Solve Yahoo Messenger Problem With Pidgin 2.5.7
Wednesday June 24, 2009 by Ivan Kristianto
A couple days ago i have a problem connecting to Yahoo Messanger using Pidgin 2.5.5. I thougt that there were something wrong with my network. But i tried using original Yahoo Messanger, it works. So i know that my networks is fine, but not my Pidgin. Then i try to google it, and i found that Yahoo upgrade their server to new version. That’s why my pidgin 2.5.5 couldn’t connect.
Then i browse to pidgin official website, then wow… They have a new version that is Pidgin v2.5.7 that fixed for Yahoo problem. You can upgrade your Pidgin by using this command (this is for Ubuntu):
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 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
For other operating system you can get it here.
That’s it. Have a nice day…

LikeI tried this to upgrade from 2.5.7 to 2.5.8 because it's not in the repositories yet and it failed. I think it is because I am using AMD64, not i386. I am running Linux Mint 7 x64 edition, which is based on Ubuntu Intrepid, but it's the 64 bit version. I don't know if the PPA for Pidgin has a version for me. Any ideas?
I downloaded the Pidgin source code, just in case, but I would rather not compile it myself because I just want to upgrade and I think I would screw it up.

LikeMy Update Manager upgrade my Pidgin to v2.5.8 today. I think they are late to upgrade the repositories.
So, try to upgrade again.

LikeThe yahoo issue with Ubuntu 9.04 is driving me crazy. I upgraded to pidgen 2.5.7 which is what it says will fix the problem but it didn't. I still can't connect my yahoo accounts. I tried a debug and plugins and noticed the following :
03:56:12) plugins: /usr/lib/purple-2/libjabber.so is not usable because the 'purple_init_plugin' symbol could not be found. Does the plugin call the PURPLE_INIT_PLUGIN() macro
What do I do now ? Any help provided would be appreciated.

LikeThe second command fails
echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubu... lsb_release --short --codename` main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list
I'm assuming because you have a ` after codename. I'm not sure if this is a typo, but I tried removing it, and the echo worked, but then apt-get update didn't like the sources.
