Fix Bug : Pidgin Login On Ubuntu Jaunty

After Yahoo Update his port, many instant messenging like pidgin and kopete cant login with yahoo account.

If you use Ubuntu Jaunty you can try this way to fix this problem :

Ubuntu ships Pidgin but does not update it after a release (except for security issues). For those users who desire new releases of Pidgin, we have packaged Pidgin in a PPA. If you encounter problems with these packages, try building from source and report the bug.

To setup the PPA, copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:

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

. /etc/lsb-release

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ $DISTRIB_CODENAME main | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list

Once this PPA is setup, Pidgin updates will show up in Update Manager along with the usual Ubuntu updates. The PPA will need to be re-setup only after upgrading Ubuntu.

Taken from pidgin site.

and after that you have to change your setting on managed account and double click at your username and choose advance. at pager server :scs.msg.yahoo.com change with this : cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com
