Author: sajolida Date: To: The Tails public development discussion list Subject: [Tails-dev] Difficulties connecting to OFTC
Some users reported difficulties to connect to OFTC using Pidgin on
Tails 0.21. I managed to reproduce that bug. If I start pidgin from the
command line with the debug option, I get something like this:
(17:05:33) account: Connecting to account kylohh@???.
(17:05:33) connection: Connecting. gc = 0x89da990
