Hello,
I'm an Oracle employee and have installed Pidgin on my laptopt Dell. Now

Problem with Pidgin buddy icon

2011-01-24 Thread Tim Bairstow

Hi,

I'm hoping you can help. My friend on MSN has changed her buddy icon but it 
still hasn't changed in Pidgin. Is there a way to force it to refresh, or 
better still is it a problem that needs resolving? I'm running version 2.7.9

Many thanks

Tim Bairstow

I was not aware that there is any Pidgin port for the iPad.

 Can you kindly give me some advise on what I have exactly to download

Don't iPad apps have to come via the app store, unless you have a
jailbroken iPad? A moot point in view of my previous comment, but

Trouble enabling account after installing pidgin

2011-01-24 Thread Kathleen O'Connor
We are installing Pidgin 2.79.  It appears to install fine but after we create 
an account and enable it the account is not really enabled. We tried several 
ways to enable the account but nothing ever registers.  We are running it on a 
Dell 6400 laptop running Windows 7 service pack 2.   We have installed 
libraryh3lp.dll in the pidgin plugin folder; made sure the security permissions 
were set for all users

Installing Pidgin on Windows 7   

Once the software was installed, we received a window Welcome to Pdigin ; we 
clicked add and used the following configuration :

1) Protocol: Chose XMPP from the dropdown List
Username: vu_firstname_lastname (all lowercase)
Domain: libraryh3lp.com
2) The password is  *.   Check the Remember Password box..
3) Click Add.
4) An Accounts window opened up and we checked on the Enabled box; then hit 
Close.

If we go back it not Accounts window -- it tell us the user is not enabled

pigdin 2.7.9. issues

2011-01-24 Thread kaReL [The Nocturnal Battle of Chariots]

Hello,

I'm a Gadu-Gadu protocol user in Pidgin is 32bit MS enviroment! The app 
was a really nice and simple, but it change in the version 2.7.9. In 
this version of Pigdin I've noticed some problems. First of all - I 
cannot change themes easilly like I used to do with old GTK Theme 
Selector (hope you bring this option back in new version!). No offence, 
but traditional look is just crappy and a plugin editor by Sadrul Habib 
Chowdhury is just poor... Second of all, in GG Protocol function 
Show/Download information (about friend/contact) isn't working right. 
It's just downloading info all the time and nothing happends...


Waiting for some changes in 2.8.0, because Pidgin is an app with 
potential :)


Cheers!

This appears to be a third party service using a third party plugin.

You should seek support from the libraryh3lp.com folks - we (the
Pidgin folks) don't know anything about this third party service.

It already does much, all thanks to the tremendous efforts of the
various developers who put so much time into making our use of the
program better. Much of that potential is down to people helping with
using, suggesting, coding, debugging and ensuring that Trac is up to
date with any problems seen, it doesn't always happen without some
effort.

How did you make that change in the first place? Did you set it from in
pidgin but you cannot recall how you did it?

Did you use the Accounts-[MSN Account]-Set Friendly Name menu item?

Re: Proxy for Gadu-Gadu

2011-01-24 Thread Etan Reisner
In what way exactly is pidgin not working with your proxy? Does it not
connect? What does the Help-Debug Window say when it doesn't work?

What sort of proxy are you using? Do you have it set up in pidgin correctly?

Re: get buddy list from Sametime server?

 Thank you!

I believe this used to be an option that was controllable in pidgin but
that got lost during a policy change on where protocols can expose options
and has never been fixed (because the Sametime support is unmaintained).

If you check your ~/.purple/prefs.xml file you should find a
/plugins/prpl/meanwhile/blist_action preference (each part of that 'path'
is a nested tag, search for blist_action and you should find what you
need). That pref is likely set to 1 by default (which corresponds to
'local only') if you change it to 2 you may get what you want (that's
'merge from server').

You may also want to try 3 (merge from and save to server) or 4 (sync with
server).

I don't know what they all do exactly and can't tell you much more than
that they are there, hopefully one of them does what you need.

Access to a Sametime server would most likely be useful but I'm not sure
we currently have anyone in a position to make use of it to any real
effect. Patches are always welcome however.

It should be pointed out that the actual protocol implementation is the
meanwhile library and that pidgin simply uses that so any protocol level
changes would need to be made there.
