 MEPIS 8.0 Community Repo: The Pidgin ThreadUpdate 13 Dec. 2011: Pidgin 2.6.10.1 is now available for use form the main test repo.
Changes in the new release are documented here: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ChangeLog Please let us know how it's working. Thanks! Update 26 June 2011: Pidgin 2.9.0 is now in the main community repository, due to a DOS attack that was fixed in it. However, due to an added epoch in the getdeb version that slipped by me, the 1:2.8.0 in the testing repo is still seen as the most recent version. A simple fix is to disable the testing repo, reload Synaptic, uninstall all the parts of pidgin 2.8.0 (pidgin, pidgin-data, finch, libpurple0, libpurple-bin) and install pidgin 2.9.0. We'll have to purge 2.8.0 from testing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had sworn we already had a 8.0 thread, but can't find it... Anyway, we now have Pidgin 2.8.0 in the main test repository. The audio and video features had to be disabled due to the gstreamer libraries in Lenny being a bit too old. Please let us know how this is working if you give it a spin--Thanks!

Re: MEPIS 8.0 Community Repo: The Pidgin Thread Hello,
I'm a Mepis noob (heh, not again  ) and have a problem running Pidgin so I'd like to ask you how do I work around this error and make Pidgin run?
If this isn't the proper place to ask this question please, forgive a noob and transfer it some place else. Thanks!  |

Re: MEPIS 8.0 Community Repo: The Pidgin Thread Install gnome-media, then run gstreamer-properties in a terminal as your normal user (once only).
This will configure gstreamer to avoid the problem. _________________ XFX Nforce 750 (built in GeForce 8300), Athlon X2 5000 Lenovo G550 , Intel T4400 , Intel Mobile 4 graphics |

Re: MEPIS 8.0 Community Repo: The Pidgin Thread
2.6.10 is working fine here, and (unlike Kopete and KMess) gets round the SSL login errors for MSN about which hundreds of Google posts and questions are asked. _________________ Dell Inspiron 640m, WinXP, Linux Mint, Mepis 8.5 |
