Pidgin 2.3 vs Gutsy

[iMav]

it works no more and im not the only 1 having problems

*ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=624551&page=2

and no solution found yet .... the problem -

update and when u try to run nothing happens so when u run it thru terminal this is what i get:

pidgin: symbol lookup error: pidgin: undefined symbol: purple_account_get_current_error

 

[kalpik]

Did you do sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin ?

Also just add this repo: "deb *www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu gutsy main" to you /etc/apt/sources.list

And import the key: "wget *www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu/937215FF.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -"

This repo contains latest versions of Rhythmbox and Pidgin.. It should have Pidgin 2.3 in a day or two..

 

[iMav]

i downloaded the tar.bz2 file and made a make file using ./configure and then ran it and this is what happened

no pidgin anymore

and im kinda lost as to what u said i got that u want me to add the repo in the sources.list file but the importing key part i did not understand

and adding the repo in sources.list gives me this error when i reload synaptic:

W: GPG error: *www.telemail.fi gutsy Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D0AFFF5E937215FF

You never understand anything. Just run the command!

 

[kalpik]

Just run the command "wget *www.telemail.fi/mlind/ubuntu/937215FF.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -" to add the key.. then sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade..

Though the latest version on the repo is 2.2.2.

Is he asking for help or asking for trouble?

just run the commands @kalpik mentioned. Firstly, there is no official package of pidgin for ubuntu. Secondly version 2.0.0 seems to work fine for me.

 

[iMav]

pidgin 2.3 was released some time back their site has a big image saying 2.3

arre import aur run mein kitna farak hai yaar ... confuse kyon karte ho mereko - run bolo ya import bolo

Just copy paste the line in terminal Kalpik has given. The Key is like a certificate saying the contents in that repo are safe.

I know that @Imav, like I said, they dont' have a package for ubuntu. I don't think they even have a debian based file of the 2.3 version. I could be wrong though

 

[iMav]

^^ ya no debian file so i dwnldd the source and thought well hey i can compile it only to find out that i had to come back here

grudgy idhar kya kar raha hai ... no 1 is fighting here ek thread lock kar k aaram nahi mila kya

u are a genius .... i updated though it took a lot of time coz i added a few more security updates .... but the best part i got pidgin 2.3 waah waah ... too good man too good

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ are you sure its 2.3? I just updated and its still 2.2.2

[praka123]

afaik there is a site which gives direct download of latest ubuntu software including pidgin.forgot it no repos for that site.direct downloads!
edit:sry,pidgin is not there
*getdeb.net

 

[cool_techie_tvm]

According to synaptic manager, the latest version of pidgin is 2.2.1 How can i update it to 2.3 ?

Edit : I did as given by kalpik

 

[Cyrus_the_virus]

Can someone tell me, how do I get the same for feisty?

 

[Faun]

iMav, am amazed that you tried compiling a package.

Gradually u r getting hang of open source

 

[Cyrus_the_virus]

Can someone tell me, how do I get the same for feisty?

Anyone?

 

[ray|raven]

If you cant find a package,compile it urself.
its not that hard.
grab the source from here : *downloads.sourceforge.net/pidgin/pidgin-2.3.0.tar.bz2

ray

Now this is strange. It really is! I'm using the same repos as given by Kalpik and the latest version there is 2.2.2!

@iMav
The fonts look a bit screwed up. Why don't you try tweakin them a bit?
