pidgin package

Can't access my ICQ account

Asked by Phoenix

I have an ICQ account, and I've got it through Rambler, so it is connected with its mail account. I've already tried to connect using my Rambler login and password - Pidgin said the passw is incorrect. I tried to connect using my UIN and passw, but Pidgin told that Connection was reset by peer. How should I connect at last? Please, give me some fresh ideas

You might wanna take a look here.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591

To get the latest version of pidgin, do this in a terminal.

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com \ 67265eb522bdd6b1c69e66ed7fb8bee0a1f196a8

Then this.

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

Now start your update manager and you´ll be getting the latest version of Pidgin. If there is a new version, you will be notified about it.
