Ubuntu :: Pidgin And ICQ - Received Unexpected Response
Apr 13, 2010
I'm having problems logging on to ICQ. This is the error I get:
Received unexpected response from [URL] : useTLS=1 is not allowed for non secure requests.
My pidgin seems to be the latest one. The only thing I have changed is I have upgraded to 64 bit OS.
I'm working on an application that makes http requests using HttpRequest and it's been doing what I need so far without a problem. Now I need to make https requests as well and when I try to make the request, i get this error message:
Code: Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'HttpInvalidParamException' with message 'Empty or too short HTTP message: ''' in /home/antoranz/waneesia/html/index.php:0 inner exception 'HttpRequestException' with message 'SSL connect error; gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS packet with unexpected length was received. (https://www.paypal.com/)' in /home/antoranz/waneesia/html/index.php:104 Stack trace: #0 /home/antoranz/waneesia/html/index.php(0): HttpRequest->send() #1 {main} thrown in /home/antoranz/waneesia/html/index.php on line 0 What's going on?
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...
sudo apt-get remove pidgin Code: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
when I try to access any page even small html pages it stays like 3 seconds in HTTP request sent; waiting for response. state..even when I use Lynx locally on the server..bypassing any possible network issues..logs dont show a thing..the server itself is a high end server with nothing running on it apart from apache which is not serving anny clients now, firewall is disabled and hostnamelookups are set to OFF.
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 relatively new computer that won't boot Win 7. After going through a lot of tries, I got a suggestion that I try to boot using Ubuntu from a USB flash drive ( since I can't burn a CD).
I followed the procedure to put the necessary files (Version 10.04 64 bit if I recall correctly) on the drive and tried to boot using it.
I got this message:
When I tried to boot again (from the above) I just got the second message (No DEFAULT etc.)
I took my Dell Netbook and built some kind of networkstorage around it, with an external USB-HDD.
So far everything is working as expected, the only hassle is that the netbook tends to go to sleep unexpected, for example while playing music, running streamripper or downloading a linux distro.
I couln't find any hints in the syslog or the PM logs what is causing the system to go to sleep.
I am new to Ubuntu almost installed it after windows showed blue screen 4 ever n ever. However after installing ubuntu whenever I log in windows it doesnt detect any network connection but when I use Ubuntu it automatically does can it be that Ubuntu is causing any problem? And how to check how many packets are being sent and received through my wired network and do I have to install any drivers for my modem in Ubuntu.
I installed and configured postfix per the guide on help.ubuntu.com. Everything seems to work fine with smtp and it says that my emails are being sent, but I never receive them.What could be causing this problem?The local mailbox shows that the email was sent.Mail.log shows that the message was delivered to the mailbox.
This has been bugging me for quite a long time. I need to have a pptp connection to my university. I have tried to locate the error, but this has been a real trouble.
A little bit of history: My girlfriend had a laptop with M$ vista on it with a working PPTP connection. I had a laptop with Ubuntu, with which I couldn't get the PPTP working.
When my laptop crashed, I bought a new one on which I run a dual boot XP SP3 and Ubuntu. I also own a desktop (Dual M$ Win 7 / Ubuntu standard Karmic) and my girfriend also upgraded to Win 7.
Currently, the XP version is the only one on which I can get a connection. Both Ubuntu and the Win 7's give me a GRE proc 47 not received error. I know our router (a DAVOLINK DV2020) is notorious for not sending through GRE proc 47, but this either shouldn't be the case or it shouldn't matter, since I can make a perfect connection through the XP OS.
This is quite a handicap, since we both study at the university for which we require working VPN PPTP connections.
One reason I left Windows behind, particularly with a 3GB a month download limit, was that Linux generally only downloads files when you expect it to. Having the cap on downloads I run Netmeter in Wine. Now if like today I see a large unexpected download (pic) which is even in red to increase the paranoia, how can I find out what it is preferably while it is happening? It does not seem to be an email with attachment (I run Thunderbird); Nothing in Downloads, and as far as I knew application updates only happen after confirming permission in update manager?
We are testing Ubuntu as the base for our products, we create custom Karmic installations (debootstrap + some extra packages) and then deploy our software, these systems can start in two different modes: "normal" and "read-only". We must say the system works quite well, but after some time, several systems are showing a common error: they don't start or fail showing an unexpected inconsistency for one of the partitions (every system has one hard disk with four partitions), the message refers to an unexpected inconsistency. When this error appears, a recovery console is started and I can run fsck and answer "yes" to its recommendations, after this the system runs again without errors. The problem is that this error can appear again at a random time and we need to avoid this "manual fixing" process, I've searched the web and found some references to a bug? in an early Karmic version: [URL]
Besides ALSA 1.0.23, we use only standard Karmic tools (all from the official repositories), we are running the latest kernel update available for Karmic, and don't know whether this inconsistency is caused by our software or by the system itself, or maybe because of incorrect shutdown?
At the moment, I'm setting a new test system using Lucid. Does anybody know if this is a "common" error in Karmic?
I'm using XDisplayHeightMM function from X11/Xlib.h, on one machine and it returns 203,while another machines returns 41351.why the second machine returns such a bigger value? does it have to do with the configuration?
I upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1 (which took a ton of effort, though it'd take five seconds if I had to do it again).Today I fixed the link in the toolbar to open up the new version instead of the old version, by replacing the Firefox folder in the usr/lib folder, and specifying the location and name in the properties of the icon.I realized that somehow I messed up something, and Alt-F2: "firefox" no longer runs firefox. Any ideas about how Alt-F2 works? I'm guessing it's a /bin, but experiments injecting Firefox into /bin's hasn't worked.
After reading everything that says you don't need an anti-virus for Linux. OR Linux doesn't get viruses. Guess what I have a Virus. I don't know which one, but it is sending out spam emails from my webmail, MSN, account. I do not have a local client installed. I am guessing it is linking into MSN through Pidgin, getting the addresses there, and sending the spam, somehow, through MSN. Actually one MSN and one Hotmail account. I also have not been able to find an anti-virus program for Ubuntu. There do not seem to be any listed in the software repositories that Ubuntu links into. How do I get rid of it? My contacts are starting to get upset.
I keep finding packets that appear to be whois on port 44. they appear to originate from me to whois.arin.net (2 packets each time) and 199.212.0.43 (also 2 packets each time) when I put 199.212.0.43 in the URL box it says "Failure To Connect To Web Server". when I whois it it says:
Quote:
Available at [url] And yes, I did get the same packets when I used whois. Why is my computer randomly whoising stuff?
I was wondering if there was a Windows or Ubuntu way to limit the amount of data that is able to be sent over the internet between certain times, eg. Between the times of 7am and 7pm can only download 300 MB from the web, when this limit is reached the web is either disconnected or slowed down.
Recently a friend received a couple of emails from someone she knows with web links that purported to be about health issues. She clicked through on two of them; one gave an error, and the other went to a ****** site, so she believes these are "virus" sites. And the person who "sent" the email has just confirmed that his account was "hacked" (I'm guessing actually a virus on his computer). So, two questions:
1) She's running ubuntu 10.04. Is there any reason she should have concerns about her system's security? rkhunter gives no warnings.
2) She is also concerned that it could have compromised her email account (on gmail). I don't see how this is possible, but can anyone confirm about that?
I am having (seemingly) random trouble with my wired network ever since I installed Lucid. I have no problem getting an ip address from dhcp. However, randomly the computer will boot and although I have an ip address I do not receive any responses for pings on the network nor can I browse the web. If I sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart a few times (or reboot) it will start working. However, restarting the networking services (as mentioned above) again will cause me to no longer receive responses for pings or browse the web.
Furthermore, I have never been able to successfully ping if I manually set an ip address. I have un-installed network manager and I am using /etc/network/interfaces to configure the network. Using Lucid Lynx 64bit on a Dell Precision. I have pasted below the output of a few working commands. When I switch between static ip and dhcp I am commenting/uncommenting the lines shown in /etc/network/interfaces.
I recently installed Avant Window Navigator and worked fine. My problem is that I don't have on any preferences tab the option to Alert me when Window receive updates. It seems the new version does not have it as previous versions.I was wondering how can I enable the Alerts when Updates are received in windows.PS. I checked all tabs and seems this option is missed.I forgot to mention that I am also new at GNU/Linux.
After customizing my .bashrc for a nice pretty shell locally I decided I wanted it to look nice remotely to I created a ~/.bash_profile in my home directory so I wouldn't have to type bash upon logging in I'd just be greeted with my colors and customizations. I placed the files on 2 remote locations and ssh'd in and worked just like it wanted it to, later that same day I tried to sftp in to one of the locations and it kept disconnecting me after I'd input my password, but I could still ssh in just fine. After trying a few suggestions from the web like [URL] with no success I decided to ask some friends. They narrowed it down to the motd and echo's in my .bashrc. Finally I asked a very experienced developer about it and so without further adue here is the .bashrc / .bash_profile
BASHRC: Code: PS1='[e[0;32m]u[e[1;34m]@h[e[m] [e[1;34m]w[e[m] [e[1;32m]$[e[m] [e[1;37m]' # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then [code]....
Unfortunately I forgot to mention to get it to launch the terminal with the greeting / fortune you have to have the echos uncommented in the .bashrc locally, or know more about shell scripting than I [wouldn't surprise me at all if someone is able to expand upon my bashrc and fix my minor problem] and have it not echo or execute fortune on sftp only somehow. So if you have fortune uncommented be prepared to be unable to sftp IN to the box that it is uncommented on.
My Kubuntu installation (9.10) boots up normally and seems to run fine, other than it is very slow to respond to inputs or change screens/ applications etc. It can take 5-10 seconds to respond to simple requests like changing from firefox to dolphin by clicking in the taskbar. It is dual boot with XP, which also seems sluggish, but is bearable.
The computer is barely useable in Kubuntu because of the slow response. I had 9.04 installed before, same problem. I tried searching for drivers for the on board video, thinking that might be it, but came up empty.
When I go to, say ..... or even speedtest.net the flash there is almost unusable. Mouse over interaction works perfectly. However, when you click on something (say a play button) its a complete crapshoot. Sometimes it works, some times you have to click dozens (often more) of times before it will respond. I had an older install of 9.10 (granted it was a while ago and I believe it was 32bit) and I don't ever remember having this issue and I just removed an openSUSE install that I know didn't have this issue. So far my only attempts to fix this would be the remove --purge of the restricted extras pack and reinstalling it. I have also tried installing flash through the Software Center. This particular issue exists in both Firefox and Chrome and I'm not too sure what to make of it. On boot, for some reason, my main volume is always turned all the way down and muted.
[COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"][COLOR="rgb(0, 100, 0)"]I'm really over my head here. I don't understand what's going on and don't know where to even start to find this problem. I restarted my computer and everything seems fine. If it is important to know what the computer was doing before it crashed, it was converting a mkv movie to avi. I have intel integrated 82945GC, using kernel i915.The web search says it might be an x problem, but then after going to their recommended website x.org, I couldn't find anything to relate to this problem.
so my Evolution worked fine. I was able to send and receive messages. THen I switched my ISP from a local provider to Comcast. I did nothing to Evolution and now it won't send my emails. I still receive stuff fine. I am using GMail's SMTP server.
Karmic 9.10 Evolution 2.28.1 smtp.gmail.com
I don't see anyplace to include the port number like I could in Thunderbird so I have no idea what port I am using but the thing that is curious is that it doesn't work on Comcast when it did on both my local provider and Sprint's mobile broadband.
