Hello everyone,

I'm still fairly new to this Linux thing so please bear with me.

I've been having this problem where I get an error message pop up lately in regards to the "omega.contacts.msn.com" certificate and after running a search for it on google I found that a few people are having these issues as well.

I followed the directions I found on a few various sites where I delete the old certificate and export a new one into Pidgin and it worked.

However, it only works for a few hours before I start getting all the pop up windows again.

Does anyone know if there's a permanent fix for this?

The official fix
You have to download the 2 new intermediate certificates
then move them in /usr/share/purple/ca-certs
http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/r...e1828b793ea187

the Omega cert that also works too.

Would I do the two under add file or the two under patch file?

Add file are the Certs, they also just released pidgin 2.7.7, so you might want to update first.

Awesome, thanks
