I can't seem to reproduce this.Can anyone confirm that Pidgin in either Hardy, Intrepid or Jaunty still freezes for them when typing or when playing a sound effect?
To confirm that this is still an issue, update your system using System > Administration > Update Manager Once that is done, run pidgin from a terminal, if you get an error like this in the terminal before the crash, please confirm you are still experiencing this bug: (pidgin:####): GStreamer-CRITICAL If you are one of the people who said removing evolution fixed your bug, I think you are not suffering from this bug. Instead you should subscribe to the following bug which explains the issue between evolution and pidgin: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/157207 -- pidgin freezes while typing a message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/162701 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
