Bug report.
I have to disable the account and then re-enable it to get online. For each account.
PS: I found that after a long amount of time, or maybe in certain conditions it connects eventually. (I'm using Xfce.)

Re: PIdgin "Waiting for network connection" yet conn is read
I'm experiencing this as well, on LMDE with GNOME 3. Before installing GNOME 3, Pidgin worked fine, and it also works fine in Mint 11 'Katya', so unfortunately I have no idea why it happens or how to fix it.
I'll admit, I didn't know about disabling and re-enabling the accounts being a valid workaround for the problem though, never thought to try that... I'll thank you for that, but it is only a workaround and not exactly ideal...

Re: PIdgin "Waiting for network connection" yet conn is read
My current workaround for this is compiling pidgin without network-manager support.
The following in a terminal should work:
replace all instances of "enable-nm" with "disable-nm" and save. Finally,
and wait 5-10 minutes and you should have pidgin built up. To install:
I hope it works for you too.
The following in a terminal should work:
Code: Select all
apt-get source pidgin
sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
cd pidgin-2.10.0
gedit debian/rules
Code: Select all
debuild
Code: Select all
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i pidgin_2.10.0-1_amd64.deb pidgin-data_2.10.0-1_all.deb
