Depending on the operating system, there's probably a way to search for 
files last modified on a certain date.


What operating system are you using?

First, you'll likely get more help if you post with a subject other than 
"Urgent" - I mean really, is it really URGENT you get an IM client 
working on your phone?


Second, the date is off on your computer, or whatever device you post to 
this list - it's fast by over an hour. A message "from the future" with 
the subject "Urgent" is likely to be deleted, unread.


Lastly, You'll need to contact the mxit regarding problems with their 
protocol.

Re: help

You don't have a username for pidgin, you have a username for whichever 
protocol you were / are using in pidgin.


Deleting the program and starting over has nothing to do with your problem.

If you open Pidgin and go to Accounts, Manage Accounts, does the old 
account show up in there?


You COULD look through your .purple directory, under logs, and assuming 
you have logs saved, you'll find your old username in there.

“Through communications with another one of our technology partners we

While I'm not a developer, AIM is currently on 7.3.x protocol. I'm 
fairly certain Pidgin is at least on 7.x.


Typically, if there's a major revision to a protocol, a non compliant 
client would cease to work - when you are unable to connect with a 
protocol, and the answer is "You need to upgrade", that's a good hint 
that the developers of Pidgin had to upgrade the client protocol. If 
Pidgin were using a 6.x or 5.x protocol, I'm fairly certain it would not 
connect to the AIM servers.


I could be totally wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not :)

Yahoo Account Locked?

[Evan Platt]

Pidgin 2.7.1. on XP.

Every time I re-launch pidgin (either after a reboot or after putting my 
computer into suspend, I get the "Account locked: Too many failed login 
attempts. Logging into the Yahoo website may fix this." Not sure what 
other information I can provide. I tried logging out of the Yahoo IM in 
Pidgin, waiting a few minutes, and logging back in, it's fine. So I 
can't say if it's a 'time' issue (ie only if I'm logged out for more 
than  minutes) or what it is.


I AM still logged into Yahoo Mail, I can even click around, but it still 
says to log into the Yahoo website. I actually have to log out then log 
back in.


Any ideas? Would a trace or anything provide any more detail?

And, but I don't think this is as much an issue now as it was a few 
years back, the 'owner' of the IM service (ie Yahoo, AOL, etc) kept 
trying to 'lock out' third party apps from being able to communicate 
using their servers. I remember almost a weekly 'forced' update simply 
because say Yahoo essentially locked out version say 1.2 by implementing 
a small change, forcing the developers of the third party IM to figure 
out what the change is to then patch their program.


Not sure if this happens as much now as it did 'back in the day'.

Re: People don't read the mail list

[Evan Platt]

After 10+ years of technical support, I can tell you it doesn't matter 
where you put it, people don't read it. Places I worked at that had 
IVR's would add a "If you are experiencing  problem, 
press 3 now." No one pressed 3. When someone then said "I'm getting this 
problem", we'd subtly ask "Did you hear the option on the phone menu for 
the solution? It would have saved you ten minutes on hold." and the 
answer would always be something like "Oh, I don't listen to those 
stupid things".


I mean, the homepage even had "ICQ/AIM Login problems? Go to Advanced 
Options, and uncheck." How many people STILL said "I went to 
www.pidgin.im and downloaded the latest version" (thereby basically 
admitting they read the message)?


On 5/18/2010 2:26 AM, David Balazic wrote:

... obviously (judging by the latest posts).
Neither do they check the archives.

So how about serving them the relevant information instead?

Currently it seems to be:
  - flash issue on Windows
  - theme changing
  - maybe one or two more I forgot


This could be put on one (or more) of the following places:
  - home page (it already has a similar purpose line or two, currently saying:
Pidgin 2.7.0 is out with fixes for AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo! JAPAN login and a bunch 
of new features! )

  - About window of pidgin, before the mail list address, somewhere around "Helpful 
Resources"

  - same as above, but just a button or link , titled like "(Current) Known issues 
(- read this first)"
linking to a page listing the few most common problems with the current 
version (or the version
the user is actually running, even if just suggesting an upgrade to latest)
This could also be a menu item in the Help menu.
Displayed as:
  - regular web page, using the system browser
or maybe:
 - displayed inline in the about dialog or a special "Known issues" dialog

Hopefully this would reduce the amount of repeat questions ont the list.

I'm attempting the upgrade on Windows XP, and during the install, I get:

Error Downloading the GTK+ Runtime :

(That's a manual typing of the error, so if I made a typo, that's likely 
my fault.) Copy and pasting that URL into Firefox does nothing (although

Pidgin then fails to run:

Re: Login Assistance

You would need to contact whoever runs whatever service you've lost the

you've lost the password for your AOL IM, you'd need to contact AOL.


Or if you have access to the old computer, you can copy a file from it 
to restore your IM accounts, along with the passwords.

MSN does, although pidgin doesn't support it at this time.

Yahoo does in a limited fashion, I believe you're allowed one mobile and
one desktop device at the same time, although it might only be the Yahoo
SMS gateway or similar.  I haven't used Yahoo in some time, so I can't
speak authoritatively on this one.

IRC allows multiple connections, although typically they need different
nicks.  However, if you use a bouncer, multiple connections to one nick
are possible too.
   
Hmm.. I stand (sit?) corrected. I swear, I tried the AIM option once and

On almost every protocol I can think of, you can only log on once. If 
you try to log on from another computer, or even another client on the 
same computer, once you log on, you log out the other 'session'. So if 
you open up Yahoo Messenger, then log in, you're logged in via Yahoo IM. 
If you then open pidgin and log into Yahoo, it will log out your session 
on Yahoo IM - regardless if it's the same computer or a different computer.


I know Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, etc work this way, not sure about say IRC or the 
other protocols.

Remove buddies (Was Re: missing messages)

[Evan Platt]

Please don't thread hijack. If your question isn't related to the 
thread, create a new topic with a new subject. Thanks.


What do you mean by re-file buddies? Move to a different group?

Based on your question, you're removing a buddy, reboot, and the buddy 
then re-appears, and moving a buddy from say group "Friends" to group 
"Coworkers", reboot and they're back in Friends?


Does this happen if you merely exit Pidgin then reopen it (no reboot)?

What protocol, and what version of Pidgin?

How can I clean for real the pidgin files from my PC because the

Just to make it clear, I don't wanna stop using the software, it's

Re: Spammer

[Evan Platt]

I'm curious, did anyone else get the below spam also to their e-mail (ie 
off list)? I also got a copy to a 'tagged' e-mail that I've only ever 
given to one company, never used to send e-mail, etc. So basically, I've 
only typed it twice ever - once to put it as an alias in my mail server, 
and second to sign in when I made a purchase at a fairly reputable 
place. Contact me off list if you also got a copy, and we can see if 
perhaps you also signed up where I did. Don't want to go blasting their 
name if I'm totally wrong...


Thanks.

If you're at a former Sun (now Oracle) Campus, using the WiFi, and

Depends on your operating system. Windows XP / Vista / etc have a

Linux based systems will have something similar depending on the flavor

Re: how do I know i'm logged in ?

[Evan Platt]

There's probably some other trick, but I add myself as a buddy, and then 
I can see if I'm logged on.

Hi,

I'm logging into pidgen. (yahoo messenger)

I can see other people logged in (as they have the green icon / 'away'

The people i regularly talk too are quite busy, so I'm not sure if I'm
actually logged in, or they're just busy&  not responding (they want

Rather than us guessing what 'error message for AIM' you are getting and 
guessing what 'suggested approach' you used (as there've been a few

you do to attempt to fix it?

Re: Enable pidgin account

[Evan Platt]

You don't have a "pidgin account", you have an account with a IM service 
- ICQ, MSN, AIM, Yahoo, etc. Pidgin is the software you use to connect 
to these services.


Are you getting Received unexpected response from
http://api.oscar.aol.com/aim/startOSCARSession ?

If so, go to Accounts, Manage Accounts, select account, Advanced, 
uncheck Use clientLogin.


If not, what service and what is the error message you are getting?

Re: help

[Evan Platt]

I don't know, you'd have to ask one of the developers. Certainly there's 
some logic where as easy as that sounds, it wouldn't work. (ie what 
comes to mind is maybe there's a reason you WOULDN'T want to uncheck use 
client login, and to automatically 'uncheck' it upon error would break 
some other functionality.


On 2/10/2010 11:12 AM, Josh Ribakoff wrote:

Why not add a feature that detects that and changed the "client login"

Re: can't enable my new account

[Evan Platt]

Rosalinda:

You don't have a "Pidgin account". Pidgin is the software you use to 
access any of a number of different IM Protocols. Yahoo, AOL, ICQ, etc.


How / where did you create this account? If you don't have an existing 
account for whatever protocol you want to use, you need to create it via 
generally a website, ie if you want an ICQ account and don't have one, 
you need to go to www.icq.com and create an account. You can't create an 
account in Pidgin.

And, require someone to join the list prior to posting. I'm all for it
being as simple as possible, ie you send an e-mail message to the
list. you get  a bounce back telling you that you are posting to a
OPEN LIST that anyone can read and join, and that SPAM is not
tolerated. And if you understand these 'rulers' click  and you
will be subscribed to the list and your message will be posted.

This will solve a few problems:

One is the (granted, few) pump and dump spammers.
Two is the people who don't understand this is a list, and ANYONE can
join this list.

I recall a month of two ago someone was under the assumption his
questions for help were sent securely to a few 'high level developers'
and even threatened legal action if his posts didn't get removed from
any and all archives of this list.

If I remember he kept e-mailing (off list) one of the members
DEMANDING the member remove his posts.

Just my .02 :)

This was posted to the support list earlier this week:

Subject: Migrating developer.pidgin.im
From: Mark Doliner 
To: de...@pidgin.im, support@pidgin.im

Our hosting provider, NetworkRedux, will be moving "imperial," the
virtual machine that hosts developer.pidgin.im to different hardware
that will hopefully perform better for us.  The scheduled time for
this migration is 10:00AM PDT on Wednesday of this week.  If anyone
suspects there will be problems with this, or if you think it would be
better if the scheduled time was changed, please let me know.

This should not affect "rock," the virtual machine that hosts
http://pidgin.im/, mtn.pidgin.im, these mailing lists, is our primary
mail server, and is our primary DNS server.

-Mark

+1## is the normal syntax for sending an SMS to a mobile

It started working last night for me. Good feature, didn't know it existed. :)

I am having the same problem as the user above except I am not trying to IM
an AIM user, rather I am trying to send an SMS to a cell phone.  I have the
username as +17815551212 however I am still getting the error that the user
is not logged in.  This was possible to do in the past as I have used this
feature however it seems to be doing nothing but throwing errors now :(


Is this some sort of plugin? Or is there something else? Unless it 
truly is broken (I've never tried it), I tried adding myself as a AIM 
buddy, with the above mentioned format - +1## , and it shows 
online, but I get Unable to send message: Not logged in


I'm guessing for this to work (this would be awesome BTW), the cell 
phone needs a AIM client? But then why not AIM the AIM username?

Re: using fully qualified email address as XMPP username

Good afternoon everyone,
We've been slowly migrating our users worldwide off of the Windows 
platform, but had a bit of a problem using our own custom Jabber 
server with Pigin. We have multiple domains, so we use fully 
qualified email addresses as the username, thus:


bob@mydomain.com

...would be the full username. Of course, everytime we do that, 
Pigin pulls the domain out and pops it into the domain field, 
regardless if that field is already full.


Anyone know of a workaround so that I can get an ampersand as part 
of the username? Thank you!



Unfotunately I don't know the answer to your question, but to 
clarify, you mean an at sign, right? An ampersand is a different symbol - & .

Sounds like an excellent idea.  Perhaps 'clicking' on the Support
MailTo: Link should generate an automatic 'Form Email' including the
Link to Subscribe/Un-Subscribe along with the 'warning' that the Email
is going to be Posted to a Public Forum.  Probably better would be to
state the 'warning' in the same location as the Support List address.  :-\


I second that.. Err me too! :)


Of course, You'll never be 100% successful in protecting folks from
themselves.  God knows, Governments keep spending Billions trying and
failing.  :-D


Good point.


Your MUA is set to Open Email showing HTML?  =-O


As little as possible. Eudora. I know of no way to NOT have it do it, 
unless anyone here knows?


All the "Disable" options are checked, but there's really only "Allow 
HTML executables", and that's disabled.



Still, this is also an excellent suggestion.  If screenshots are truly
necessary then perhaps someone should 'approach' the individual directly
and solicit them.  :-\  If for no other reason than to reduce the
bandwidth required to download HTML Email which counts against those
with pre-set limits. [think laptop/netbook dongles with 5GB/month maximums]


Or people using Blackberrys..

And two people have already told you this and where to find them!


Two questions this thread brings up, I don't know if it's open for 
discussion or just a question for the mods..


The common 'protocol' is to reply to the group.

But - correct me if I'm wrong - if a person simply looks in the help 
file and e-mails support@pidgin.im, they aren't subscribed to the 
list. So when someone replies to the list, that person will never see 
the reply(ies) - correct? Should this perhaps be modified? Maybe not 
allow a person to e-mail support@pidgin.im without - at the very 
least, getting an e-mali back telling them they need to subscribe 
otherwise they won't see replies?


This would also solve the problem that's come up quite a few times 
recently of "OMG! I sent my user ID and password to a mailing list!" 
or "What?! This message was confidential!"


Second question - can we disable HTML - rather allowing people to 
post HTML? There's no reason (IMHO) a 1 line message of "I can't 
connect to the XMITT server" should contain 200 lines of HTML 
garbage, a JPG embedded with the company image, etc


Thanks. :)
