Desktop sharing options not appearing w. pidgin-sipe 1.23 #166

Closed wizzor closed 5 years ago

wizzor commented 6 years ago

On Ubuntu 16.04 options regarding desktop sharing do not appear with pidgin-sipe 1.23.0 (from repository or locally compiled from source).

Please advice, do I need extra software installed?

xhaakon commented 6 years ago

I've just tried installing pidgin-sipe in 16.04 and desktop sharing options appear as expected.

What is the exact version of the package you're trying to install and from which source? Please note that for you to be able to present your desktop, you should be installing from ppa:sipe-collab. There's no such feature in distribution packages yet.

wizzor commented 6 years ago

Correction, had 17.04, installation from sipe-collab repository, versions: sipe 1.23.0 and pidgin 3.0.0 (see below).

Tried PPA Sipe on a fresh 17.04 installation and I still can see 'Share my desktop' when I right-click a buddy or while in a conference.

Could you please post the complete list of relevant packages you have? :

dpkg --list | grep -e sipe -e pidgin -e farstream -e remmina -e nice -e freerdp
hesparza commented 6 years ago

Same issue in Fedora 27, using xfce.

I thought this was because of the version of the plugin (I installed from the default repos) so I got the code, compiled and installed it but still got the same result.

I have been looking for information on this regard and still cannot find an answer.

Jellyfrog commented 6 years ago

Same here!

Opensuse Tumbleweed Pidgin 2.12.0 (libpurple 2.12.0) Sipe 1.23.2

muratg commented 6 years ago

Same issue here.

@xhaakon, perhaps this helps:

git:(master) pacman -Q  |  grep -e sipe -e pidgin -e farstream -e remmina -e nice -e freerdp
farstream 0.2.8-1
freerdp 1:2.0.0_rc1-2

pidgin-sipe 1.23.2-1
remmina 1:1.2.0rcgit.27-1
mbrand commented 6 years ago

Same issue on my side. I also noticed that the "remote desktop client" configuration is a freetext input, while i often read that it should be a dropdown. 

pacman -Q  |  grep -e sipe -e pidgin -e farstream -e remmina -e nice -e freerdp
farstream 0.2.8-1

pidgin-sipe 1.23.2-1

xambroz commented 6 years ago

@hesparza on Fedora 27 you need also package purple-sipe and remmina-plugins-rdp.

dnf -y install pidgin pidgin-sipe purple-sipe remmina remmina-plugins-rdp

Also it is recommended to install openh264 from fedora-cisco repository and to recompile the freerdp package with the parameters --with=ffmpeg --with=openh264 to enable the codec which from legal/political reasons might not be there in the public free repository of Fedora:

dnf -y config-manager --set-enabled fedora-cisco-openh264
dnf -y install openhpi openh264 openh264-devel mozilla-openh264 gstreamer1-plugin-openh264

# Rebuild latest freerdp package from src.rpm
# Go to the Fedora build for freerdp - https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=11176
# Take the last package successfully built - for example https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1067383
# Download the src.rpm - for example https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/freerdp/2.0.0/41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27/src/freerdp-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.src.rpm
# Rebuild with the x264 enabled

rpmbuild --rebuild freerdp-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.src.rpm --with=ffmpeg --with=openh264
hesparza commented 6 years ago

It took me some time to figure out the different errors I was getting first while trying to use the fedora-cisco-penh254 repo and then during compilation but after it compiled correctly it indeed works!

Thank you very much @xambroz!! your help is well appreciated.

I'm placing here the dependencies I had to install in order to be able to compile:

When running: dnf -v -y install openhpi openh264 openh264-devel mozilla-openh264 gstreamer1-plugin-openh264

it was failing for me, so I had to run:

sudo dnf --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=updates update --refresh
sudo dnf update
dnf -y install openhpi openh264 openh264-devel mozilla-openh264 gstreamer1-plugin-openh264

I got the first 2 from here from @Abed 's comment on 2018-05-01 12:03:14 EDT.

After that I install several dependencies in the following order (of course you can compress all of them to maybe one or two install instructions):

Note: notice how I had to also remove the freerdp and libwinpr I had already installed.

dnf -y install openhpi openh264 openh264-devel mozilla-openh264 gstreamer1-plugin-openh264
dnf install rpmdevtools
dnf install alsa-lib-devel.x86_64 cups-devel.x86_64 gsm-devel.x86_64 libXdamage-devel.x86_64 libXinerama-devel.x86_64 libXrandr-devel.x86_64 libXv-devel.x86_64 libjpeg-turbo-devel.x86_64 libxkbfile-devel.x86_64 pam-devel.x86_64 xmlto.x86_64

dnf install mock
dnf install libXfixes-devel.x86_64 libXfixes.x86_64
dnf install libXcursor-devel.x86_64 libXcursor.i686
dnf install libXi.x86_64 libXi-devel.x86_64
dnf remove freerdp-server.x86_64 freerdp.x86_64
dnf install freerdp-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-server-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm
dnf remove freerdp-libs.x86_64
dnf remove freerdp-libs.x86_64 libwinpr

At this point I was able to compile successfully. And then I run the following to install all the compiled rpms:

dnf install freerdp-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-debuginfo-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-debugsource-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-devel-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-libs-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-libs-debuginfo-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-server-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm freerdp-server-debuginfo-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm libwinpr-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm libwinpr-debuginfo-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm libwinpr-devel-2.0.0-41.20180405gita9ecd6a.fc27.x86_64.rpm
dnf -y install pidgin pidgin-sipe purple-sipe remmina remmina-plugins-rdp

Done.

FloThinksPi commented 6 years ago

@mbrand yes, also on my system under accounts -> your account -> Edit account -> advanced There is this field as freetext which was a dropdown according to other threads(https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=24347) describing this field: image I set it to "Remmina" as well as "xfreerdp" but no change whatsoever. The share screen option is still missing in dropdowns and menus. I suspect the config not beeing read corrctly somewhere .

Fedora users: this repo is not what you have. Fedora ships upstream. The local sharing option was removed from upstream a while ago and has not been put back in. It's best if you ask upstream about it.

On my machine, I have the field for Remote desktop client empty, and it used Remmina to view a shared desktop. If there is an option for me to share mine, I don't see that, though.

Been plagued by this problem as well, it was possible to join sessions (the pidgin-sipe would launch remmina for that), but not initiating them. After rebuilding the plugin with the freerdp2 dev package installed, I can now also initiate sessions.

Here's the Debian bug I filed for that: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=915406

mooninite commented 5 years ago

Upstream recently turned client-side sharing support back on so you can initiate sharing instead of viewing only.

can confirm this. This should be closed as it was anyway a fedora ustream issue and is now fixed.
