Authentication problem
Further to my eMail concerning "Authentication failure" problem with Pidgin (v2.7.5), as appended. I took note of your upgrade advice of v2.7.7 of today's date, which alleges to have overcome the SSL Certificate issue(s) that causes the Authentication failure. However, after downloading, installing v2.7.7 and rebooting, I am disappointed to find that the Authentication failure problem has not been resolved. Ultimately and in desperation I uninstalled Pidgin, [cold] rebooted, defragmented and then [cold] rebooted again before reinstalling Pidgin v2.7.7. However, all that didn't make any difference, I still receive the "Authentication failure" ErrMsg. Furthermore, I used Internet Explorer (IE) (not my default browser) to log in to and out of my mail server believing IE may issue the appropriate SSL Certificate, but that didn't solve the problem either. I also used my default web browser, Mozilla Firefox, to access my eMail server, but without any success either. Sincerely, Colin S.

Try logging into your email id website directly, in a browser, then log out from there and then start pidgin. -- Rawat On 11/20/2010 1:28 AM India Time, _Colin.T_ wrote: Are there any known problems with Pidgin (v2.7.5)? Since yesterday morning, 19 November 2010, I have not been able to Enable my installation of Pidgin, it shows "Unable to authenticate: Authentication Failure". I have un-installed the application, cold re-booted, defragged and cold re-booted again before reinstalling Pidgin v2.7.5. However, that did not resolve the problem, it still can not authenticate. There have been no O/S (XP Pro, SP3) modifications or Malware present (Avast, Spyware Terminator, Ad-Aware, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot-Search & Destroy, Spyware Blaster and Super Anti-Spyware ... with only Avast and Spyware Terminator running in real-time).

A question...
Hi Support Team, Pidgin, you are the best alternative software for MSN and other chat clients. Thank you very much for your existence. Since I have problem signing up with Windows Live Messenger due to some error code which says: "Your contact list is not ready, please try again!", I decided to leave WLM and try alternative softwares and I immediately found Pidgin, a great IM tool. I got familiar with your program and I like it. I'd like to ask you or give you the following suggestion: I use several msn accounts, and because your software allows multiple MSN logins, when I log into let's say 2-3 msn accounts, in my contact list I see all contacts from all msn accounts I have logged in. This looks a little bit messy, so I would like to have individual window for each msn account I log in, where I can see which contact is in which msn account. The best solution would be to make Pidgin runs as many times as the user wants and each time the user will have to select which account he wants to use and in this way he will have new window for each new account he uses. Btw is there possibility that I can set different statuses (Available, Away, Busy etc.) for each msn account I use? These are my questions so far and if anyone can help me or tell me which plugin I should download for this or which option I should select in Tools->Preferences, I would appreciate that information. Thanks and best regards, Andrej ;) ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Request for update of launchpad ppa builds
Hi, I am using the launchpad ppa to keep pidgin on my Ubuntu 10.10 up to date. But unfortunately the ppa hasn't been updated since the release of version 2.7.5. So I kindly request the maintainer of the ppa builds to keep the Ubuntu packages up to date. -- Thanks in advance Jan Henke ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

MSN account do not complete connection
Hi I have 3 different MSN accounts, two of them are OK, but there is one that does not complete its connection, it shows the bottom "working" icon forever. I have tried to disable the other two and left just this one enabled, but no success. The differences that I can figure out is the length of the e-mail address, it is not "hotmail" and there is a period in the middle of the user name, something like this: myusernam...@mydomain.com.br - I'm from Brazil. The other two that are OK are from "hotmail". Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for the excellent work! Francisco ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I digged into this and it turned out that pidgin says: g...@current:~> pidgin -v Pidgin 2.7.7 (libpurple 2.7.7) g...@current:~> ldd /usr/local/bin/pidgin | fgrep purple libpurple.so.7 => /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 (0x289e) but the /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 was an older one, installed from the FreeBSD ports: libpurple-2.5.5_1; I deleted this package and compiled pidgin again with: $ CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include' ./configure --disable-nm --disable-tcl --enable-gnutls=yes --with-gnutls-libs=/usr/local/lib now it says: g...@current:~> strings /usr/local/lib/libpurple.so.7 | fgrep Bad ...Bad or missing signature by %s and pidgin uses ssl-gnutls.so: g...@current:~> pidgin -d | fgrep gnutls (10:10:44) plugins: probing /usr/local/lib/purple-2/ssl-gnutls.so (10:10:45) plugins: Loading saved plugin /usr/local/lib/purple-2/ssl-gnutls.so and it works fine now; Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.unixarea.de/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
