I'm currently using Pidgin 2.6.2 on Karmic. Status changes work fine if I change it in Pidgin, but if I use the user switching applet to change my status is consistently disconnects my connection to Windows Live (but not AIM or GTalk), claiming that I have "signed on from another location". A quick Google and forums search turned up nothing.

I have just upgraded to Lucid on Ubuntu. I am a long time Pidgin user. I tried using Empathy with Gwibber, but I can't get Gwibber to update my IM status(es) in Empathy, so I want to go back to using Pidgin. (Additionally, I can't get Skype to work with Empathy.)I installed pidgin-microblog and pidgin-mbpurple, and they allow me to view my Twitter feed in Pidgin and update my Twitter status in Pidgin. However, in Karmic, I was also able to specify certain "status availabilities" (one named "Twitter-Available" and one named "Twitter-Away", for instance) to have the IM status message for these statuses become populated with my Twitter feed. This capability seems missing in pidgin-mbpurple in Lucid (and it seems to be the only thing missing from Karmic).
Is there a way to have pidgin-mbpurple update certain "status availabilities" in Lucid (and I'm just missing something) or is this no longer possible?Equivalently, is it possible to have Gwibber update my status message in Empathy? (I just want to be able to update my status once on one of my three computers - and have it propagate to all my other accounts (IM and social networking) and computers).
I want the guification (or similar mechanism) which, when a user updates his/her status message gives me a notification of that. How do I get this?

However, the connection never survives more than 8 seconds, when it goes disconnected with the message "Route monitor alarm". From my recent search for a solution I've found that this error is caused by a change in a route table, which violates a connection policy.
"This disconnect is typically triggered by a change in the routing table of the client machine, the change is such that the split tunnel policies defined by the administrator will be violated" - from [URL]
This is how a routing table looks before, during and after the connection attempt:

I use Pidgin for Gadu-Gadu protocol. I use it almost entirely to communicate with polish people. Each time I open new tab i need to manually change to "polish" from the context menu.
Is there a way to change the default spell check language without changing the environment language? I don't mind if it is some dirty hack or requires recompiling but since I'm not the only one trying to do that some simple tweak solution would be nice.
The default chat client in Ubuntu 10.04, Empathy, doesn't seem to have any affect in what my actual gmail status displays - I can change the status to be available, busy, or away, and change the custom message to be absolutely anything, but when I log into my Gmail account the status isn't changed whatsoever like it would have it I was using Google Talk in Windows. Also, in the notifications area in the top right, the "Me Menu's" available and busy icons don't have any affect either. If I click the available, busy, or away icon in Empathy or the Me Menu, the respective other will change to be the same, so something's happening, but not on my Gmail account.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWith a Netbook that runs Kubuntu 10.04 i have always stored by regular files on a SD card. For ease I have used symbolic links to save and retrive data from the card such as a Documents folder. After a power crash my SD card which has always been read/write has changed to read only. The links do not work and if I try to make a new link "Read-only file system" is the error.
I have tried chmod with the same error message. Device is owned by me not root. Saving to the device also returns the same error message.
I have looked at a couple of similar streams but neither has any final resolution.
changing the SD card back to read/write?
I have a 2U Rackable Systems server and I'm the engineer in charge of setting up the images for 3 of them for various tasks. The previous engineer was able to change the LCD display on the front of the server to read as the hostname and IP address which was very useful I can't find the script that he used to do it.
How is it possible to change the LCD status screen on the front of the server?
After I upgraded from KDE 4.5 to KDE 4.6 I ran into a problem with changing the the status of different repoes from enabled to disabled, and vice versa. As I only did a desktop upgrade it is perhaps just a coincidence and hence the problem may be related to something different. But in any case, if I tick or untick the 'enable' or 'disable' option within the Yast module Software Repositories for the repo I wish to activate or deactivate, nothing happens. Deleting and readding the repoes has no effect, neither has rebuilding the rpm db or zypper refresh. I'm not very familiar with the command-line for these operations so I am grateful if anyone could give me a hint on what to try next.

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.
After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 I uninstalled empathy (im using skype). The empathy menu in the evolution indicator was gone after that.I also uninstalled gwibber. But the gwibber status indicator remains within the about-me panel... Uninstalling the gwibber package also removes the me-menu which I want to keep actually. Especially the shutdown/restart... part of it. See attachment.I know there is a shutdown panel-app...but its butt-ugly and it doesnt allow to logon/off.
In another thread I read that the gwibber status shouldnt be there if no account for it is configured... which it is not... I do use ubuntu-one though which is in the same menu... I saw that this issue was addressed at some bug report before, but not fixed yet...
Does anybody know a good workaround to get rid of the gwibber status in the panel while keeping the about me and the shutdown button?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've seen a problem staying connected to a Cisco VPN, this goes back a number of years.I was running 8.10 and it was fine.After I moved to 9.10, the problem started happening.My VPN connection to work would drop after 8 hours.I looked around for a while and ended up compiling the cisco provided client which works fine (but is a pain).I've been running 9.10 on my work laptop, and it experiences the same problem using vpnc, but I've been dealing with it because it's easier than using the Cisco client.
I installed 10.04 on my work desktop, my home desktop, and a personal laptop that was previously running 8.10, and all experience the same problem with vpnc.I even go so far as to keep one terminal open with a constant ping all day and it still drops after about 8 hours. A couple of others at work experience the same problem using vpnc. This is not a problem using the Cisco provided client, or running it on windows or os/x.Has anybody else seen this, or have any ideas on what I can start looking for to get this addressed?

(I use Ubuntu Karmic x_64)
My bluetooth devices disconnect after a period of inactivity (not sure exactly how long). They're being connected with:
sudo hidd --connect
And I've made no edits to any bluetooth related system files so it should be default settings throughout. I would like them to stay connected indefinitely and it would be even better if they would stay connected through reboots.
I've posted about this previously, but I am unable to find that post...
I have a separate partition: 'files'.
This has the mount point of: '/files'.
My /home/johnathan folder is a symbolic link to:
/files/installed/backup/johnathan
So when this particular mount point '/files' is not available I get errors stating ICEAuthority and that /Desktop and /.nautilus can not be created.
If I log in as root, I can not mount the drive using System > Administration > Disk Utility
I get the error that '/files' can not be mounted because it is un use.
Sometimes, if I wait a while while logged in a root it will 'magically' mount and work again... then I can login as my profile.
I love Ubuntu that it keeps all of your settings and program settings within the profile. So, if I have to reformat or reinstall Ubuntu I simply recreate the symbolic link to /files/installed/backup/johnathan and all of my settings are back. All that is left is to reinstall my apps and I am back to where I was before reinstalling.
So, how can I correct this? I do have two other partitions that have mount points, but they do NOT do this like '/files' does.
I've even replaced the UUID in '/etc/fstab' with the path tot he partition: '/dev/sda2'. This also didn't work.
My internet disconnect mabe every second hour and I have to restart the Ubuntu to get internet again. This started to happen when I bought a new wireless card called NETGEAR WG311v3. The live CD didnt have the drivers for it so I had to download XP drivers and install it with ndisrwapper.
So my question is how do I fix it? Do other network drivers crash with my current one? If so how can I see wish one to remove?
Note that my card works fine with XP on same computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGot a problem when I try to stream stuff off the net, such as watching ....., or listening to music clips.Basically, the internet just simply disconnects after a few seconds, or a minute at most after starting to stream - although it appears to be connected in the wireless icon thingymigig in the top right taskbar, eventually that goes though and says I'm disconnected.
While browsing normally, and using the net normally with messenger and looking throughwebsites,uploading/downloading via ftp, with no videos or music streaming, the net stays on - no problems.If I try to stream stuff from another computer running windoze 7, then these problems dont occur, the net doesn't disconnect and can stream till the end of time (or so it seems).Why does this happen just on the Linux machine?
I have loaded ubuntu Lynx 10.04.1 as a dual boot behind XP home. I have wireless connection to the XP os via netgear wireless G router and USB 2.0 adapter. The network connection works well with the XP side. When I boot into ubuntu I am sure I have configured the network properly with the wep key and password and the network signal is alive in the work bar at the top of the screen. When I open Firefox and try to browse to ,say, ebay it asks for the passphrase again then tells me that FF is in work offline mode. When I correct this I get asked for the pass phrase again and the connection is disengaged. It just keeps asking for the passphrase and disconnecting. When I reboot into XP everything works perfectly again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use an analog modem and wifi to access the internet. I am using Ubuntu LTS 8.04 on a laptop and have an analog modem connected via USB serial cable. The dialup feature and the modem work flawlessly. I am testing LTS 10.04.1 on a live USB drive that I purchased preinstalled from On-Disk. On the live USB drive, I am able to get a dialup connection with my ISP long enough to pull up a web page with the browser. However, the analog modem disconnects within minutes with exit codes 16 or 17.
Man pppd:
16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up.
17 The PPP negotiation failed because serial loopback was detected.
My questions are, how to do I track down the dialup setting(s), or file configuration(s) that is causing the disconnects? Is the problem likely due to a poorly worded AT modem command? I want to get this problem resolved before I proceed with upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04.1.
I am on a toshiba laptop with a wireless internet connection, I have recently purchased a logitech pro 9000 webcam , I plan on using it for skype. So the wifi is working fine, I plug in the usb webcam and all of the sudden I just lose connection and my keyring doesn't even remember the wep key for my wifi. I am amateur with linux based system but I have taken a operation system class so I know some stuff and can follow instructions quite well.
