How to re-enable Yahoo IM in Pidgin (Linux version)
I have compiled a new plugin which re-enables Yahoo IM in the Linux version of Pidgin. The plugin can be downloaded here.
INSTRUCTIONS
Right-click on the downloaded file and select Copy.
Open a terminal and open a file manager as super user. (Ex. sudo nautilus) Enter your password when asked to do so.
Navigate to /usr/lib/purple-2
Right-click and select Paste.
Close the file manager.
Close your terminal.
Open Pidgin.
In the Buddy List window, click on Accounts -> Manage Accounts.
Click Add.
Select Yahoo (2016) and enter your user name and password.
