Disable External Chats
Hello. We are looking to provide an internal-only chat utility that our employees can use to directly communicate with other employees. The Bonjour protocol would seem to work well for this (no server required, free) however we need a PC client as well as iChat. Pidgin does support this and initial tests show positive results. However we would need to disable all of the optional features on the client installations before rolling it out. AIM, Facebook, ICQ, Yahoo, etc, etc, etc. Is there a way to remove those features so our users can't add them? We want to limit them to internal-Bonjour-chatting only.

Re: Disable External Chats
Someone asked a similar question last month. See this question and the associated replies: http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2011-September/010794.html I also feel like I should add that I believe Bonjour only works when all users are on the same subnet. Depending on how large or segmented your network is, this may mean that it doesn't fulfill your needs. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Pidgin causes Ubuntu 11.10 Update Manager
When I click "Check" in Update Manager, eventually Update Manager gives the following message: Title: Failed to download repository information.

This is an Ubuntu packaging problem, you need to report this via whatever Ubuntu uses for reporting package bugs rather than to the Pidgin support list. -- Brian Morrison "I am not young enough to know everything" Oscar Wilde ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Hmm, I'm not convinced this is 100% true. He's talking about the official Pidgin PPA, isn't he? I'm assuming we haven't built packages for oneiric, but I feel like that shouldn't break update manager. Seems like either update manager should prompt the user that they'll have to disable the broken repository, or we should create that directory in our PPA. I don't know which solution is more correct. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
