Pidgin doesn’t work anymore since I upgraded from 22.10 to 23.04 today. I get the following error when I try to open it in Terminal:
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)If I try to open it from the launcher it doesn’t open and I get no error at all. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem? I apparently have version 2.14.12 installed.

Well, @TunaCowboy@lemmy.world’s suggestion worked, but here is the output from your commands anyway.
That is really nice of you. I will give these a try tomorrow.

Oh wow. Pidgin launched no problem when I ran
pidgin -fstack-protector. Thanks!

ppl still use pidgin??
I use it for IRC and XMPP. Are there better options?
