Norton and Bonjour
Hello: I have been having a problem with receiving new conversations from Mac users on Bonjour. I am currently using Norton and have configured it to allow Pidgin connections to and from any computers, and I have tried both protocol all and TCP and UDP for 5298. Both ways I am still having the same problem. When I have people that try to start a conversation with me, I receive an error in the debug window: (14:08:15) *bonjour:* Received incoming connection from 0.0.0.0. (14:08:15) *bonjour:* We don't like invisible buddies, this is not a superheroes comic But, if I start the message with a Mac user, the debug window shows it connecting to an actual IP address. I have not been able to find a solution online to this problem. I am not sure if there is a work around, or a patch available to solve this problem.

Re: Hello World, how to use bonjour
David Woolley spake unto us the following wisdom: Another thing that is normally bad practice, but can be essential on this list, is to CC the OP. For the record, CC the original poster (and/or other involved parties) is not at all bad practice. People with crappy mail clients *think* it's bad practice. It is trivial to de-duplicate on Message-Id:, and in fact this is one of the purposes of said field. Ethan Ethan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Hello World, how to use bonjour
my question goes into how to use it First, please reply all when emailing this list so that your responses go the entire list. Secondly, the Bonjour protocol (or more properly known as ZeroConfig) is already supported in Pidgin, so when you say I would love to see more features on this IM it leads me to believe that you don't know that it is already supported. But please be aware that Bonjour does a lot more than chat. For example, Pidgin won't help you find a Bonjour-supported printer, or find AirPlay devices on your network. :) Here is the wikipedia article on ZeroConfig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking From an implementation perspective, your network complexity can make or break a Bonjour roll-out. This is because of the way discovery works. Unless you have an mDNS reflector, running Bonjour from different subnets can have problems. http://linux.die.net/man/5/avahi-daemon.conf From a Linux-desktop perspective, install avahi-discover and it should work automatically. I do believe there is a lack of documentation on this topic, but from a functionality perspective, it already works very well!

What makes this list special is that most people posting to it have never used a mailing list before, and they are nearly all unsubscribed. Many think they are talking to some Pidgin support contact centre. As a result, they don't see replies that are not CCed to them and they think that anyone answering is their personal support person. ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Hello World, how to use bonjour
This is my point. A more specific questions goes on the lines of: - How do I create an account. You don't. Adium's tutorial ftp://ftp.cs.stanford.edu/pub/Mac/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/AdiumHelp/pgs/Account-Bonjour.htmlis a bit better in this regard (the software differs slightly, but same idea) - What do I need to be running t make the account work (you said to install avahi-discover) but I think this is more complex than flipping a switch on the preferences. IE seems this is a gtk app and I use KDE. Pidgin already requires GTK and avahi-discover uses GTK w/ what appears to be a python-gtk GUI. I'm not sure if there is a gui-less version, you'll have to contact the avahi list, but as a KDE user I doubt this is the first GTK app you've installed. - What is the process to discover users, is there a 'scan' tool or does users just show up on my buddy list. They just show up. It's part of the protocol. You can use the command line tool avahi-discover as well, if you are ok with installing it. - I see that the users show up on a bonjour group. Is this the default? Yes. If you read carefully you could see that I already knew all that. I was asking for Pidgin Bonjour documentation and not Bonjour documentation. Which is why I was addressing this mailing list. And I stated that documentation is lacking in this regard.

Hello World, how to use bonjour
Hi this is my first email to the list. I would love to become part of the community. I have used pidgin since the gaim days. I love the IM but for some reason I never join the community. Time for that to change. I would love to see some features on this IM but also would like to get some info about special protocols. Bonjour, SIMPLE and other lesser used protocols come to mind. And would love to get more info on how to use them efficiently. Start with Bonjour, AFAIK bonjour come from the zeroconf protocol and uses services similar to Avahi. However I never fully understand it in action and would like to test it with other laptops in my LAN. I havent been able to find reliant information about how to use the Bonjour protocol with pidgin and would love to get it working. Many thanks and keep up the good work. -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor 882C 4389 3C27 E8DF 41B9 5C4C 1DB7 9D1C 7F4C 2614 ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

RE: Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin
Thank you Tres for your reply. I agree that bonjour 2.0.2 from Apple includes both 32 and 64 bit versions (as I used the same executable to install Bonjour on my 32 bit systems), the problem is it doesn't give you the option for installing the 32 bit version on a 64 bit OS (I have both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7 machines on my home network and it installed the corresponding version of Bonjour on each). All the 32 bit Windows machines (3 of them), and my iMAC (64bit but has Bonjour already installed and I'm using the Messages application there) are working with Pidgin/Bonjour fine. The issue is still with my 64 bit Windows 7 system. So your statement: When you install, you will see two items in the control panel. is the part that isn't what I see. When I install Bonjour on my 64 bit system, I see one item for Bonjour (the other item is the Bonjour Print Services). When I run the installer it explicitly says Welcome to the Bonjour Print Services Installer, and lists 2.0.2.0 x64 at the bottom right near the Cancel button (with no option to modify that). Any help you can provide is very much appreciated. Regards, Mark From: Tres Finocchiaro [mailto:tres.finocchi...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 08, 2013 9:57 AM To: Mark A.

Re: Can not find 32 bit bonjour that installs on 64 bit windows so I can use bonjour with Pidgin
@Mark, My testing was done on Windows 8 64-bit . As you can see in the below linked screenshot, a *Program Files\ *as well as as *Program Files (x86)\*directory was created. The two items listed in your control panel sound accurate with mine. They have different names, but one uninstalls the 32-bit, the other uninstalls the 64-bit. http://i.imgur.com/oHhBfuP.png This should be pretty trivial. I also assume you've completely closed Pidgin and restarted it (via Tray Icon) to no avail. Perhaps someone else on the list can confirm it work with Windows 7 64-bit, since our OSs are different. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 12:00 PM, Mark A.

I’ve seen various mentions that not 64 bit version of pidgin is needed, but given that it is impossible to install a 32 bit of bonjour on a 64 bit windows machine, I don’t understand how to follow the advice given here. https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#CanIuseWindowsPidginforBonjour http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2009-October/019104.html So how do I manage to find a 32 bit version of bonjour to install on my 64 bit windows 7 machines so I can get pidgin to work with bonjour. I’ve never used a forum or asked for help, so don’t really understand the protocol. Hope this method works.

Bonjour
Hello, I'm having trouble setting up Pidgin on Windows 7 using Bonjour. We have a mixed Mac/Windows environment - which is why we're trying to use Bonjour. However, Pidgin users on Windows can only communicate with each other, and not with Macs (using iChat / Messages under Bonjour). Mac users can also communicate with each other fine. All machines are on the same network. Any ideas to get this working cross platform? Is this possible? Thanks AM ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Do the Mac users not appear online on the Windows machines and vice versa, or is it that they appear online but you can't initiate a conversation? If they are actually on the same subnet (note that this part is important - network may mean something different depending on how you use the word), and there are no firewalls interfering, it should just work - there isn't anything platform-specific going on. -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Cannot find Bonjour SDK For Windows 3.0 requested by prepare-workspace.sh
The latest source i get from mercurial require Bonjour SDK For Windows 3.0 . Has the SDK been removed from Apple ? Because i can only finds 2.0.4. And yes, i was already logged in using Apple ID.

Re: Cannot find Bonjour SDK For Windows 3.0 requested by prepare-workspace.sh
Ronal, I was unable to find it either. The downloadable Bonjour client version seems to be v2.0.2 and the SDK offered on the developer page goes as high as v2.0.4. I'm not sure what v3.0 is, but softpedia claims to have a mirror of it, if you trust downloading SDKs from 3rd party sites. You may get further asking on an apple developer forum, there may be a licensing level or membership needed for that download to appear under your apple developer account. -Tres -- - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Bonjour for Windows??
I have responded to two persons: 1. I solved a problem in minutes, dispite you. 2. I told a guy that your application has a bug, that is actually has. Then you are telling me to stop harassing people? Why is that? Am I wrong, or something? 2012/11/9 Daniel Atallah datal...@pidgin.im: Just to be clear, there isn't a static buffer to overflow or anything like that; you most likely ran into a memory limit or a numeric overflow of some internal GTK+ type. I'm sorry you lost a message that was important to you. I suggest you enable logging if you think this type of thing is likely to happen again in your use case (I also suggest you try to avoid holding the key down that long). Perhaps there should be a hard limit on the size of the entry field, but really what you were doing is outside of the normal target behavior of any program. Please don't harass and confuse other users who are coming here for help.

Pidgin and Bonjour for Windows
I've downloaded Bonjour for Windows and Pidgin for Windows. When I first set up a Bonjour account, I was able to see all iChat/Bonjour users on my list. After about an hour, they all disappeared. An iChat user tells me they can see me on their list, but can't IM me. I've made sure Pidgin is added as an exception to my Windows Firewall. Is there another reason I suddenly can't see iChat users on my list? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

The first thing to establish is which version of Pidgin you're actually using and if it is a custom build, where it came from. -D -- Mark Kolpack VFX Supervisor 818-634-7542 C. www.markkolpack.com -- Mark Kolpack VFX Supervisor 818-634-7542 C. www.markkolpack.com ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

bonjour on pidgin
Hi All, I am running pidgin 2.5.2.fc8 and 2.5.5.fc11 on another machine. But no buddies are showing up for bonjour protocol. Both machines have Avahi daemon running on them. With a windows machine running pidgin, the windows machine did find the linux machine but the linux machine did not. I saw libpurple-bonjour for fc versions =7. Do we need any patches for running on FC8 and 11? -- Sandeep ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: how to package bonjour windows dll with a pidgin plugin
On Tue, Aug 4, 2009 at 4:54 AM, evanescentcoolnu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have developed a pidgin plugin for windows which uses mDNS to publish and discovery the buddies in a zeroconf manner. Actually its almost like Bonjour implementation in pidgin. Hmm, that's interesting. Does it use the same protocol as our bonjour plugin? Like, are they compatible? I'm wondering what the reasoning is for creating a separate plugin. Right now in order to work my piding plugin, Apple's Bonjour Toolkit should have pre-installed on the machine. But I need to eliminate the step installing Bonjour win toolkit by an another run if it not install when I install my plugin. Does your code link against Apple's Bonjour Toolkit? Or do you just make DNS queries against their server? If you link against their toolkit and you distribute your plugin publicly you would need to make sure their toolkit is compatible with our GPL license (I feel like it isn't). for your info Now I have created a installer using nsis script for the plugin also. But My problem is now I need to install both Bonjour win toolkit and my plugin by a single installer. How can I do this. At the momemnt if Bonjour toolkit is not install when i install my plugin then I have to install it later which not a good thing I guess. I want to bundle the necessary stuffs(dll, scripts etc etc whatever needed) coming with Bonjour windows tool which are needed for zeroconf publish and discovery, with my plugin. Yeah, including the Bonjour toolkit with your installer sounds like a very user-friendly approach. Or maybe your installer could detect whether the toolkit is already installed, and download+install it if not. You may also want to verify that the toolkit's license allows for you to redistribute it. I am not familiar with NSIS and can not help you with this. If no one else responds, you may want to consider asking the NSIS community. -Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
