Re: Local network
You would need to set up a local XMPP server on a suitable machine in your network then allow Pidgin clients to connect to it.

Re: Local network
Indeed, Bonjour is a solution, but I think it's probably not very configurable. It might be sufficient though. Yes, there is almost no configurable options at all. For example, if you require conversation logging, you can turn that on at the PC level but any user can just as easily turn it off. Display names are exactly as they are typed and you must all be on the same network (or have a mDNS reflector service which relays the broadcast from one network to the next). Also, from a security perspective, the mDNS protocol in general has some items that you may want to research as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-configuration_networking#Security_issues -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Jan 5, 2015 at 1:43 PM, Brian Morrison b...@fenrir.org.uk wrote: On Mon, 5 Jan 2015 13:17:38 -0500 Tres Finocchiaro wrote: You would need to set up a local XMPP server on a suitable machine in your network then allow Pidgin clients to connect to it.

Re: Hello World, how to use bonjour
my question goes into how to use it 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. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Sun, Nov 2, 2014 at 10:26 PM, Alexandro Colorado j...@oooes.org wrote: Hi thanks, this is not really what I am looking for, I use linux.

Re: Hello World, how to use bonjour
This is my point. A more specific questions goes on the lines of: - How do I create an account. You don't. Adium's tutorial ftp://ftp.cs.stanford.edu/pub/Mac/Adium.app/Contents/Resources/AdiumHelp/pgs/Account-Bonjour.htmlis a bit better in this regard (the software differs slightly, but same idea) - 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. 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. - What is the process to discover users, is there a 'scan' tool or does users just show up on my buddy list. They just show up. It's part of the protocol. You can use the command line tool avahi-discover as well, if you are ok with installing it. - I see that the users show up on a bonjour group. Is this the default? Yes. 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. And I stated that documentation is lacking in this regard. Do you normally criticize those that help you? :) ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe? Use this link: https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: Settings and Options
@Joey, This is almost certainly provided as a 3rd party plugin. I would assume it's the version bundled with the Purple Plugin Pack, however there is no obvious download location for Windows (which I assume all of your clients use) so you should locate groupmsg.dll on a computer that already has this installed and copy it to the other computers. It can be found in the 32-bit Program Files directory under Pidgin\plugins. In the mean time if you find an official win32 mirror of this plugin, let me know and I'd be happy to test it out. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Wed, Oct 29, 2014 at 3:39 PM, Joey Munoz j...@toledobbb.org wrote: Tres – In screen shot 002 you will notice that group IM 2.6.2 is checked.

Re: Errors in Pidgin 2.8
@Bill, It sounds like something is preventing a good encrypted channel from opening between your clients and AOL. This can be caused by a few things, namely 1. A change in AOLs protocol. 2. A change in network settings on your side. 3. An expired certificate. In the case of this specific error, it has roots that go back as far as 5 years. https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/11142 Some recommendations are to temporarily disable encryption (one comment suggests the unencrypted password is sent as MD5 and never sent as clear text, I cannot confirm this).

Re: Can't reinstall pidgin
@Mitch, The pidgin mailing list does not have access to your passwords. You would instead have to contact the provider of the service you were using. Pidgin supports many services so this could be many places, but a good place to start is someone else in your organization including an IT representative. The person who reloaded your computer can likely check a colleagues computer to determine the service being used and then escalate from there. In absolutely no circumstance will this mailing list be able to retrieve your password. any review, dissemination, replication or distribution of this communication is strictly prohibited Please understand this message is and will be replicated and distributed as per our website guidelines: All information, including names and email addresses, entered onto this website or sent to mailing lists affiliated with this website will be public.

Re: Pidgin account is gone
Rhonda, Hi, if you use Pidgin for chat at work it is very likely that this was setup by someone in your IT department. This is a public mailing list, and although we can help you troubleshoot your problem it is very likely that your IT department would be the only ones able to help you in this circumstance. There is nobody on this public mailing list with access to any of your account information. If Pidgin is something that you set up yourself, please provide the technical details of how you set this up such as the protocol you are using and any special settings you have entered. Do not send your account name and do not send your password. Again, this is likely something your IT department or IT contact should be able to look into first and foremost. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 8:12 AM, rhonda.cul...@oracle.com rhonda.cul...@oracle.com wrote: Hello, My Pidgin account is disabled and I'm not sure how this happened or how to correct it.

Re: Getting my workplace connected
I would like to get my small company using Pidgin but it is not working. I do not care if we use our gmail or davron.net accounts but either way when I enable it says under my e-mail it is not authorized. What should I do to fix this? Allison, You have a few options. First I'd like to warn you that this is a public mailing list. Option 1: Using Bonjour. If you have a small company that is all on a single network (one subnet) you will be happy to know that Pidgin works great in combination with the Bonjour protocol. This requires very little setup and works great for inter-office communication. Instructions are available here: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#BonjourLink-LocalMessaging Option 2: Using Google Talk (Gmail): Google Talk requires certain ports to be open on your company firewall. Some people have had success by switching the Port number in preferences from 5222 to 443. This may get you further. Option 3: Davron.net: No one on this list would know about your davron.net accounts so you would have to explain in much more detail about what these are and what technology they use before any recommendations can be made. Again, please be discreet with information as you are on a public mailing list. -Tres ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

In nearly every case, your client was set up by either you or someone internal to your organization. You've contacted a mailing list that helps people with the Pidgin software. It's like contacting Microsoft when you can't get into your Gmail. Microsoft may have made Internet Explorer, but they can't reset your Gmail password. Does that help?

Re: NSIS Error when trying to uninstall Pidgin
Another recommendation is to make sure pidgin is not set to load on startup, reboot, disable your antivirus, install and then uninstall. If the uninstaller is crashing it is most likely caused by something other than the nullsoft installer. This could be several things such as anti-malware blocking a file or registry operation, corrupt or improper permissions in the registry, corrupt files, bad hard driver sectors, locked or partial files, etc. You will likely need to take corrective action on the underlying issue before this issue will be fixed. There are several free tools such as CCleaner, Malwarebytes, chkdsk which can help. If these don't help, you may choose to Google the steps to manually uninstall an application (with CCleaner supports as well). -Tres ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: AIM taking literally 15+ minutes to connect
I've seen similar 10/15 minute timeouts in other 3rd party applications caused by OCSP timeouts. Does Pidgin take OCSP into accounts when doing it's handshakes? Do your Pidgin connect behind a proxy? In our case, we needed to use Wireshark to determine the underlying issue.

I have tried debugging this myself for three weeks. I've reinstalled the current version of Pidgin twice. I've tried to use the Pidgin IRC help chat and it was completely useless. I tried to file a bug report, but I'm not a programmer and have no idea how to do that. Well, reporting bugs does not require one to be a programmer.

Re: How to set default spell checker?
From my research, I cannot find any (reliable) instance of the switchspell plugin precompiled for Fedora Core 19. As you've probably read, the issue seems to stem from the switchspell not being maintained in newer versions of the plugin pack (this is what I gathered from the Ubuntu bug reports at least). When you installed the plugin pack, did you do so via yum or via rpm search? http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20533834/dir/Fedora%C2%A019/com/purple-plugin_pack-pidgin-2.6.3-6.fc19.x86_64.rpm.html I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

I’ve seen various mentions that not 64 bit version of pidgin is needed, but given that it is impossible to install a 32 bit of bonjour on a 64 bit windows machine, I don’t understand how to follow the advice given here. https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Protocol%20Specific%20Questions#CanIuseWindowsPidginforBonjour http://pidgin.im/pipermail/support/2009-October/019104.html So how do I manage to find a 32 bit version of bonjour to install on my 64 bit windows 7 machines so I can get pidgin to work with bonjour. I’ve never used a forum or asked for help, so don’t really understand the protocol. Hope this method works.

Re: SIP: messages bounce back when contact status is busy or away
Junaid, Are you using the SIPE plugin? (If yes) Since SIPE is not bundled with Pidgin, it is considered a 3rd party library, which is unsupported by the Pidgin project.

Moreover, SMS is a store-and-forward system, where if a phone is off or disconnected then text messages destined for that phone will be stored until the next time the phone connects to the mobile network. So Web-ICQ should do what Pidgin does, which is always show such contacts to be online, since they are always contactable. That Web-ICQ shows my contacts to be offline is then, perhaps, a clue, indicating that the contacts were, perhaps, not added correctly. Perhaps.

I have used Pidgin for years, and to start the program each weekday morning, I would double-click on my Pidgin shortcut icon on my Desktop. The software would then display the chat rooms that I have set for AutoJoin, and then a minute or two later, the Buddy List would appear on the right side of my monitor (overlayed over existing Desktop icons). The Buddy List window always had the standard Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons in its upper right-hand corner, and I would always minimize the List to my Status bar at the bottom of the screen so that I could access it as needed during the day. Recently, I had to disconnect my laptop from the external monitor so that I could take the laptop down to the office. When I brought it home and re-attached it to the external monitor, the start-up process suddenly changed. Now when I double-click on the Pidgin icon on my desktop in the morning, the chat rooms appear as expected, but the Buddy List no longer sits on top of existing Desktop icons, it shoves them over to the left and far left of my screen, and the buttons in the upper right-hand corner have changed. Now I get only a Close icon (a very small one) -- the Minimize and Maximize buttons are gone. The only workaround that I’ve found is to close the Buddy List, then re-open it using the Pidgin icon in the Sys Tray. The Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons appear normally in the upper right-hand corner of the List, but it still pushes any underlying Desktop icons over to the left or far left when it opens. I can’t find any settings related to this in the Preferences. How can I fix this? It’s very annoying to have to move my Desktop icons back into place each morning. I think the behavior that you're describing is caused by the Dockable Buddy List checkbox in the Windows Pidgin Options plugin. -D ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Problem with 'NOT AUTHORIZED'
Dursh, I am not aware of how to import certificates. I know how to export them (most web browsers have this functionality built-in), but I'm unaware of a way to import them. Perhaps someone else on the list is more familiar with the certificate import process.

Re: Issue question
Jeff, Are you inquiring about CTRL+F on the buddy list or conversation window? Windows OS? If you're speaking about the buddy list, it works for me in 2.10.7. What version are you running? Once it has found the buddy in the list, you have to hit ESC or Enter afterward. If you don't, mouse and arrow navigation of the buddy list is blocked (a pet peeve of mine, but I deal with it). I believe this is inherent to the GTK runtime that is used by Pidgin. -Tres - tres.finocchi...@gmail.com On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 3:43 PM, Pishkur, Jeff jpish...@fullsail.com wrote: Hello, has there been any issues with the Ctrl+F search function stopping working?

Spaces in URI Handler
Hi, What is the preferred method for including spaces in the xmpp: URI handler address? I've used %20 as described in section 2.1 of the URI RFC to no avail.

Re: pidgin disconnects, finch stable
any pointers on how to make that setting permanent, so the icon will do that? Please try this (Tested in Ubuntu 12.10) sudo gedit '/usr/share/applications/pidgin.desktop' Change the line: Exec=pidgin to: Exec=pidgin -f If you've created any shortcuts elsewhere, you will want to make this same change on those files. They are usually .desktop file extensions. Or, alternately, you can create a file in /usr/sbin called pidgin. Use this method with extreme care: sudo gedit /usr/sbin/pidgin Paste this: #!/bin/sh echo Starting pidgin -f... /usr/bin/pidgin -f $@ exit 0 Make the file executable: sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/pidgin Now all calls to pidgin *should* use your newly modified version. Test this by launching it from the command line, and you should receive a message Starting pidgin -f. Modify to your needs. -Tres ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?

Re: Fwd: about accounts file
And similarly, if your argument, that all passwords must be difficult to type and must be near impossible to read over the shoulder or else they are REALLY BAD, which in turn makes the user STUPID seems naive and ignorant to any basic practical, efficient, easy to remember methods of memorization. The password: Eth@ngoesoutofh1swaytocr3ategreatpasswords! Is more complex than your example and not subject to a common rainbow attack. In addition, also requires less memorization to retain, since it relies on relational ideas in our of long term memory. To call someone stupid for choosing this password seems a big harsh on a percentage of the population that's going to *better* lengths to secure their data. Stating password1 is stupid is accurate for several reasons, however, does that in turn make all easily retainable passwords stupid as well? I for one tend to choose something closer to a sentence over hard to type and remember character strings? Am I and most people I know doing it wrong? Is there something about passwords WE are naive to?

To effectively snatch either one they're going to have to either see it for a long time, see it many times, or take some sort of photo/record.

Re: Using Google Talk associated with university domain
Jack, I had success doing this: http://klo2k.wordpress.com/2010/05/02/connecting-to-corporate-business-gmail-chat-im-through-pidgin/ The google search term pidgin corporate gmail seemed to isolate the success stories. Hope this helps. On Aug 25, 2013 3:27 PM, Jack Blanton jeb...@virginia.edu wrote: I would like to use Pidgin with an email account provided by my university. The email is @virginia.edu but it is powered by gmail and is basically identical to gmail. I would like to use the Google talk/gchat on Pidgin, but I am unsure how to add the account. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jack ___ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
