I am using the Skype-Pidgin integration on Lucid. Calls work fine and I can send messages from Pidgin. But incoming messages don't get through to Pidgin -- instead I get an alert from Skype and I have to open up the Skype conversation window to see them.
The versions I have installed are:
pidgin : 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3
pidgin-skype: 20100121+dfsg-1
skype: 2.2.0.25-1lucid1
I use Pidgin as my IRC client. I set it to remember my passwords for the #linuxjournal and #ubuntu channels. As you can see in the picture, there is a tab titled Frigg. I don't know if Frigg is a user or bot or channel! How do I prevent it from appearing every time I start Pidgin? I closed it before but then it keeps coming back when I restart Pidgin!

Much like the Support of some companies where you send an email a ticket is automatically opened, but instead we need to save the messages to the filesystem depending upon an identified ID in the message.
We're considering two options:
1) Identify by to: header
Messages are sent to 12345@domain.com or os+12345@domain.com, where 12345 is out customer identifier, and the mail server processess messages and saves them to:
/data/os/12345/Customer contact.eml
2) Identify by subject: header
Messages are sent to os@domain.com and the customer identifier is specified in the subject [12345] Customer contact.
We need to do some other verifications as the user (from: header) is authorized to archive messages to that customer, but this is another story.
I tried searching for something along the line of AMaViS and ClamAV filters but had no success.
I can not see incoming video on Skype.
Okay, so I have Skype installed, and it has worked fine in the past. I have been able to chat with my girlfriend on it. We can see each other and both talk. I haven't used it in probably 3 or 4 months. I tried to use it last night and for some reason, I could not see her on the video. It would just show up as a white box where the video should be. She could see me, and we could hear each other. I already had her test with somebody else to check if her video output was okay, and it worked just fine.
I read something that Cairo Dock could somehow be affecting it, but I haven't tested this theory. I can't see how the two could be related.
My problem is this: the video that I receive during a video call will freeze after about 30 to 60 seconds. Before that, it works fine. And the outgoing video (that which I send to the contact on the other end of the call) is fine throughout.
If my contact resets their video by turning it off and then on again during the call, it will usually work again for a few seconds. Then, as always, it freezes.
So, I am clearly receiving the signal. But maybe I am overloading something? Is this a graphics card problem?
SPECS:
* Mobile Intel 915GM Express card
* IBM Lenovo X41 laptop
* Intel Centrino processor
* Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
* Skype 2.1.0.47(Beta)
I'm having a problem with Skype. Whenever someone calls me, the incoming call popup shows up, but I can hear no sound playing. Further, if I go in Options/Notifications and try to test the incoming call event, I'm having the same problem.
The .wav file exists and Skype can play it back. I have tested this by assigning that particular .wav to a different event, where it works as expected. Additionally, the other events, e.g. outgoing call, appear to be working normally. This would suggest, that the problem lies with the incoming call event, rather than the particular sound.
I installed Skype 2.1.0.81 using Software manager on Ubuntu 10.10. Everything is working fine with exception of incoming video. All incoming video is displayed as a black screen. From Google I learned that this is a typical issue with Skype on Ubuntu. I tried the instructions but none of them are working for me.

any idea what i should do about it? Running ubuntu 11.04 and pidgin that comes in the repository
I just started using Skype and I am having a problem with the incoming/outgoing audio dropping out. The videoconference will start normal the connection being perfect. The guys on the other end can see me perfectly and can hear me loud and clear for the first say...10-20 secs but afterwards the outgoing audio from my part is dropping off and they can not hear me anymore. They can still see me. I can still be seen on the other end and typing and the share screen works perfect from my part or from their part but they can not hear me anymore..
Or there are days when it goes the other way round. The incoming sound would be dropping out. I can still be seen and heard on the other end and typing and the share screen works prefect but I am not able to hear them. I am using Slackware 13.1 on a XFCE desktop installed from the official DVD downloaded from the official site and the sound works perfect. I have no problem watching videos and hearing the sound in ..... or any other audio-video streaming sites.
As of recently I've started receiving IM messages on one of my windows messenger accounts that I'm using with Pidgin that appear to be coming from certain contacts that have already been blocked. The messages are spam with a link to [URL]. Most probably there is something wrong with my security settings.

View 8 Replies View Relatedi have a partition, with windows 2000 on one side and ubuntu 8.10 on the other. I installed the ubuntu a year ago but only started using a few days ago. I am currently busy transfering all of my activities from Windows to Ubuntu. This transfer involved, among other things, an attempt to add the skype plugin to my pidgin software on ubuntu. Here are the instructions I followed (from the site Ubuntu Geek) :
[Code]...
After installing the plugin I opened pidgin but was unable to do anything with it. I later understood the reason -- namely, that a condition for this plugin to work was that skype had to be installed and running on my system. So i installed skype (but only after having added the plugin).
In any case, now my pidgin will not start. When I try to start the program, the little pidgin window flashes briefly on the screen and then disappears. Having absolutely no experience with linux systems I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. I thought of uninstalling and reinstalling pidgin, but I get a warning that this program shares vital components with other programs, so I dare not...
I have Ubuntu 9.04. I've installed Skype on it, and I have pidgin 2.5.5. I downloaded and installed the skype4pidgin plugin, and I've restarted Pidgin, I've restarted Skype, I've restarted the entire computer, and still Skype is not appearing in the available Accounts Type list when I go to add a new account.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been an OpenSuse 11.2 user since the past 8 months. Recently I had a issue with the operating system and therefore had to re-install the OS again. However, since the fresh install, I have not been able to capture any sound from my laptop's microphone. This is weird because it used to work fine with OpenSuse 11.2 before I had to re-install the same OS again. Additionally I can assure that there are no issues with the hardware since it works fine with Windows 7. I have tried almost everything, but in vain.

I am using Ubuntu 9.04. After doing sudo apt-get update When I try to insatll pidgin via terminal it shows: XXX@XXX-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install pidgin Reading package lists... 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
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.
I have a syslog-ng running and kernel build of 2.6.34.8 I use a syslog API in my program with facility LOG_LOCAL5 and and levels debug err and crit and info. when I ran on the older syslog facility I had everything logged fine as I intended. now I have written these rules into the syslog-ng.conf:
options {
flush_lines (0);
time_reopen (10);
log_fifo_size (1000);

the last two rules show my program gnssapp. the result is all debug levels or crit or err levels I don't see any of them !
