Hi, i recently installed ubuntu 7.04 feeisty, and upgraded to 7.10 gutsy. I havnt been using linux long, and know little. So far I have been doing all right, and have most major programs and utilities. Only problem is pidgin. I have a yahoo IM account, but every time i try to join a chat room, nothing happens. The screen stays the same. What should I do? I already checked, and I have version 2.2.1 (the latest), and i can message friends... just the chat rooms thas giving me problems. Anyone have suggestions? your help is appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Why not just change clients? Open Synaptic package manager and search "yahoo" or something.

It also supports a couple other instant message systems, IIRC. Like Cookie said, use Synaptic package manager if you're new to Ubuntu or any other distro based on Debian.
