Since a week ago, I cannot login to ICQ with my Pidgin (2.6.5-2). I use the
client on my Debian Unstable (Squeeze/Sid). I’ve tried looking for a solution
in Uncle Google , but unfortunately I couldn’t find any resolution to my problems.
I found a couple of posts online stating about the problem one of which was
testifying the same problem on Windows platform running pidgin
I decided playing with pidgin’s options and luckily I found the fix:
Accounts -> Manage Accounts -> Modify -> Advancedthere it's necessary to tick the "Use Client Login" menu
And Hooray my ICQ with Pidgin works again!
Praise the Lord!
