Pidgin 2.7.3 and KDE4 - something wrong?
I'm not quite sure what is going on here, but I hope somebody out there can help. I have just installed Debian 6 and the version of Pidgin that comes with it (2.7.3). The first time I started it up, I added my two MSN accounts and chatted happily for a while. After having rebooted the machine, however, I find it simply doesn't connect any more - it just hangs there, waiting for network connection. Is this a known problem? I assume this isn't Pidgin that has an error, but where do I start in order to debug this? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

RE: Pidgin 2.7.3 and KDE4 - something wrong?
I tried to run this under strace, and the last several lines of the trace
repeat this:
2786 read(7, 0x16ec764, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
2786 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=10, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=12, events=POLLIN}], 7, 29971
- and then it just stops. To me it looks like it tries to connect, but what do
I know. Is this what one would expect to see if networkmanager report no
connections?

I think I have seen this network manager mentioned in passing, but I didn't pay much attention. /jan NetworkManager (http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/) is an optional dependency of Pidgin that (among other things) can be used to detect whether or not you have network connections. Under some conditions, it will not be able to detect if you have a connection, in which case, you should either fix the configuration so that NM correctly detects your connections or remove NM so it doesn't misreport your connections. How to do either of these things will depend on your OS. -Original Message- From: daniel.atal...@gmail.com on behalf of Daniel Atallah Sent: Mon 14/03/2011 16:30 To: Andersen, Jan Cc: support@pidgin.im Subject: Re: Pidgin 2.7.3 and KDE4 - something wrong?

pidgin 2.7.11 FreeBSD webcamd
Hello, I've read that pidgin has support for video for some protocols (like for example Gmail); can I check somehow without having an account in this protocols if it works with FreeBSD's webcamd, for example in a local test of the cam? I've not seen anything in the menus for this, Btw: 2.7.11 compiles and works fine in 9-CURRENT Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e g...@unixarea.de - w http://www.unixarea.de/ ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
