Unfortunately, none of the suggestions are working so far.

Sidenote: Where is the best place to find skins and such for cairo dock?

Hello eldonkr.

As you have read there is not real support on the yahoo option fully.
so the best option that I have post for you are from there site on the net.
I will see what more can be done on this issue with some work around.

and make some reading here what to do to add repo to your system:

BTW- you can look on the forums to get Team options for it - just use the search.

BTW- it looks like that Yahoo changing the protocols for the new Release!!
Try to use:

Thanks for all the help so far. I've tried cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com or whatever it is, that one didn't work for me.

If there's anyone out there who has yahoo working on pidgin could they post a screen shot of what they've got for the pager server?

Here is suggestion for you to try - to get from this mess with pidgin.
you can try to connect to Yahoo from Empathy IM.
This should work for you.

The last time I tried Empathy it didn't work for me either, but it's always worth a try again. I'll let you know how it goes the next time I'm on my laptop.

I just tried to install empathy and in the process it informs me that there was an error that occured. I run the package manager and look for the broken package and after trying to mark it for reinstallation I get this

Code: Select all
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.15-2ubuntu1~pidgin4.9.04_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstliveadder.so', which is also in package gstreamer0.10-plugins-farsight


What do?

Are you using the Pidgen that comes pre loaded? (2.62) There is a newer version out 2.6.6. I don't know if this would help or not. I tried my yahoo on pidgen and there was no problem with it. I did find this http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-F ... 4754.shtml I hope this one helps
