Why would that be? Try running pidgin as pidgin -f and see if the problem goes away. It may be getting unfortunate notifications from Network Manager that finch does not ask for. Ethan Ok, based on one hour of using pidgin, I think that does the trick. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, it's using the unity interface. any pointers on how to make that setting permanent, so the icon will do that? If not, that's ok. just wanted to say that this *seems* to be a solution, so far :) -Thufir ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: pidgin disconnects, finch stable
any pointers on how to make that setting permanent, so the icon will do that? Please try this (Tested in Ubuntu 12.10) sudo gedit '/usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop' Change the line: Exec=pidgin to: Exec=pidgin -f If you've created any shortcuts elsewhere, you will want to make this same change on those files. They are usually .desktop file extensions. Or, alternately, you can create a file in /usr/sbin called pidgin. Use this method with extreme care: sudo gedit /usr/sbin/pidgin Paste this: #!/bin/sh echo Starting pidgin -f... /usr/bin/pidgin -f $@ exit 0 Make the file executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/pidgin Now all calls to pidgin *should* use your newly modified version. Test this by launching it from the command line, and you should receive a message Starting pidgin -f. Modify to your needs. -Tres ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Too long message
Hi, everybody It's really bad that pidgin does the following: When a message which is too long gets send, it says that it was too long to send it, but the message is lost. Is the message somewhere and I couldn't find it? If not, this would be nice to get fixed. Greetings Julius ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: cannot remove irc channel of offline account?
Am 30.08.2013 21:07, schrieb Dave Warren: This is a bit of a cheat, but just change the server name or port number to something invalid temporarily, then enable the account. Once the account is trying to connect (but failing, to avoid getting you banned) you should be able to remove the channel. that did not work unfortunately. Well, i did edit the ~/.purple/blist.xml and removed the sections of 5 channels. Now i patched the irc_chat_join function in libpurple/protocols/irc/irc.c that it waits one second before joining a new channel. but because of timing conditions i'm not quite sure, if that helps. And that's quite a hack, because i do not know the workings in the back (thread stuff?, just serial? plugin-pre/post-functions?) so i will open a bug in the pidgin ticketsystem. Sadly in the protocol plugin section i didn't find any hint about a mass join method which could be used for stuff like that, i think freenode will not the only problem (and you would have to parse login/chanserv/nickserv information how much channel you are allowed to join entirely. well, let's see :) yours ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Please help us in blocking outer services in Pidgin . We want to allow only XMPP services for the Client Users how to do this . XMPP is actually a protocol not a service. As it used by both Facebook's and Google's IM services, if your concern is time-wasting, removing support for everything except XMPP will still leave at least two services that many businesses would consider time wasters. Also, as is always stated when this question is asked, it is fairly easy for end users to locally install the bits you take away to block other protocols. Basically, you simply remove the plugins for the protocols you don't want used. However, the recommended way of doing it is to block access to unwanted services in your firewall, not on the end user machines. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

My two cents. No. The problem is that this has been going on for *years*, we've contacted Oracle via several channels, and it's not getting better. It's very annoying and shows that Oracle is more than happy to reap the benefits of open source software and cost us time and effort without giving anything back. It looks really bad. It's very short-sighted of you to think you understand the situation after one mailing list post.
