Go to synaptic, search for GAIM, uninstall, get the Pidgin-data and Pidgin .deb (http://www.kalpiknigam.com/blog/2007/05/12/install-pidgin-200-on-ubuntu-feisty-with-all-plugins/) and install them. psyduck;

I already have the .deb files for pidgin.



Which packages do I remove?  I don't want to remove anything that will end up fucking my computer up.

gaim and gaim-data psyduck;

I don't see why you would need to remove them, regardless.  Or how you couldn't figure that out on your own. psyduck;

Pidgin says I need to remove the packages.

I thought there was a third package.

where does it say that
just build it from source and you won't have that problem burned;

There are some plug-ins, extensions, etc., but they're not installed by default.  Why don't you just look?  How hard is it to search for "gaim" in Synaptic? psyduck;

Not hard at all.  There are quite a bit of things that come up when I searched for GAIM.



I'll boot into Ubuntu and give you a screenshot of where it says that.

Then focus Synaptic's list after you perform the search, and start typing "gaim" until it brings you to it. psyduck;
Seriously, there isn't going to be a gaim package named Bob-woodworth-dev-1.2.0-rc6.

ok

Okay, I removed the 2 things you said.


Something fucked up and when I booted it wouldn't detect my wireless card or ethernet card and said I had no networking devices.  :(

Yes. It happened when I logged in.


And I don't know.  I was hoping some one here would know.

I don't know why, but I used to get the HAL error too.

You didn't perform any hardreboots, did you?

No.  I've only done that on Windows when my computer froze but that was months ago. I haven't done it on Ubuntu.

Well, I got a HAL error afer a while last time I install Ubuntu. I tried to find out how to fix it, but no luck.

I don't get it anymore because I reinstalled Ubuntu, though.
