Hello

[Richard Castillo]

Hello, I was just wondering, if you will ever make an application for the
Android OS.
I really love Pidgin! It replaced so many other IM clients on my PC, and I
would really love to know if you will bring it to the Android OS, I would
love Pidgin on my phone.

[myth]

Hi there I'm myth, I'm e-mailing today for an overlooked issue(if you can even 
consider it that) with pidgin. The aim.exe/oscar protocol allows for you to be 
able to join AOL rooms if you're invited, with pidgin I haven't had any 
success, I don't know exactly why, but I assume it's the exchanges. I'd like to 
see if this issue could be addressed, because well, AIM.exe is failure =), I'd 
prefer to keep using pidgin but I actually need access to AOL rooms.

Why are you using a development version?  Development versions can be 
expected to be buggy.


You need to provide the debug log contents, and, unless you are using 
this version specifically to find bugs, you should be using the latest 
released version.


If this is the only version that Ubuntu provide, you should ask them for 
support.

The current release of Pidgin is 2.10.6, but there are no security
issues fixed in this version.  Both Fedora 16 and 17 contain Pidgin
2.10.5, which is the last version that had a security fix included it in.

If you are using a version of Fedora earlier than 16 your OS is not
being updated at all for any reason, security or otherwise, and you
should upgrade to a newer version of Fedora.

If you are not receiving updates to Pidgin and are running Fedora 16 or
newer, there is something wrong with your repository configuration.

Re: hello

Yes, you can chat using Pidin with your contacts from facebook.

As far as transfering pidgin contacts to Facebook, that would depend
entirely on the service you are "transfering" them from.  Facebook has it's
own support for importing contacts from Gmail and other services, however
that would be done via Facebook's website, and not the Pidgin software.

Re: hello

@Alex,

You will need to contact your internal IT department, or in the case you
are using a 3rd party service (such as AIM, Google, Yahoo) you would then
need to escalate the issue with the appropriate account support process
(often through a website).

This support address is for help with the Pidgin software.  We do not have
access to your accounts or your passwords.

If Pidgin came with your computer, please contact the representative that
set it up for you, they will be able to help.

Pidgin is open source software developed by many volunteers over the
course of 15 years. Some of us operate a 501(c)(3) non-profit related
to Instant Messaging, but that's tangental. It's inaccurate to refer
to Pidgin as a company.

Can I suggest reading:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software
and
http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/

Aside from that, asking questions on this mailing list is probably the
best place to get more information.

In addition to these two links, I'd like to recommend this one, which I wrote
mostly on my own (with some contributions by other people):

http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/How_to_start_contributing_to_or_using_Open_Source_Software

It explains what open source software is about and assumes very little prior
knowledge.

Here is something else: tangible goods (like food, hammers,
refrigerators, ovens, clothing, etc.) require time and effort (and
most probably money) to manufacture and distribute each item, and so usually
cannot be economically be made available free of charge.

On the other hand, software applications and other types of media that can be
represented using a sequence of bytes (e.g: audio files, video files, text
documents, spreadsheets, presentations) can be reproduced and distributed at
extremely little cost. As a result, it is fully economical, that once they
were developed and finalised (e.g: I took the time to write the code for a
program, or recorded an audio recording or a video), then I can distribute them
over the Internet for everyone who wishes to use them while not requiring
money.

Therefore, there is a lot of software and cultural works out there which are
distributed free-of-charge by companies, organisations or even (and not
uncommonly) unincorporated individuals, and they don't expect or wish to be
paid for experiencing or downloading a copy, and it's 100% legal. Examples for
things like that are:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware software and a lot of
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software one, where people
don't charge you to download sources and/or binaries.

* Videos on video-sharing sites such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube ,
which can be viewed free-of-charge.

* Articles on the various wikipedias - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia -
which can be viewed, and read, and usually even modified, free-of-charge (And
are even available under a so-called "free-content" licence).

* There are many other web-sites (e.g: homepages or blogs) whose pages can
be viewed and read at no cost (often without registration).

So there is no commercial necessity to charge people for each copy of
a set of electronic data.

---

Pidgin is a software application that has some development costs, and is
developed mostly by volunteers and is distributed under an open source
software licence (which gives the user more than just the ability to get the
software at no cost - see the links above). It has some operations cost
(paying for the hosting of the web service, the bandwidth, etc.), and naturally
working on developing and improving Pidgin requires some time from volunteers.
However, there is no need to make a profit or have a business model or
whatever, because the Pidgin developers and contributors do not get too much
penalised by the fact that (say) 50 million people have downloaded and use
Pidgin, rather than only one hundred (100).

I hope it is now better understood.

Shlomi Fish

skype4pidgin is available on http://eion.robbmob.com/ and
https://github.com/eionrobb/skype4pidgin . The WhatsApp plugin for

I'm not very familiar with AIM, but I've heard that there's been some

multi-user/group chats on them currently, as of the past few days.

Re: Hello

[pidgin]

Actually Rob, we do have an AIM contact at AOL (or is it Verizon now?) -- 
Donald Le, the one who worked with the team with the login change.
Maybe somebody who corresponded with him could ask him about the change?

Thanks,
Alex.

Oh, gosh… Sorry, I've just migrated to KMail, but of course not even once I 
tried to it worked correctly. I did write an answer, but this time stupid KMail 
didn't get it from the external editor, and sent an empty mail.

Oh well, on to the topic — I'm not a pidgin dev, but I'm pretty sure the answer 
would be: because nobody implemented. I'm also pretty sure that if you want to 
take a stab at implementing it, your patches would be more than welcome.

I would say because video is an advanced telephony application, not an 
instant text messaging one.


Also, like most open source software, the number of developers 
interested in Windows is rather low. Pidgin works on Windows mainly 
because its graphical widgets library does, not because it is the main 
target platform.

This was intended to be in Pidgin version 3 but as is the nature of
Free Software it didn't happen as developers didn't continue with this
work.

Naturally all the Pidgin source code is out there and if someone wants
it enough they could implement it themselves or even pay someone else
to do it for them.

Just a little correction: as is the nature of a free software not backed by a 
company. If some company decided to throw resources into pidgin, I think stuff 
would get implemented much quicker (depending on goals of the company too 
though).

there is a 3rd party plugin called mystatusbox from

you can basically show/hide the other accounts status or have one in

window but it should work that easily.

Hi there,

Based on the timing of your email, are you talking about the recent closure
of the Google GTalk servers?  If so, you'll want to move over to the
googlechat plugin.

Otherwise, if not, are you able to share what service/server you're trying
to connect to that's failing - or maybe what the error message youre
getting in Pidgin?

Cheers,
Eion

Hello World, how to use bonjour

[Alexandro Colorado]

Hi this is my first email to the list. I would love to become part of
the community.  I have used pidgin since the gaim days. I love the IM
but for some reason I never join the community. Time for that to
change. I would love to see some features on this IM but also would
like to get some info about special protocols.

Bonjour, SIMPLE and other lesser used protocols come to mind. And
would love to get more info on how to use them efficiently.

Start with Bonjour, AFAIK bonjour come from the zeroconf protocol and
uses services similar to Avahi. However I never fully understand it in
action and would like to test it with other laptops in my LAN.

I havent been able to find reliant information about how to use the
Bonjour protocol with pidgin and would love to get it working.

Many thanks and keep up the good work.

First, please reply all when emailing this list so that your responses go
the entire list.

Secondly, the Bonjour protocol (or more properly known as ZeroConfig) is
already supported in Pidgin, so when you say "I would love to see more
features on this IM" it leads me to believe that you don't know that it is
already supported.  But please be aware that Bonjour does a lot more than
chat.  For example, Pidgin won't help you find a Bonjour-supported printer,
or find AirPlay devices on your network. :)

Here is the wikipedia article on ZeroConfig:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking

>From an implementation perspective, your network complexity can make or
break a Bonjour roll-out. This is because of the way discovery works.
Unless you have an mDNS reflector, running Bonjour from different subnets
can have problems.  http://linux.die.net/man/5/avahi-daemon.conf

>From a Linux-desktop perspective, install avahi-discover and it should work
automatically.

I do believe there is a lack of documentation on this topic, but from a
functionality perspective, it already works very well!

Below is a screenshot of Windows 8 talking to Ubuntu 12.04 using the
Bonjour protocol.

Seems the mailing list is not configured the reply-to variable to the

If you read carefully you could see that I already knew all that. I
was asking for Pidgin Bonjour documentation and not Bonjour
documentation. Which is why I was addressing this mailing list.

This is my point. A more specific questions goes on the lines of:
- How do I create an account.
- What do I need to be running t make the account work (you said to
install avahi-discover) but I think this is more complex than flipping
a switch on the preferences. IE seems this is a gtk app and I use KDE.
- What is the process to discover users, is there a 'scan' tool or
does users just show up on my buddy list.
- I see that the users show up on a bonjour group. Is this the default?

That is normally considered a bad idea, although this list might be an 
exception .  I have 
certainly made private replies on list on ones set to reply to list. 
It also doesn't necessarily work. I forced it on a reply I made and the 
OP still replied to me.


Another thing that is normally bad practice, but can be essential on 
this list, is to CC the OP.


What makes this list special is that most people posting to it have 
never used a mailing list before, and they are nearly all unsubscribed. 
 Many think they are talking to some Pidgin support contact centre.  As 
a result, they don't see replies that are not CCed to them and they 
think that anyone answering is their personal support person.

Pidgin already requires GTK and avahi-discover uses GTK w/ what appears to
be a python-gtk GUI.  I'm not sure if there is a gui-less version, you'll
have to contact the avahi list, but as a KDE user I doubt this is the first
GTK app you've installed.

They just show up.  It's part of the protocol.  You can use the command

Yes.

And I stated that documentation is lacking in this regard.  Do you normally
criticize those that help you? :)

For the record, CC the original poster (and/or other involved parties)
is not at all bad practice.  People with crappy mail clients *think*
it's bad practice.  It is trivial to de-duplicate on Message-Id:, and
in fact this is one of the purposes of said field.

The message actually has a frowning face icon and says:

No such nick or channel
irc1.smashthestack.org

Why do you believe that the server should know about the resource you 
are referencing?


Without further information, this looks like user error or a problem 
with the IRC server that you are using.


The technical cause of this message is that the server returned a 401 or 
406 response.


From http://irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/chapter6.html#c6_1

401
ERR_NOSUCHNICK
" :No such nick/channel"
- Used to indicate the nickname parameter supplied to a command
  is currently unused.

406
ERR_WASNOSUCHNICK
" :There was no such nickname"
- Returned by WHOWAS to indicate there is no history information
  for that nickname.

Assuming pidgin is substituting the correct information into the 
message, and the server is providing it correctly, my guess would be 
that you have entered a server address when you should have entered a 
nickname.


The pidgin debug log may tell you which command failed, if it was a 401 
response.


PS Please do not try to force replies off the mailing list (you had a 
Reply-To header set).

Please don't list police things like this.  Setting a Reply-To header
when sending to a mailing list (or when sending anywhere, for that
matter), is a perfectly normal thing to do.  This should not mess up
your mailer; reply, list reply, and group reply should all work the
same regardless of whether or not the sender set a Reply-To.  If they
do not, it is *your* problem, and not the sender's.

I'm noticing a number of dubious list etiquette posts lately (not just
from David, and this isn't to single him out -- his just happened to
be the email I replied to).  If you are not a Pidgin developer or
otherwise affiliated with the project, please refrain from correcting
general netiquette behaviors on this list.  When an individual user
makes such a correction, it makes it look like the Pidgin project is
making the correction, as most list readers don't know who is
affiliated and who is not.

Post-specific things like "please reply to the list instead of
directly to me" are fine, of course.

Yes. MSN usernames are for MSN accounts. AIM usernames are for AIM
accounts. The networks do not communicate with one another.

"will not connect" in what way? Are you getting an error?

Do you have an aim account or did you try to use your msn account username
in pidgin *as* an aim account?

Have you set up an aim account for yourself in pidgin? If so, have you
gotten it to connect? If so, you've tried adding his aim username to that
account? And that failed? Did you get an error message?

If you were trying to add his aim username to an msn account in pidgin
that isn't going to work.
