Cannot run pidgin - AndyM - 04-09-2022
If I run Pidgin from the command line, after a reboot, I get:
Code:
$ pidgin
(Pidgin:7130): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: 15:13:54.696: gst_element_message_full_with_details: assertion 'GST_IS_ELEMENT (element)' failedAny ideas?

and pidgin will not run. Google says that it is to do with the camera, but what do I know?Code:$ pidgin

Any ideas?
It seems that the error can be ignoredÂ
The reason pidgin does not start is that Chatty also uses libpurple, so, if I start pidgin with the -m flag it runs as expected (at least for the momentÂ
)I suspect that the video will not work, but that seems to be normal for the Pinephone camera.
