To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal: sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8 echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list Once this PPA is setup, Pidgin updates will show up in Update Manager along with the usual Ubuntu updates. The PPA will need to be re-setup only after upgrading Ubuntu. When I launched the update manager, it did show availabie updates for pidgin and libpurple. After updating, and rebooting the system, "About" now indicates: Pidgin 2.5.7 (libpurple 2.5.7) Now I get {userna...@yahoo.ca} disabled Unknown error number 1013. Logging into the Yahoo! website may fix this. I can login to my account using Firefox (ver.3.0.11), but no success with Pidgin. -- Yahoo server authentication changed: Pidgin =<2.5.6 will not connect to Yahoo! servers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389322 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
