I have had the same problem with Pidgin locking up in Ubuntu. Found work around without trying.
Toshiba A135 S4656 sound driver = snd-hda-intel I didn't notice that I had done anything to fix it. My sound card wasn't working at all. I had to compile the alsa driver manually and install it. The sound card worked fine and I didn't notice this at the time, but that's also when Pidgin stopped locking up. I also noticed yesterday when I had some problems with my soundcard driver failing for some reason that a few minutes later, my Pidgin instance locked up. I thought, "Well it's time for a reboot." Of course, the sound card came up and Pidgin didn't lock again all day. -- Hangs when no sound device is available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290914 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
