I hope I'm not stepping beyond my rights in changing the status and taking the bug...
I'm respecting the original "Confirmed" status while marking it "Fix Released" rather than "Invalid" the way Pidgin and others have marked similar bugs. (This bug should have been flagged "Invalid" because it was a bug with the 'skype4pidgin' package/plugin rather than for Pidgin itself, and there is no such package within the Debian or Ubuntu repositories. A better status would be a bugzilla-styled "Worksforme") Of course, that makes it odd for this bug to have a resolution of "Fix Released" since the "release" part of that has nothing to do with Ubuntu, but presumably anybody who had this bug found the plugin before and can find it again (hint: look at the comments above). I use Skype via pidgin every day, and I haven't had skype4pidgin cause this XCB crash since before my last comment. There have been no other posts noting that this is still a problem, and the skype4pidgin site has confirmed the fix (including on Ubuntu itself) and closed the corresponding bug. Time to close this one, too. ** Changed in: pidgin (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Adam Katz (khopesh) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- pidgin crashes with _XGetXCBBuffer: Assertion `((int) ((xcb_req) - (dpy->request)) >= 0)' failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245017 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
