Can not send or recieve Message using LinuxMint

[geniuswithaces]

After removing the version in the repository (was older version) i downloaded the Current version, installed the dependencies required and Old yahoo worked (before it was pulled), Gmail Works, Face-book Works as well as AOL.

I Installed the new Yahoo(2016) it showed in the drop down list, But i can not Send or Receive any Yahoo Messages.

Using the Web-mail app in Linux I can send and receive, Using the New Yahoo app i can send receive in Windows and OSX

Please run

which pidgin

That's a command. You write that in a terminal.

EDIT: please post the output of the command above after running it

I'm still suspect of the 'Yahoo (2016)' being right at the top of the list there, that it's being loaded from ~/.purple/plugins

Pidgin 2.11.0 For Linux.. i downloaded and compiled it. it works with AOL. Facebook, Google... But NOT the New Yahoo.

Why do you think being at the top of the list matters?

I just checked what you were saying about the order..... found a older version located in /home/harvey/.purple/plugins i deleted it and the new File says its loaded... Great catch.

obviously it looks to load from /home/harvey/.purple/plugins (home folder first)

harvey@harvey-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC ~ $ pkg-config --variable=plugindir purple /usr/local/lib/purple-2 harvey@harvey-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC ~ $ which pidgin /usr/local/bin/pidgin harvey@harvey-HP-Pavilion-dv7-Notebook-PC ~ $

Hopefully that was the issue.... I will test and see what happens.

Neat. @EionRobb wins this round.

lol.. it wasnt a fight. but here is a explanation why it did not show up when i searched for it.. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/21778/whats-so-special-about-directories-whose-names-begin-with-a-dot I will be testing to see if i can see why some things dont get to its destination. perhaps its from the removal of past conversation as was mentioned earlier.. if that is the case, is there a way to clear them without causing other issues?

[geniuswithaces]

fyi.. i do get this.... Server error: "Client skipped ahead (frame.seq=2, numResent=-1, numAcked=1, clientSeq=1)". If this keeps happening, report a bug. Try to include the debug window messages before the error happens.

i also get.... Upstream unavailable

I think its from timing out

Should i Close this and open a Different Ticket?

purple-debug.log.tar.gz

I am thinking it may be related to yahoo security options about allowing 3rd party apps.

Perhaps some kind of Keep alive is needed or some way to handle when computer goes into Power Saving / Energy Conservations Mode ?

Server error: "Client skipped ahead (frame.seq=2, numResent=-1, numAcked=1, clientSeq=1)".

Fixed in b1440a0610cabe9271ebc9f9649d3af534443e5d

Upstream unavailable

That's server downtime.

Great Job Guys !!! I have been using it and only have occasional glitches witch i think are from the yahoo server side. I do have one other question..... I know that Pidgin and Adium are "related" because they both use lib-purple. I believe Adium uses Cocoa, would you happen to have a script i can use to compile it to use in Adium on OSX? http://forums.cocoaforge.com/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26858&p=139627&hilit=pidgin#p139627

[dequis]

Adium uses libpurple in a weird way that requires plugins to have some sort of wrapper that someone has to write. I don't really understand it and don't have a mac to help with that, so all we can do is wait for someone to contribute that wrapper.

Also, glad to hear things are better now! Closing this as fixed then.
