I always get an error window and several error messages. I'm using the fedora 31 version, but also compiled the same version from source, with no difference: $pidgin --version Pidgin 2.13.0-15.fc31 (libpurple 2.13.0) (Other programs show the webcam video with no problem.) After many hours of online search and testing, I've narrowed it down, that my webcam seems to use a video format, which is not support by xv. For example, this ends with an error: gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video0 ! xvimagesink Leitung wird auf PAUSIERT gesetzt ... Leitung ist aktiv und erfordert keinen VORLAUF … Leitung wird auf ABSPIELEN gesetzt ... FEHLER: Von Element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstV4l2Src:v4l2src0: Internal data stream error.

I've no experience in gstreamer programming, but if I can modify the source code to create a pipeline, like above, this could solve my problem. Any hint is appreciated.

Message-ID: <2013471720.35095.1576956830063@connect.xfinity.com> Hi, I work for a company who leases laptops. My lease is up and am changing to a new laptop. I've been a very long time user of Pidgin and would like to install this on my new laptop. The new laptop policy controlled is maintained by the company IT department. They have installed software that I cannot disable that scans all incoming "everything". I tried both the "normal" installer and "off-line" installer for Pidgin on my Windows 10 PC. I'm noticing that the IT software is scanning and quarantining the GTK+ portion of the Pidgin download. The software does start up and I am able to attempt to set up on this new laptop the same account I have on my old laptop. However it fails to connect. I'm not sure if the GTK+ failure has anything to do with it. Please advise. Sadly I cannot inspect the password on the old laptop to make sure I'm using the same password on the new laptop. I never change the password and I could have forgotten it. Sadly not sure what to do about that. But I would like to rule out the GTK+ issue first. I don't know what to do about that either. Please advise. Thanks ... Mike From RodneyMyers60 at yahoo.com Sat Dec 21 16:39:06 2019 From: RodneyMyers60 at yahoo.com (Rodney D.

The Facebook prpl is a little different to the others that you'll need to pick the other two people from a popup first before you can start chatting with them. After that, you can invite more people from the Conversation->Invite menu. Cheers, Eion On Wed, 1 Jan 2020, 02:17 Noudess Icescout, wrote: > I have typically used facebook messenger.
