I'm using the Messaging Menu and pidgin, and generally I like how I can get notifications. My biggest gripe is that when I click the close button (not quit) on pidgin instead of quitting the program like it used to it will minimize to the Messaging Menu. Is there some way to disable this?
View 1 RepliesI'm looking for an applications that can notify me about new mails at Gmail, but I want it to be working inside the Messaging Menu.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor some reason, since logging in recently, I've got 2 instances of the Broadcast in the messaging menu. One of them is indicated as running, the other one is not. When I select the one that isn't running, a *third* instance of the Broadcast button appears - so I now have 2 running, and one not running in the messaging menu. In the usr/share/indicators/messages/applications folder, I have 3 files - Gwibber, Empathy, and Thunderbird.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found some info on how to let apps put their icons in the notification panel. This involves using dconf-tools to whitelist some apps in the com.canonical.Unity.Panel gsetting. Firstly, I'm using ubuntu classic, not unity. I assume the above would still apply for my notification panel settings? Anyway, that is not my question. What I am wondering, The messaging icon in that panel, when you click it, you see things like "Setup Chat", "Setup Mail" etc. I don't plan on using empathy or evolution. In fact, I've uninstall them both and installed Pidgin instead. Is there a way to edit that messaging menu to either remove those 2 options at the top that are useless to me, or have them look at other IM/email clients instead of the ones they are expecting to invoke. E.g. "Setup Chat" is irrelevant, as I have already set it up. Since I don't have empathy installed anymore, clicking that option has no effect.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've finally found out how to add Thunderbird to and remove Evolution from the Messaging Menu. the only problem is that the Thunderbird notifier will only monitor my inbox.I use procmail to filter messages server-side, and want to check for the presence of new messages in another folder. The only app I've found that can do this so far is mail-notification, which can be pointed to directories other than Inbox.if/how I can integrate this into the Messaging Menu interface? Or are there any other solutions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt was there until I just now added skype to the messaging menu. I did this by typing "gksu gedit /usr/share/indicators/messages/applications/skype" in terminal and adding /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop to the file. After i done that i checked the applet and evolution was gone. It now shows "chat" on top, then "broadcast", then skype. The evolution file is still there containing "/usr/share/applications/evolution.desktop" I did notice there being two the same evolution icons in "/usr/share/applications" + the evolution mail and email settings icons.
This probably isn't of importance but the only other thing i ever changed earlier in the application applet was adding emesene. I deleted emesene and since i diddnt quite know how do delete text file made for it so I just removed the "/usr/share/applications/emesene.desktop" text from the file. Also when i had emesene installed and the icon in the indicator applet it showed on top is it possible for me to get the skype icon on top as well?

When I wanted to test the webcam in pidgin, I do not work. Abri a chat window with a user and I get a option name "MEDIA" and displayed the "do called "sending camera" "Start Video Call" but the problem is that they are as dull, does not allow me selected. Surely it is why they are off, but I honestly do not know how to activate or turn them on.

I uninstalled Empathy and installed Pidgin, because I just couldn't take Empathy's lack of features any more. The "Me" menu doesn't work properly with Pidgin, though. Every time I change my status via the Me menu, it knocks me off-line on three of my four accounts. how to disable (or even remove) the "Me" menu? It's only functionality is to control messaging and social networking services, right?

I never noticed the go menu having history before 10.10 - so I'm not sure when that got introduced.
but since I've noticed it, it is now driving me crazy! Certainly not a "real" problem, but I want this history turned off, and I can't figure out how to do it. I've been searching the web and forums, no luck there either.
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about "recent documents" - I use that all the time, and know how to disable that if I wanted.
I always accidentally release right mouse button in any right click menu, so it automatically selects one of highlighted item in this menu. It's mostly the first item, so as example, if I am watching ..... video, and I right click somewhere in the page background, then release the mouse, it makes my browser go BACK one page, because BACK is first item in right click menu in chrome...
Also I would like it to make it unable to right click in right click menu to press items in the menu... In other words, right click in right click menu has the same behavior like left click, but I want to disable it. I want it just like in MS windows, where when you click with right click in right click menu it does nothing. I have so many accidents with this right click menu.
I wanted to know if there's a way to remove the icons (including the ubuntu icon in the Applications Places System menu).
I've followed directions in [URL] but this only works for icons under the system menu.
I wanted to have a clean, text only feel in my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. i'm using gnome Version: 2.28.1 by the way.
I've just reinstalled 10.04 LTS, after my update from 9.10 to 10.04 made some weird errors. So everything is good now, the problems before were fixed by the reinstall.By the reinstall, grub2 were installed aswell. Before, I ran grub1 (I guess) and at bootup it didnt show the list of boot choices you have, like safe boot or other OS if you have multi boot. It just booted up and I could press ESC if I wanted the menu. That disapperead after I installed grub2, so how do I get this function back, I kinda liked it.
One more question, after the reinstall I setup the taskbar and by mistake I remove the sound control. How do I get this back, it's not in the "Add to panel" when I right click on the taskbar.

View 3 Replies View RelatedPreviously 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.
I'm running Kubuntu, updated to 10.04. After working OK, today Windows started disappearing whenever I click to minimize them. They're still running, but I have to go to System Monitor, locate the program in the list and click "Show Window." That's a nuisance.
I think this began after I tried to move panel icons to the right with an adjustable spacer. I've hunted all over the place for some setting to get windows to operate properly. The "Window Behavior" item in System Settings doesn't have anything. I removed the spacer and that didn't do anything, either.
