple times, they are correct.

      Thanks Ynot.
      So i suppose it'll be a day or two before my Pidgin functions properly again?

      This PPA is maintained by one developer, so please be patient. It often lags behind the source releases a couple of days.

      Nope, not yet.
      I've checked the update manager twice.

      Just a note
      Canonical are issuing a Stable Release Update for Pidgin in the next few days
      See this bug report

      This means the fix in Pidgin 2.5.7 will be backported to supported prior versions of Pidgin (Hardy = 2.4.1, Intrepid = 2.5.2, Jaunty = 2.5.5)

      you may want to hold off upgrading to Pidgin 2.5.7 yourself, unless your comfortable breaking away from the main repos and managing software on your own

      He's pretty new. I'd say wait until they give it to you.

      What Ubuntu version are you using anyway? 8.10?

      Hey guys, I'm back. Feels good man
