I installed pidgin when I upgraded to ubuntu 20.04, and realized immediately that notifications were not working properly and I could not close the buddy list without also closing the chat window.
When I went to check on the libnotify plugin, I realized it was no longer on the list, how can I add it again? I can't seem to find a download link to the standalone plugin anywhere.
I was able to download the deb package for 18.04 from https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/pidgin-libnotify and I installed it into 20.04 with:
sudo apt install ./pidgin-libnotify_0.14-9ubuntu2_amd64.deb
The libnotify plugin used to be bundled by the Ubuntu pidgin package (even though it is not part of pidgin), however there are other notification plugins (including a more-advanced libnotify++ plugin) on https://pidgin.im/plugins .
