Subject: pidgin: Freezes if gadugadu has to connect on startup
Date: Tue, 08 May 2007 10:53:46 +0200

Package: pidgin
Version: 2.0.0+dfsg.1-1
Severity: normal

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Pidgin (as well as at least gaim 2.0.0beta5) becomes completely unresponsive on startup if it's asked to connect to the GaduGadu network.

The workaround I found consists in killing the client, hand-editing the configuration to remove auto-login for the GG account, launching the client and finally enabling the GG account by hand.

I've had no freezes enabling GG by hand, but it freezes every single time if it's on on start up.

Please install the pidgin-dbg package and run pidgin under gdb. Then
when pidgin freezes, press Ctrl-C in the gdb session, then type "bt
full" there and paste the output here.

This looks like it's in gevolution. Could you try disabling that plugin
and restarting?

You were right, disabling that extension solves the issue, re-enabling
it, brings it back.
