Dear Trisquel users,

Please excuse me for my ignorance.

Based on [1] I get the impression that it is possible to export and import the Pidgin configuration files.

I've exported everything in .purple and copied it to another Trisquel 8 laptop.

But starting Pidgin there it opens with account configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Try also copying the pidgin folders in (I have no idea of the actual name of the path..but you will find it..) -> ~/.config/pidgin , ~/.config/purple , ~/local/share/pidgin , ~/local/share/purple

Thanks for thinking with.

I searched and found a lot of files throughout the system.

After a fresh configuration of Pidgin it now works.
