Both use libpurple, so I guess it depends on where the lockup is occurring. FWIW, I'm using pidgin with F17 / XFCE and have seen no lockups from it. <snip> -----Original Message----- Did you had a look at Jitsi?

Disconnect
by Patrick Dupre 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hello, The NetworkNamager provides a disconnect option. I undertand that it can be manager through /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d However, when I disconnect the ppp0 connection, ppp0 is already down (due to the disconnect) and prevents me to collect information through ifconfig. How can I avoid this problem. I wish to collect information of the ppp0 just before it is turned off. Thank for your help. Regards. -- ====================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre(a)kegtux.org ======================================================================

Multi-protocol IM clients
by John Aldrich 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

So, I've decided to jump back onto IM after a few years. My last Linux-based IM client was AYTTM, but I'm not even sure it's still packaged with Fedora, although I suppose I could "roll my own" so to speak. :D I'd prefer to use a pre-packaged IM client. I've tried Pidgin, but I'm having a problem where if I change my status to "away" it freezes out the keyboard and won't let me type anything until I close Pidgin and start it back up. I currently use LXDE and KDE. Anyone got a suggestion for a good multi-protocol IM client? I used to use Trillian on the Windows side of things, but I try to stay away from Windows as much as possible. :D Thanks!

working wireless card (TL-WN881ND)
by Ian Malone 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi, Just posting this as a data point, since I've found it hard in the past to find out what wireless hardware is going to work or not (difficulty in finding out card chipsets, checking support for the chipset etc.), particularly for PCI cards. I've replaced my PCI EDI Max EW-7122 (ralink rt2500 chipset) with a new PCIe wireless card: TP-Link TL-WN881ND (Atheros AR9287 chipset). Back when I got it the rt2500 was one of the best supported wireless chipsets, but the card was beginning to show its age[1]. The new card is a 802.11n-compatible with two aerials, though my AP is still 11g, so I'm still limited to 54Mbs max. I haven't seen much difference in raw signal or reported link quality, but the link stability and through-put under Fedora 16 seem to be much better than previously. http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/TP-LINK_TL-WN881ND [1] I think there are a number of factors: where I am now I get poorer signal, obviously bandwidth demands have gone up over the years, maybe there's some hardware degradation and finally, though the team supporting the kernel driver have made a great effort the driver pre-dated the newer wireless stack and never seems to have been quite right since. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

correct way to start gpg-agent
by Maurizio Marini 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello there i have claws-mail with smime and gpg I followed this link to configure http://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/S/MIME_howto my question is: is still the best practice to use what suggested here: [code] KDE Users KDE has a way to run scripts and thus export environment variables at startup time. Every application running in this session will get access to these variables. All you have to do is create a file under the directory ~/.kde/env/ (if it doesn't exist, then create it). I named it gpgagent.sh, the content of this shell script is quite trivial (don't forget to chmod +x): #!/bin/sh eval `gpg-agent --daemon` [/code] or, with f17, something different should be configured? br m.

Umlaut 'ü' not displayed correctly in Firefox/Chrome
by Felix Schwarz 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi, I'm on Fedora 17, using a German locale. Since today's yum update the German umlaut 'ü' is not displayed for some sans-serif fonts on some web pages anymore. Interestingly enough that's purely a display issue and both Firefox and Chrome are affected. The yum updated updated two fonts (lohit-kannada-fonts, wqy-zenhei-fonts) which I manually uninstalled but to no avail. Interestingly the problem seems related to HTML headlines (<h3>, <h2>, ...) but not regular text. I saw the issue on multiple sites How can I debug that issue? Anyone else with a similar problem? fs

Web Cam......
by EGO-II.1 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

I'm currently using a Gateway T-6321 Laptop with a web-cam built into it's lid / screen area. I have Cheese installed.....along with Pidgin. I am wondering what I need to do or install or enable in order to get my web-cam to actually work with my Pidgin? Or are they just separate entities?...I can see myself on the web-cam when I start it up, but there are no features or "Options" in it's menu that say anything like "Enable Web-Video Chat"...or anything along those lines.....anyone have any clues?...I'm stumped! Thanks! EGO II

Fedora 17 - Postfix

Hello, Why `postfix´ isn't not included in the Fedora 17 Official DVD? And why `sendmail´ comes now as the default mta agent?

How to run e2fsck on partitions of internal disks?
by Zoltan Boszormenyi 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi, I am using Fedora 17 and recently I got two Oopses: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852724 I suspect there *may* be some on-disk corruption but I can't seem to be able to run e2fsck on my /home which is 3.6TB in size. I booted into single mode and ran "umount /home" but e2fsck on my home partition still reports "resource is busy". lsof doesn't tell me what's using the partition. How can I run fsck on /home or maybe on / for that matter? I guess booting the Fedora 17 DVD in rescue mode can be used. But how to do it without it? I have used yum to upgrade from F16 (and F14 before) and don't have the DVD at hand. Thanks in advance, Zoltán Böszörményi

Error in update via yumex, F16
by Joe Zeff 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Every morning I have yumex update my system while I'm cooking breakfast. Today, it failed with this error: 11:28:59 : YUM: error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h# 16675 Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID a82ba4b7: BAD 11:32:02 : YUM: Transaction couldn't start: 11:32:02 : YUM: /usr/sbin/useradd is needed by nscd-2.14.90-24.fc16.9.i686 Checking, /usr/sbin/useradd exists and has the proper permissions: [joe@khorlia Desktop]$ ls -l /usr/sbin/useradd -rwxr-x---. 1 root root 101168 Feb 13 2012 /usr/sbin/useradd I tried running the transaction again, with nscd unchecked, but it was re-added as a dependency. I let it go to see what would happen and so far, at least, it seems to be running OK. Has anybody else seen this, or know why it happened?
