Re: Secure IM - in a nutshell

I think that's more accurate that not. I think logins for AIM, Facebook, Google Talk, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo are all either encrypted with SSL/TLS or use some sort of digest such that your password is not sent in the clear. Full encryption of all data should happen for Google Talk and also maybe for AIM/ICQ (see the settings on the Advanced tab when changing the settings for your IM account). Aside from some great effort that casual/novice users are unlike to make, things such as SILC is the only option? I guess I should point out that if you're concerned about ISPs being forced to log IMs, the encryption you're asking about probably isn't going to help you much. The encryption discussed above only deals with encrypting traffic from your computer to the IM provider. At which point the IM provider can log your IMs all day long. If you want your communication to be private then you need an end-to-end encryption solution, like OTR. [The republicans in congress are soon proposing that ISPs be required to retain 2 years of logs for all customer logins, email/IM and IP destinations. Although casual net use wasn't a concern until now, I'm starting to lock down my communications with HTTPS.] I feel compelled to state that I think this will never happen. It's kind of an absurd requirement. This would be a tremendous burden upon a lot of people, and the gain is marginal at best. If people know their communication is being monitored then they'll start using end-to-end encryption, in which case the monitoring is useless and you're just inconveniencing everyone. I also can't imagine people being ok with this from a I live in a free country point of view. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Rather than a popup, what about an inline error message, like what is currently used to indicate an update? Note that the update checking is only performed at most once a day. I suppose we could suppress the UI and only display information in the debug log. The problem with this approach is that the user has no indication that the release notification is not working properly. Sorry, I didn't mean to show a popup, just to have a minidialog similar to the real release notification indicating that we were unable to check for updates with the same link to the website (which may or may not work in their browser, but at least if they click it, they'll see the message from their annoying firewall). The ideal behavior in my mind is to disable the plugin, show a minidialog with an error message (and a link to the website or whatever) and a re-enable plugin button. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Obviously a more correct fix would be to push the mnemonics down to the prpls, but just doing that with '_' indicators would cause problems for other UIs/toolkits that don't use the same notation, so... Does Adium already have to strip out underscores from some of our strings? I almost feel like the choice of the mnemonic should be automatic, by GTK. But I guess having a human decide the mnemonic probably results in a more natural choice.

It's possible to sign into a .Mac AIM account using Pidgin. The protocol should be AIM, and the username should be yourusern...@mac.com Nothing else should need to be changed. If that doesn't work... could you please let us know what error you're seeing? Also, are .Mac accounts able to sign into the Yahoo IM network? I'm not familiar with that. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Now I'm going to apply for the Google Sommer of Code Program and support pidgin project. I'm using pidgin now for 7 years mostly for ICQ everyday (because ICQ is very popular in my region). Therefore I know about many feautures that the Original ICQ Client supports and the Pidgin ICQ-Implementation doesn't. Last week I started a survey (with 129 persons) to see which things are most important to the people and have to be implemented first. Here are their suggestions ordered by popularity: - About every 4th person complained about the file transfer problem between other clients. - Many people want the old block function back because in the past it people got blocked couldn't see one online but were able to write one. The new function is useful but removing the old function is wrong. The people need both of the functions. - Webcam and voice chat should be implemented - Flash games - Authorization problems: after the authorization sometimes the people are two times in my list and if I remove one of them they both disapear - Status-Messages doesn't work between other clients - Invisible status doesn't work sometimes The other suggestions are good but not so popular like these mentioned above. Therefore I picked out these themes: Filetransfer, block-function, Autorization, Status Messages and if there is time the invisible status. I want to fix this things between May 24th and August 9th - that means in 11 Weeks. Maybe you have some instructions or hints to me? Are there things that are something like undevelopable in 11 weeks? :-D I would be glad! :-) I think that's a great list, and definitely feasible in 11 weeks. You could possible add more to it, but I'm not sure what. Maybe better handling of character encoding for offline messages. Also, you may want to look at last summer's privacy improvement project: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GSoC2009/PrivacyRewrite It hoped to improve the usability of blocking vs. invisibility for ICQ. --Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Please help me with the correct procedure for using finch.
Please start finch using 'finch -d 2finch-debug.log'. This will start

I am getting this error with both pidgin and finch:

But i am not able to find appropriate packages for fedora6.

Which packages do i need to install for fedora6.
Please reply to the list ('reply all'). I don't know what you should do
to fix your problem. Someone else in the mailing list might.
Hmm, are you using a Finch binary which was compiled for your
distribution? I believe this error happens because you're using a
Finch binary which was compiled against a newer version of gstreamer
than the one installed on your system.
Are you using our RPMs? I don't know what version of gstreamer you
would need, but I see 0.10.11 here:

I'm not sure. I don't think I've touched that part of the code. You'll just have to look and see, or wait for someone else to jump in with an answer. Some time ago I tried to add a user which was in the Licq-client-list to Pidgin (which used the server list). At this time a new authorization request was necessary. I guess the ICQ servers require this authorization if you add a user to the server-list. Yeah, this will probably result in the ICQ servers asking each buddy for authorization. I believe the protocol does have some concept of importing a non-server side list of buddies and not asking for authorization, but Pidgin/libpurple does not support this. It also may not be documented anywhere. And it may not be possible. Is licq capable of using a server-side buddy list? If so, does it have a way to import your old buddies? If so, that is probably your best option. Why does Pidgin at all silently (at least for 99% of all users, who don't read the output of --debug) delete buddies? AFAIK, it's *respecting* the list from the server. This ensures that if someone makes changes using another client (possibly on another machine), their changes are reflected in Pidgin. I think our MSN plugin still prompts users for any discrepancies. FWIW, your same 99% of all users aren't going to be manually editing the blist.xml file. ;) Hehe, yes. The changed-by-other-client reason was clear. But what if due to another reason some users vanish? Hmm, probably ICQ clients now always rely on the server list. Yes, we trust the server list for AIM and ICQ.

Reject the patch? As MXit will be supporting and maintaining this plugin, we would look at each patch individually and decide based on its merits and our knowledge of the MXit platform if it should be applied or not. In regards to the patch mentioned above, we would vote against it. We kind of left this discussion dangling and I'd like to try to summarize a few things. Please correct me if anyone feels my perception is flawed. From my point of view I feel like there are two roadblocks preventing the inclusion of the MXit protocol plugin into the upstream libpurple source tree. 1. I'm not sure users will be able to get the help they need from the Pidgin/libpurple project in order to properly use MXit. Some support folks the MXit team have answered some users questions on our support mailing list (thanks guys!), but there are also a few unanswered questions from the past month. I don't think this issue is very important, especially considering the low volume of questions, and I think we could improve things over time. 2. This email thread, including the emails quoted above, seem to indicate some differences in opinion between MXit and Pidgin/libpurple developers. I'm not sure how severe these differences in opinion are. Some Pidgin developers are ok with displaying advertisements that benefit MXit, since MXit created the plugin. Other Pidgin developers have the opinion that the MXit code is GPL, why wouldn't we rip out the advertisements when we distribute it? I recognize that the Pidgin project isn't the easiest open source project to work with--we're a bit closed to outside influences and we tend to hold Stallmanistic[1] ideals about free software. We also tend to give our developers free reign over our source tree. Once we've vetted a new contributor and given him commit access, we're basically ok with him changing whatever he wants. (We do of course review each other's changes and object when we see something we don't like.) But what would happen if one of our developers desired to remove the advertisements from the MXit protocol plugin? I would hate to see a tug of war between a current Pidgin developer and an MXit developers, where one person removes the advertisement and the other person ads it back. If the MXit developers would like the plugin to retain the advertisements mentioned in this thread and the plugin were included with libpurple then it seems this difference of opinion could strain our relationship quite a bit. Hearing other people's thoughts on this would be helpful here, but it sounds like it will be difficult to distribute the MXit plugin alongside the official Pidgin binary :-( -Mark [1] In regards to Richard Stallman, the creator of the GPL.

It is possible to change your account username/login without creating a new account (you must be offline), but I believe access to the current set of chat history will not still be available. The chat history is saved on disk based on the username of the account.

I believe the logs themselves also contain the names of your account and of your buddies accounts, which might be a little misleading in the UI, but shouldn't cause any problems. If you decide not to rename the directories, you can always access the old logs with either a text editor or a web browser (they're stored either as plaintext or HTML). -Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: question about libpurple

In this case we can't use in our produkt goober.com, because that is not open source software. could we buy a licence to use your libpurple in goober? Best regards, Christian Nagel Hi Christian! Thanks for your enquiry. It is not possible for us to grant you a license under any other license. There have been many contributors to libpurple over the past 10 years, and it is not feasible to track them all down and request their permission in using a different license. (It is also unlikely that everyone would be ok with a non-GPL license, but this point is moot.) Thanks, Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I don't entirely agree. While posters must use English to get support from *most* of the primary developers, they are welcome to ask in whatever language they need. That said, making it clear that English is the primary list language may save some frustration. +1 If we ever get to the point where we have lots of people asking questions in non-English it might make sense to create separate mailing lists for them. But for now it's pretty easy to ignore the occasional non-English question. -Mark P.S.

Pidgin 2.5.9, 2.6.0, 2.6.1
Today was a busy day in Land O' Pidgin. We released some new versions of Pidgin/Finch/libpurple: 2.5.9: This is 2.5.8 with some important security fixes. 2.6.0: This is months of awesome work from lots of people. Developers, crazy patch writers, summer of code students, the pope, a Romulan, and an anonymous fictional character from a Charles Dickens novel. 2.6.1: This is 2.6.0 with an important security fix and some fixed compilation problems. Please use this and never 2.6.0! See http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ChangeLog for details. Also, as of 2.6.0 we now require glib and gtk+ 2.4.0 or newer. tarballs for all releases are online and it's likely that an amazing human being will build a Windows package for 2.6.1 within the next 48 hours. -Mark ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I tried the delete .purple and launch Pidgin route, and it MOSTLY worked, except that I couldn't connect on the Y!M (Yahoo! Messenger) protocol. It still works fine (for now) with GAIM, but acts like it's trying to connect but failing on Pidgin. So I'm close, but no banana. BTW, I'm aware of the issues involving logging in as root. That happens to be the default in Puppy (it autologs me in) and I've never been up to messing with it. I may be installing Xubuntu in the near future, in which case I'll be setting up a root and a user account. Next idea? Thanks. One more thing; when it installed, it did come up with a whole mess of missing dependencies. I'm not sure how serious those are; I had the same result when installing Firefox 3.5, but it's not given me a lick of trouble.
