How come that there is no DEB files or repo for Ubuntu when you have Fedora and CentOS?

Latest won't load .5.4 was ok. Visual C++ Runtime Lib: This application has request the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. No other info.

Today after Removing my .purple in my home partition, and reinstalling Pidgin from Repositories... Works Cools! Pidgin Rules! =)

Awesome guys- in the future please send bugs to www.pidgin.im/support - you'll get a much faster response there.

Hund,

Ubuntu releases it's own Pidgin packages. Our Fedora and CentOS are for legacy releases of each distro.

Somehow it crashes .... 2.5.4 was ok. The package was downloaded from getdeb.net. I hope a fixed version will come out soon. :-/

Compiled fine on Ubutu Intrepid 64bit, but ICQ is still complaining that the client is too old

When I install 2.5.5 on Vista, I have a problem at launch, with an unexpected quit. I had to go back to 2.5.4.

Markus Korbel said...

Ok retried to enable the ICQ module today, its connecting fine now (maybe a problem with the ICQ network then???)

Casey Ho said...

Good to hear ICQ is working again.
