Message-ID: <524811.29114.qm@web130203.mail.mud.yahoo.com> OTR worked fine in Pidgin 2.7.11 in Win32 XP SP3, until immediately after I set up Trillian Astra on the same computer with OTR plugin.? In Trillian, OTR automatically tries to connect on opening, and I had the same ICQ buddy in it as in Pidgin.? It tried to connect, and I closed Trillian after realizing it was trying to create a fingerprint with the ICQ buddy for Trillian while he was offline.? I removed the plugin from Trillian, closed it.? Next time I tried to use Pidgin with OTR, the message:? Attempting to start a private conversation with 276xxxxxx...? is all I got, and my buddy gets an error message.? ??? Thus far I have removed/reg keys/files/start menu/account info/.purple folder;? re-installed Pidgin 2.7.11 and OTR (fresh copy)/generated new key.? And still get:? Attempting to start a private conversation with 276xxxxxx... ??? The above was done only after deleting the fingerprint for the ICQ account didn't solve the problem, nor did deleting and generating a new private key. ??? I have also searched for system drivers (found none) and remnants of GTK+.? What is the solution for this? ??? I know only one person with whom to try OTR (and it doesn't work with him), but I'm willing to give this a try with someone who may be willing to test it with me.? My buddy is using Gentoo and Pidgin 2.7.11.? ??? I have tried all I can think of.? Any suggestions very appreciated. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -? theanswer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
