I have removed it and reinstalled. Everytime I start the program the chat box loads up (as in the boarder) And then it crashes. Everytime. I am not sure what to do to resolve this. I am a newbie when it comes to linux so not sure how to submit a crash log if thats what you need. thank you. To submit a crash report run from the command line «gdb /usr/bin/pidgin» and type «r» (for run). After the crash you'll be prompted to install many debug packages with a command, so run it to install them. Then run «gdb /usr/bin/pidgin» again, type «r» and wait for the crash and then type: «thread apply all bt full» and press enter a few times and send us the contents of the output. Also see: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/TipsForBugReports Some other things to try: 1. Does the crash happen with pidgin in a new UNIX user account? 2. Does it happen on a minimalistic WM such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JWM ? 3. Does it happen in a new user in a minimalistic WM?

Local network
Hi, We would like to set up a local chat at our office. Is it possible to use Pidgin this way (without having to use another service (e.g. Yahoo or MSN)? All the computers are connected through our local server. Thank you for your help.

Re: Local network
You would need to set up a local XMPP server on a suitable machine in your network then allow Pidgin clients to connect to it. This statement is correct, but using Bonjour on the same network would eliminate the need for a server entirely and clients would still be able to use chat for inter-office communication. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 1:01 PM, Brian Morrison b...@fenrir.org.uk wrote: On Mon, 5 Jan 2015 17:55:50 + Gabriel Damant-Sirois wrote: We would like to set up a local chat at our office.

Re: Local network
Indeed, Bonjour is a solution, but I think it's probably not very configurable. It might be sufficient though. Yes, there is almost no configurable options at all. For example, if you require conversation logging, you can turn that on at the PC level but any user can just as easily turn it off. Display names are exactly as they are typed and you must all be on the same network (or have a mDNS reflector service which relays the broadcast from one network to the next). Also, from a security perspective, the mDNS protocol in general has some items that you may want to research as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking#Security_issues -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 1:43 PM, Brian Morrison b...@fenrir.org.uk wrote: On Mon, 5 Jan 2015 13:17:38 -0500 Tres Finocchiaro wrote: You would need to set up a local XMPP server on a suitable machine in your network then allow Pidgin clients to connect to it.
