crash pidgin when try to open video(segmentation fault). using pidgin 2.6.4

Is it a crash for every video or for a specific video?

every video i'm using ubuntu 9.10, pidgin 2.6.4

Is a problem with adobe flash plugin

same here!

1. Where did you find Pidgin 2.6.4? The last release is 2.6.3 and I can't reproduce what you're saying.
2. How do you know it's because of the flash plugin?
3. Could you launch Pidgin as below in a terminal and attach here the file log.txt? {{{ pidgin -d 2>log.txt 1>&2 }}}

the same problem to me :(

in the console show me this:

The program 'Pidgin' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'. (Details: serial 13170 error_code 8 request_code 142 minor_code 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Fallo de segmentación

any ideas??

sorry for my english

Pidgin 2.6.4devel (libpurple 2.6.4devel) I installed ubuntu 9.10 without installing flash plugin, i open pidgin, start conversation, insert a link with video, and don't crash pidgin but i can't see video. After i install adobe flash plugin i did the same thing and pidgin crash. From terminal:

Segmentation fault

We have found you have pidgin and pidgin-embeddedvideo from here: https://launchpad.net/~frasten/+archive/ppa. We have tested them and it is a crash, like you both said. But we've also tested pidgin 2.6.4 compiled from official sources and it works perfectly. We think the problem is with the pidgin package from that PPA. We recommend you to install official packages (2.6.3 is the latest release for pidgin) or get official sources and compile them and it will work.

Because the problem is not because of us, I marked this issue as invalid.

To everyone using my repository and affected by this issue: I've fixed this in the last pidgin snapshot (pidgin-2.6.5~mtn20091130+22d8ed22), please download it and check if everything is now ok.

That was indeed a problem that we could solve. It is fixed now. Thank you for your support, frasten!
