So when Bodhi says that it’s minor. I would agree(FWIW). Still it’ll keep happy code monkies with unicorn scan off of your uber-secret Lolz and other meaningless chats. See his info on AppArmor otherwise.

[...] Posted by shadowkain99 on March 19, 2009 Many times the question is asked on Linux forums? What is the best IRC client? While, there is no TRUE answer to this question, you often will see the popular clients such as good old IRSSI, Xchat, Putty, mIRC, and sometime Pidgin. The reason Why I am teach you piding today is the simple fact that it handles practically ALL protocols, not just IRC, such as Xchat. If all you do is use IRC,I suggest you check out Bodhizazen’s Xchat Page [...]

Did that, asked on #pidgin, the a-hole attitude as usual are unhelpful. I doubt a forum would help though as the gdb error message said it just crashed out when making one of the umpteen threads.

I gave it up as a lost cause, but thinking to migrating to mozilla prism + mibbit, because xchats crashes are annoying (crashes on when setting a transparent background, getting list, connecting to another non-freenode server – just generally unrealiable, which is surprising for such a popular program)

I suggest you run pidgin from the command line to see what error message you are getting and post on a help forums or ask for assistance from your LUG.

In terms of XChat, try some of the suggestions here you may like it ;)

Hm… got one that makes it not crash when doing “/list” or connecting to another server other than freenode?

I’ve been forced to use it since Pidgin crashes everytime now when connecting to IRC, and xchat is less than optimal in usability and my attention.
