Well, I've found the problem. I have two connections - one is ethernet cable, the other one is wireless. The first connection is not managed by Network Manager. The second one is managed, but it's usually disabled.
The newer version of pidgin (or maybe it's NM fault?) seems to try to connect through the second connection, which is disabled and ignores the first one. Once I enable the second wireless connection, pidgin discovers the first one and does connect through it. -- pidgin fails to connect after a recent update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281406 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
