Sametime issue with buddylist

rmarc71 - November 28, 2007 - 10:38am

I recently switched to Pidgin Portable from a standard pidgin install
(company made me uninstall "unlicensed" software). One thing I noticed,
which is only a minor inconvenience compared to the benefits of pidgin over
the standard sametime client, is that when I log in after the initial
Sametime configuration, only one buddy per group shows up. I also, apparently,
show up as inactive to users. If I remove and re-add the Sametime account, everything shows up as per normal. This doesn't happen with AIM, Yahoo or Jabber accounts, only Sametime.

This did not happen on the non-portable version (which I believe was 2.1.0
when I was using it, though I'm not 100% positive on the version number I was
using previously).

There was nothing in the system log to indicate an error. Not sure if there's some
additional debugging that can be turned on that would be useful.

cause afaik the portable version has exactly the same files as the local install.
