 Hello. I have had this issue on both my Desktop and my Laptop both from
 the stock Pidgin from the Ubuntu install CD and from compiling version
 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 from source. My friend however, installed Ubuntu from THE
 SAME disk I used and did not have any issues at all. The problem occurs
 after Pidgin starts up. It pretty much runs normally except that it does
 not load my contact list and merely says I have "1/0 Contacts Online" Yes,
 one out of zero. If I run it from the console with the --debug flag I get
 a very verbose output that mostly is just my contact list. At the end
 however is this line (I don't know if it's significant, but it stands out
 in my mind)

 Debug output is attached.
