Hi Folks,

Using the tool for several years and love it... But recently been hit with an 
annoying problem.  I keep getting New Buddy Authorization requests... Many of 
them and all for erroneous names such as...

 They seem endless…

Any assistance you can provide is most welcome!

I have recently checked changes into the bot-sentry trunk that should
help you with this:

I hope to make a new release of it soon.

Re: do we need this list to be spammed by ubuntu's launchpad?

 Is it possible to not have launchpad e-mail the useless 'updates'?

In general, letting people subscribed to a question know about updates
to the linked bug report is a great idea, so no, it's not possible to
disable these particular notices individually.

 I count about 20 in the past 24 hours for the same 'ticket' (37929):

They were actually for the linked bug report, which is Bug #244591.

This happened because there was a serious problem with multiple IM
clients. Someone (reasonably) asked a question about the problem, which
then (properly) got linked to the bug report. The bug report (properly)
had task items for Pidgin  Kopete (upstream, across all the supported
versions of Ubuntu, and Debian) as well as Licq upstream.

This is getting pretty close to a worst-case possible bug, ever. I
suppose someone could have thrown in a couple more clients and tied them
to RedHat bug reports as well or something.

I'll stipulate that answer contacts for project X *probably* (which is
to say they might in some cases) don't care about updates to the status
of a task for project Y on a linked bug report, but it doesn't seem to
me that it'd be worth it for the Launchpad developers to write special
case code to deal with that when it's so rarely a problem.

Yes, this was annoying. So were all the users asking about the problem
(which is not unreasonable for them to do). When big issues happen, we
get a lot of mail. The Launchpad ones were pretty easy to sort out.

It's clear that the Launchpad e-mail bothers you in general. Why don't
you just filter it out?

Is someone familiar with this Problem and could tell me, which settings

Pidgin won't connect to MSN network since yesterday

2008-07-03 Thread Luiz Pimenta
Subject: Pidgin won't connect to MSN network since yesterday
Date: Tue Jul 1 05:59:35 EDT 2008

 Hi!

 I'm having trouble to connect to the MSN network using Pidgin 2.3.1. I
 had no problem before yesterday. Since then I did not update anything,
 did nothing to my system, but Pidgin won't connect. I recieve Unable to
 connet Unable to authenticate messages. I can sign on using
 http://mobile.live.com/pocketpc so my msn account should be OK.

Hi,

Just read that on the list archives:

http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2008-July/001514.html

Apparently I have that problem for Pidgin 2.2.2 on FreeBSD 7.0.

Pidgin can not connect to MSN network, returns error message:

--- cut
Unable to authenticate: Unable to connect

Pidgin will not attempt to reconnect the account until you correct the
error and re-enable the account.
--- cut

I will try to update to 2.4.3 since it worked fine with MSN network on
a Windows XP I have used yesterday. Is there anyone on this list
running Pidgin 2.4.3 on FreeBSD, how did you install, packages or
ports?

Thanks, Marton!

I deleted nexus.passport.com certificate and I also had to delete
certificates from loginnet.passport.com and login.live.com for Pidgin
to connect. After reading your reply I could notice that Pidgin
Certificate Manager (Tools  Certificates) list those certificates and
they have expired on Jul 11 and and Jul 18.

Oh, I think we ran into this problem a few months ago when the
jabber.org certificate changed.  I think someone (maybe Stu?) fixed
our code.  So you shouldn't run into this problem with newer versions
of Pidgin.  Thanks,
Mark

Correct, this was fixed in Pidgin 2.4.0

Re: Pidgin MSI

 Would it be possible to get a Pidgin Version as an MSI file to deploy it
 in an Corporate Environment ?
 
 Thank You in Advance

We've answered this on numerous occasions before.  We see no need for an MSI
package.  The NSIS installer already provides quiet deployment functionality,
and there are a number of tools in the wild to start installations remotely.
The pstools suite has a tool designed to do just this; I have also seen
vbscripts with the same functionality.  There are also whole hosts of commercial
products available for purchase whose sole purpose is Windows patch and software
deployments, such as Shavlik HfNetChkPro.

If these options don't appeal to you, we also provide a zip archive of each
pidgin release.  You can make an MSI package from the zip file, or just have a
simple script that pushes out the updated pidgin files to each machine.
