I confirm. Latest Kubuntu, KDE 4.7.3, Pidgin 2.10.0. Always happens when connecting to mobile broadband or wifi. It seems that pidgin inly polls network manager once (after the boot) and then just stays in that waiting state forever.
User must go to the manage accounts and disable and then re-enable them all. annoyance. ** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149483 Title: Pidgin unable to connect "Waiting for network connection" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/149483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
