Could you get the Help-Debug Window output of this occurring?

If I remove them, they're off my screen - But will that automatically remove me off their screen ? or is blocking the only way ? I don't believe (though I'm not overly familiar with Yahoo!) that removing someone from your list will remove yourself from theirs. If that's correct then in order to prevent them from seeing you you would need to block them. That being said if all you want is to not see them (and they aren't constantly messaging you in ways you don't like) simply removing them from the buddy list sounds like it'd be enough to me. -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

I believe there were some build problems with older versions of Ubuntu that made building the PPA packages not work correctly so the decision was made not to continue attempting to build for them (especially as I also believe those distros are now past end of life). But as was said you should be able to build pidgin yourself if upgrading to a current version of Ubuntu (or some other distribution) isn't a viable option. -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Pidgin 2.7.11: Buddy icons not displaying

Also none of my buddy's can see my 'buddy icon' except the only other one that has pidgin again. This is one of the current known issues with MSN support. I don't believe a fix exists yet as I believe this is simply (yet another) change to the MSN protocol that we simply aren't caught up to yet. I believe there are tickets filed about this (and the other) known issues affecting MSN if you search for them. -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

AIM sending chat requests to Google Talk chats
I use Pidgin to combine chats for two accounts into one client, AIM (work) and Google Talk (personal). This has worked seamlessly so far, but starting all of a sudden today, people that I have Google Talk chats open with are telling me that they are getting repeated messages from my AIM account that [username]@aol.com wants to chat with them. It's not interrupting the gChat, that works fine, but they keep getting sent these chat requests from my AIM account, when I'm not doing anything with AIM (am signed in but have no open AIM chats and have not tried to start a chat from AIM to Google). Pidgin is signed into both accounts, and it seems like if I have an open gChat then it will send a chat request from the AIM account. I am apparently annoying the hell out of people that I gChat with, so if this continues I'm going to have to go back to using two accounts. It seems like today there is some sort of integration has gone live between AOL and Google Talk. http://www.businessinsider.com/now-you-can-im-google-chat-buddies-from-aim-and-vice-versa-2011-5 http://pidgin.im/pipermail/devel/2011-May/010360.html I am not interested in having chats from my AIM account to Google, and I don't want the AIM account in Pidgin sending these chat requests to anyone that I gChat with via Pidgin. Any ideas? ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: AIM sending chat requests to Google Talk chats
Google and AOL have indeed worked out some interoperation agreement and that is the root of what you are seeing. This interoperation is too new for anyone to really have a good handle on and certainly too new for us to fully understand how it is supposed to work and the ways in which it fails to work. Attempting to IM some...@gmail.com for the first time from an aim account appears to work correctly for some people (including myself in a quick test). That is the very first message fails, the Google Talk user gets a subscription request, and then things work normally after that. The reverse appears to work similarly (with the first AIM-Google Talk message still failing, at least with pidgin I imagine the Google Talk/web client may work around that). Someone in the #pidgin irc channel was complaining about similar floods of authorization requests the other day but I don't think that was ever resolved. Do you have your Google Talk email address registered as an AIM screen name? Do the people with whom you are having this problem have that? -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: AIM sending chat requests to Google Talk chats
no, my Google Talk account is an @gmail.com account that I have not registered as an AIM screen name. Checked with one of the other @gmail.com accounts I chat with via Google Talk who is getting the repeated authorization requests, and their's has not been registered as a screen name either. - Original Message From: Etan Reisner der...@pidgin.im To: Patrick Cranston patspl...@yahoo.com Cc: support@pidgin.im Sent: Mon, May 16, 2011 11:47:31 AM Subject: Re: AIM sending chat requests to Google Talk chats Google and AOL have indeed worked out some interoperation agreement and that is the root of what you are seeing.

So something is, in fact, indicating that the person is not active. If you are certain the 'From last sent message' preference isn't active (and the user isn't using something like the I'dle Mak'er plugin) then I'm not sure what else could be going on. It is also interesting, if that person has a status set to become active on idle (and has idle set to five minutes), that they aren't changing status there. A debug log from the outgoing side might tell us something more (but I wouldn't count on it). -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Buddies not remaining in Assigned group
I have several buddies that I have moved to a specific group. Every time theses buddies restart their computer or logon for the first thing in the morning they re-appear in the group that I have moved them from. These two buddies are the only ones that I am having this issue with. I have re-checked all of my settings and can find nothing wrong with my configuration. What is the solution to the problem.

Moving the buddies multiple times during the day is a real pain They move when they log in or when you do? Is this on an internal server? Are these two buddies part of a shared roster group set up on the server? Alternatively is this facebook? Can you get the Help-Debug Window output from when this occurs (either from when you sign on or when they do). If it happens when you log in then you'll want to find the snippet of xml that involves the roster entry for the buddies in question. -Etan ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
