If you are using Pidgin and have a Yahoo account, you will find that it is always 'connecting' but does NOT complete the login. :(

:!: Ubuntu 3.0 does not update Pidgin, so the workaround is HERE :arrow:
http://www.pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/

Quote:
copy-and-paste these commands into a terminal:

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

echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu \ `lsb_release --short --codename` main | \
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list


with cordial greetings from Montreal, Canada.
