I dug out the relevant test install and pidgin seems to work properly on it now, so I can't reproduce this I'm afraid.
I suspect that the situation was that there was a copy of pidgin running already but just without any windows open, in a state where asking for a new copy of pidgin doesn't have any effect. Is that possible ? I'll see if I can reproduce it coherently during my ISO testing and if so I'll file a proper bug. ** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- cannot restart pidgin https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145231 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
