Pidgin unable to connect "Waiting for network connection"

Still an issue.

Yes, it's still beta version bug! By the way, neither Pidgin nor Deluge nor Nautilus (when using FTP) nor "Weather report" bar applet can't connect to their servers! I think that it's global problem in Gutsy and I reported about it, but developers ignored it and didn't fix in release. I disappointed in Ubuntu and in its developers.

Well the temp fix I put up will work for now ;)

Do you still experience this problem?

I think it works fine, now. I've reformatted and pidgin works fine.
Thanks!!!

Still a problem. I'm running 12.04, and pidgin says "Waiting for network connection" - I am connected via Wi-Fi and writing this post on-line, so something's wrong. If I switch to 11.04 with the same /home, pidgin connects with no problems. It does not, however, on 12.04. If there is any more info you would like me to provide, please do let me know.

uname -a
Linux dojo 3.2.0-5-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 15 19:06:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I confirm. Latest Kubuntu, KDE 4.7.3, Pidgin 2.10.0.

Always happens when connecting to mobile broadband or wifi. It seems that pidgin inly polls network manager once (after the boot) and then just stays in that waiting state forever.

User must go to the manage accounts and disable and then re-enable them all. annoyance.

Confirm this bug on Ubuntu 11.10. I also have the problem when connected to wired network sometimes.
