Pidgin 2.6.6 for Puppy 4.3+

[Wolf Pup]

Is this the same pet as announced by ttuuxxx?

Nope, this is for puppy3.

[Béèm]

Have I been lucky then when installing the 2.5.0 in Dingo?
It did work.

2.5.1 has no locale files.
I added those from 2.4.3, what seems to work.
Now I have a german pidgin.

*edit*
Also the locale package from ttuuxx's pidgin 2.5.1 works:

Yes Beem Just that the one I made has more things in it, I compiled 2.5.1 on 4.0. This Pidgin is great if you want just pidgin with spell check, Which most puppy users want!!
But if you want SSL + Gstreamer for working Msn Messenger and other I.M applications then use my version.
I personally Just use this version because I only need Pidgin. But others like msn so they have an option now

ps Here's a link to my version.

Great job Wolf pup

Pidgin updated to 2.5.2

[jcoder24]

These extra libs taken from ttuuxx's 2.5.1 pidgin package enables msn for wolfpup's package.

[Béèm]

The extra libs didn't work for me.
Have libtcl8.5.so.0 and libtk8.5.so missing.
They aren't in ttuuxxx's nice library list.
(running 4.10 normal)
And still no connection with msn.

Bernard, install the attached pet.
It includes:
/root/.purple/certificates/x509/tls_peers/rsi.hotmail.com

The problem is described here:
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6680

So I did this:

In Pidgin, add the attached certificate (Tools menu). I got the certificate by opening https://rsi.hotmail.com/ in Firefox and exporting the certificate. Surely there are better ways to solve this problem but hey.. Offline messages are working for MSN!

Firefox said, that it is an invalid certificate, and I had to confirm, that I want to accept it.
Then I could export it in the site info dialog.

Thank you Mark,

I don't have the error on SSL being needed anymore.
But now I have
Windows Live ID
authentication: Unable to connect.

I verified the account setting with the pidgin one in Windows and they are the same.

Could there be a change with msn?

Thank you Wolf Pup for the best version of Pidgin yet! Much appreciated!

Is there a version of 2.6.4 available for Puppy 4.2.1? Just curious. Reading around the Pidgin support list, you'd almost think MSN wouldn't work unless you did upgrade to 2.6.4. But it still works in the 2.5.x version I'm using.

I'm also wondering if Puppy 4.3 and 4.2 won't require any GTK upgrades, as a result of the planned changes for Pidgin 2.7.0 (see this blog post for more details: http://theflamingbanker.blogspot.com/20 ... -ends.html)

im curious why the plugins of skype and facebook dont work with this version of pidgin.
i tried installing in ~/.pidgin/plugins or /usr/lib/purple-2/ but it still doesnt get loaded...am i doing smth wrong?

What did they do to Yahoo IM so that Pidgin and Gaim can'i logon? Is there a version of the chat apps that works with Yahoo IM?

Thanks

Yahoo updated/changed their security policies, as I recall, so older versions of Pidgin (and Gaim) won't be able to connect. You need at least version 2.5.7 of Pidgin to be able to connect to Yahoo, though there were some hiccups they resolved in versions after that.

If you're using Puppy 4.3.x, use the setup you can find in the first post of this thread. Otherwise, you can find a .pet installer for v2.6.1 at http://www.killerhippy.de/pet.shtml - it's near the bottom of the page.

You could supposedly also get around the problem by changing the pager server for Yahoo in the advanced account options, but that's not really recommended (and I don't remember what you'd change it to, sorry.), and not guaranteed to work.

Thanks, I tried Pidgin 258 but it won't start on my 3.01 Retro box. There was a msg from the installer that i'm missing some "purple" library. I would like to fix this or find an app that will hook me up to Yahoo IM. Thanks, again.
