May 7, 2010I am not 100% happy with empathy like I was with Pidgin. I am, however very happy with the indicator applet that sits next to the clock. My question is, how do I go about setting this system so that instead of 'chat' loading Empathy, it recognises that as Pidgin instead?

General :: Pidgin Installation Via Terminal - Packages Have Unmet Dependencies: Pidgin: Depends: Libpurple0
May 1, 2010I 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
Debian Multimedia :: Pidgin: Symbol Lookup Error: Pidgin: Undefined Symbol: Purple_media_element_info_get_type
Aug 1, 2010Previously 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 1 Replies View RelatedNetworking :: Connecting Debian Client To Voyager Client Via Crossover Cable?
Jan 6, 2011trying to create a "local network" by directly connecting an IBM Thinkpad with Debian Linux installed on it to an Alix computer running Voyager Linux. I'm following a "how to" I found to create a music server, hence the requirement. My issue is I can't get a static IP address to be configured on the Debian machine.I've trawled the net and have found the instructions about editing the /etc/network/interfaces and have tried to do this. First I tried to get DHCP working so I could connect the Debian machine to the net and this proved successful. I edited the interfaces file to look as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Then I tried adding a static IP address to the machine. As this is a network purely between two machines I made up the IP addres and used 192.168.0.1 and used a NetMask calculator to give me a NetMask of 255.255.255.254 (I told the calculator there would be 2 machines on the network). I then edited the interfaces file as follows:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
[code]....
I re-booted the machine (ifdown eth0 followed by ifup eth0 keeps saying that eth0 hasn't been configured - a problem there that I don't understand), but during boot up time it failed to assign the Static IP address to eth0 and made me go into SU mode. To fix it I simply replaced the interface file with the static IP inputs with the file that had the DHCP entries (I'd made a copy of the DHCP file), and re-started the machine. Everthing came up fine. So the first question is how do I get a static IP address to be assigned to eth0 such that whenever I shut down and restart the machine the static IP address is always loaded?
The second question is around creating the network via the cross over cable. From what I've found via Google, all I should have to do is create a static IP address on the Debian machine and a static IP address on the Voyager machine. Once they're connected by the cross over cable they should see each other. Is that correct, or do I have to do anything else?
Programming :: Detect A Closed Tcp Client Connection When Client Is Only Receiving Data ?
Mar 9, 2011I am writing a TCP server in C, and the server listens to incoming client connections and accepts them. It then creates a thread to handle the client. The clients are expected to only receive data from my server and not send any data. So if I use a select() call with a recv(), I believe that the recv() will just block forever since there will not be any data coming from the client. If I use a non-blocking recv(), then this will just return a 0 which tells me nothing because the client is not expected to send any data. I am not sure if I have misunderstood some socket concepts, but I need a solution to detect when the client has disconnected so that I can close the socket and stop sending data to the client. As I understand it, simple ACKs etc are not captured by the recv(), and only data sent by the client will cause recv() to return a non-zero value, so I am not sure how to know when the client has disconnected.

(please make it an idiot proof anwser because i have limited knowledge about iptables). I was thinking like forwarding (the router in the network with the openvpn client is also firewalling with iptables) the request of the ip class of the openvpn network to the computer with the client,which masquarades the interface
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Pidgin - Add Buddies Through CLI?
Apr 21, 2011I recently began at a new company that uses google apps for domains. The problem is, there are nearly 150 employees and no centralized address book to speak of. I managed to get a list of legal names and email addresses out of the HR department, but I'd like to build my google address book as well as my pidgin buddy list.Pidgin buddy lists are in the format code...
I've tried to simply edit blist.xml, but the act of actually ADDING a buddy does more than simply stick them into your list, it actually performs a server action to do mutual authentication and stuff. So my question is: Is there a way I can run a script that will "add" all these people onto my buddy list without me having to type each email address and full name by hand?
Ubuntu :: Getting A SIP Plugin For Pidgin?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Add A Buddy In Pidgin
Mar 18, 2010There seems to have been a change in how you add buddies in Pidgin, since I last used Pidgin in Ubuntu. When I open the add buddy window in Pidgin I get the image attached. It allows me to "search" Personal or Ubuntu One from the drop down list, but nothing is ever populated in the main text area. Similarly, when I select a group from the drop down list in the lower right corner, it never selects it. Also when I click "New Person" it simply closes the window without ever adding a new buddy to my buddy list.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Using Crontab To Restart Pidgin?
May 23, 2010Pidgin likes to randomly crash on me, and sometimes it takes me awhile to notice. So I thought why not make a script and cron job to see if pidgin is running and restart it if needed. Sounded easy but having all kinds of problems. Here's my cron line...
Code:
*/1 * * * * /home/justin/chkpdgn.sh >> /home/justin/test.log 2>&1
I run "tail -f /home/justin/test.log" to keep an eye on the cron output.
Here's the chkpdgn.sh script...
Code:
#!/bin/bash
SERVICE='pidgin'
if ps ax | grep -v grep | grep $SERVICE > /dev/null
then
echo "$SERVICE service running, everything is fine"
else
echo "$SERVICE is not running"
$SERVICE
fi
Running that works fine when I do it, but when cron does it pidgin never starts and I get this error...
Code:
pidgin is not running
error: line 15: bad flag alias index: 0
error: line 15: bad flag vector alias
error: line 16: bad flag alias index: 0
error: line 16: bad flag vector alias
That goes on for quite awhile up to like line 60000 and pidgin runs but doesn't show up in the me menu. Any way to restart pidgin when it crashes?
Ubuntu :: More Capabilities With Taskbar For Pidgin?
May 30, 2010Take a look at the picture. 1 refers to the mail icon, which has pidgin in it (I couldn't screenshot while open for some reason), and 2 refers to the icon that can be clicked which has the capabilities to set "available, away, invisible, etc" and that type of thing. Problem is, I no longer use empathy, I use pidgin instant messenger. Can I use the #2 icon referred to in the picture to control my status for pidgin?
