Pidgin Trouble




By merryAnn on Sep 29, 2008

" "
Installed Ubuntu a few months ago, all was great and I'm very happy with it, but out of the blue, when I sign in pidgin gives me trouble.

How can I fix this? I really don't want to reinstall is there an update or something similar?


Clarification Request

What do you mean by "not working"? Does the program not open? Do you get an error when you try to connect to a chat service?

goto into a terminal and type
sudo apt-get remove pidgin
sudo apt-get --purge pidgin
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pidgin

That should completely remove pidgin and re-install it. G'luck!!
