That would mean installing 8.10 on my machine, running it, then selecting system -> admin -> create a usb startup disk? The feature "create a usb startup disk" is not available on 8.04 as far as I know. If I could download the iso, copy it to my usb, then do it from there, then sure, I'd check that.
Because my sources.lst may be messed up in some way, I have to do apt- get update to find updates for my system. I did that, and the Pidgin situation changed a bit, although I noticed no Pidgin-related items in the updates (!). Now I'm getting an error message: "Unable to retrieve MSN address book". I found this thread on this issue: http://www.mail-archive.com/supp...@pidgin.im/msg01701.html The issue is supposedly related to msnp14 or 15, which isn't even on my list of plugins. Any ideas on a fix for Ubuntu users? -- Cannot connect to MSN after realease of new MSN client https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/316022 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
