Pidgin: failed to send files using MSN protocol
1If you are using the latest version of Pidgin (2.7.3) you’ll find yourself with the fact that when you send files using MSN protocol not only is very slow but also your friend don’t receive any files. In my case I’m running libpurple 2.7.3 on Linux Mint 10 “Julia” x64. I don’t know the current behavior on Windows, but I can almost guarantee 99.00% that the same problem occurs on Ubuntu and on Debian.
The solution is not to use the original MSN protocol and install an alternative MSN protocol plug-in for libpurple called msn-pecan. You’ll find the instructions very easily but to be short is just simple as getting the package using apt-get. Just run the following command on terminal:
sudo apt-get install msn-pecan
Now you have a new protocol called WLM, create a new account and have fun.

Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and Thunderbird Lightning
0“Lightning” could not be installed because it is not compatible with your Thunderbird build type (Linux_x86_64-gcc3)”
If you run into this problem here is the solution.
