Is there a way to install the Pidgin IM client without installing the Evolution data server? I'm in F12KDE (spin) and have no need for the evolution server and really don't want it on my machine, but the KDE chat client (Kopete) is very buggy and won't connect to my gmail IM account.
View 3 RepliesI've Alcatel X220 cellular modem and I'm connecting via wvdial (Is there anyone who know how do I connect via NetworkManager?). when I'm connecting via the wvdial Evolution and pidgin won't connect to the internet. It's look like they like the NetworkManager and won't connect via other way.

ppa
ppa:julenlanda/evolution
Because the exchange plugin didn't work i uninstalled evolution and removed the ppa. Now when i try to install evolution from the software centre i get this: Package dependencies cannot be resolved This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.
it asks me if I want to repair the catalog, i say yes.
I've been running the Evolution mail system under Fedora-15/KDE for about a month now, and it has some very serious problems. I just noticed that it is available for SUSE, and figured that since KDE is the principal desktop supported by KDE the SUSE version may be fixed. Before I go through the very tedious process of getting the SUSE version to compile on Fedora, I'd like to know whether anyone has seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution:It ignores font control from the KDE Settings->Applications Appearance window, both KDE font control and GTK+ font control, also its own internal font control window.
It has trouble sending messages to an SMTP server, sometimes taking a l-o-n-g time, sometimes timing out. This can be temporarily cured by restarting it It crashes when a filter attempts to refile an outgoing message. It often asks if I want to recover messages that have never been lost. It often locks up receiving mail from a remote POP3 server. I can live with these, except for items 1 and 2, since I have workarounds. If you are fairly sure that you have not seen these problems with the SUSE version of Evolution
I had configured the evolution to send/recive email. After it had been configured, it could receive emails. Suddendly it can't fetch email anymore. In the inbox of evolution, there were about 200 emails. There are maybe 5K emails in the server, I guessed. I'm not sure whether it's the problem that there's one email in the server too big, so the evolution can not fetch it. The error of evolution is: error while fetching email. Evolution version: Evolution 2.28.0. OS version: Linux xxx2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Mar 3 04:57:21 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I'm sure my network is fine, I use pop3 to receive email.

I have a Kubuntu 10.10 install on which I can't update my packages due to some fail conflict between pidgin and pidgin-facebookchat. I can't even remove the stuff via apt-get due to this conflict...

Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pidgin: Depends: libpurple0 (>= 1:2.6.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: perl (>= 5.10.0-19ubuntu1.1) but 5.10.0-19ubuntu1 is to be installed E: Broken packages
The instructions in Evolution say
Quote: 8.5.3. Spell Checking To choose a spell-checking language, select it here. You must install gnome-spell, aspell, and an aspell language package (like for example aspell-en for english language) for spell-checking to be available in Evolution. Additional dictionaries are available through your package manager and are detected automatically if you have installed them. To have the composer automatically check your spelling while you type, select Check Spelling While I Type. You can set the color for misspelled words.

Previously after doing aptitude upgrade, my pidgin seems broken with no gui shown. So I decided to download the latest source from pidgin website and build it from source, but I think I made situation worse because it then complained that ssl lib was needed. Then I removed the libpurple (e.g. aptitude purge libpurple0 libpurple-bin libpurple-dev) and reinstalled pidgin (aptitude install pidgin). Now it shows the error
pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_media_element_info_get_type
I searched on the internet and can not find a solution. The clues on the internet says that's because the piding I use is the older version of libpurple. But I think I've removed all with purge and reinstalled it. Maybe some legacy binary is referenced. What or where it might be? Or where there may contain related information.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBeen a slackware user for over a year now and this is the first time I've run into this exact little problem. Pidgin's most current version in the official repository is 2.7.9, and I want to upgrade to it's latest version (2.7.10). There is no slackbuild for it on slacky.eu or slackbuilds org, the official repo hasn't added .10 in the week that its been out so I'm not holding my breath on an update anytime soon. I suppose I 'could' install it the old fashioned way (make/make install/etc), but I'm not sure what kind of effect this would have on the current installation, or if it would break itself or whatever.Is there a way to get pidgin 2.7.10 installed without having to do it this way?

View 1 Replies View RelatedRunning Ubuntu 10.04 64bit on a Gateway md7818u.When trying to install Pidgin today, I found that I could not do so in the software center due to to a "Software Dependencies Cannot Be Resolved" error. So I went to Synaptic and attempted there. One package after another kept saying "dependent on (insert package name here) but will not be installed" so I went to manually install these packages, with the same results, leading me to "libdirac-encoder0" which would install but conflicted with many of my installed programs it said that all had to be removed to install this package, which will allow me to install all of these other packages, which will allow me to install Pidgin.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently jumped from Ubuntu to Fedora 12 over the weekend, has been quite the bumpy ride. Though fun of course. But I'm having trouble coming to a solution for this problem, that started today. When signing into both Empathy or Pidgin (only with msn account) they both just hang on the white screen inactive... I say "inactive" the program hasn't frozen I just cannot be signed in. Also, in Pidgin at the bottom, next to where it shows your status, it has;
"Available - Waiting for network connection"
This is been going on all day. No MSN in Pidgin, and MSN on and off in Empathy. As always, I suspect Microsoft has something to do with this and wish I didn't need to use MSN. On the other hand, a laptop sitting next to me with Ubuntu connects with no problem.
