Package: pidgin
Version: 2.7.3-1+squeeze1
Severity: normal
I'm having this problem as well. Let me give you some details.
To reproduce:
1. Install Debian Squeeze Beta 1. Configure the system with a static IP address
(that part is important).
2. Boot into new system, apply all updates and fixes (apt-get update, upgrade,
etc).
3. Install Pidgin through package management.
4. Open Pidgin, configure a Gmail (or Googletalk) account. I'm able to send
and receive messages
successfully now (verified it works).
5. Close Pidgin.
6. Open Pidgin. I'm just "Available - Waiting for network connection". Now if
I delete and
fill out the Googletalk account again I _will_ be able to connect.
Some things you might like to know:
nlan...@cecil% ps aux | grep -i network
root 1696 0.0 0.0 70500 4416 ? Ss 21:56 0:00
/usr/sbin/NetworkManager
nlandys 2636 0.0 0.0 7548 876 pts/4 S+ 22:11 0:00 grep -i network
So NetworkManager _is_ running.
nlan...@cecil% cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.9
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.254
# dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed

Yes, it's a static IP address.
nlan...@cecil% cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=false
Yes, I don't want NetworkManager to control my statically assigned IP interface.
Note: I _did_not_ alter my /etc/network/interfaces _or_ my NetworkManager.conf
after
installing Debian Squeeze Beta 1.
One more thing just to state the obvious. My NetoworkManager applet (in Gnome)
says:
Wired Network
device not managed
Now I also reported a similar problem with Empathy earlier but the bug was
closed out by
Jonny Lamb. This was bug 602990. Please realize that many people will be
configuring their
Debian boxes with static IP addresses, and those people will have these
problems. I don't
consider these problems fixed.
