HUD mod breaks Adium (since Safari 5)

Post by anewman87 »

Hi I just upgraded to Safari 5, and now when I click on someones name in the contact list to start a chat with them, I get the spinning wheel for a few seconds and then the app crashes. Is anyone else experiencing this? Also the version of Adium I'm running is 1.3.10 on a macbook core duo OSX 10.6.3

Edit: Ok after messing around with Adium it appears that it's not Adium that is broken, but instead a custom HUD that I had installed. So If you are using the custom HUD that I linked to below and your Adium crashes after updating Safari, then you need to remove the HUD until they update it. Sorry for the confusion.

Damn, I am experiencing this same behavior as well.
I removed the HUD theme, but it still crashes when I try to initiate a chat.

Try deleting the preferences file and restarting the app, it took me a few tries as well but eventually adium opened and reverted back to the standard GUI.

Remove the HUD mod. We cannot offer support for third-party plugins.

Edit: I'm changing the thread's title since it's misleading.

From what I've read removing it from ~/Library/Application Support/Adium 2.0/PlugIns should work.

Robby,

Any word on why it is still crashing after the HUD uninstall? There must be some ghost files lingering or something. I'm not having the problem, but I noticed that mattyhype never really had his questions answered so i thought we could try to figure it out for the archives.
