Pidgin: Installing GAIM-Encryption plugin onto PortaGAIM

Submitted by Serotonin on January 17, 2007 - 5:53pm

Wondering if anyone has had any experience with installing this plugin and could tell me how to do it.

The plugin website is here:
http://gaim-encryption.sourceforge.net/

I have tricked it to extracted the files it would have installed into a folder on my desktop, so I know what it wants to install (if it were not the portable version), but I would like to know if it's possible to use this plugin with PortaGAIM, if anyone knows.

Thanks,
Craig.

Pidgin: Gaim 2.0.0beta 5 crashes on exit

Submitted by CyberJedi on January 14, 2007 - 9:18am

Anyone having a problem with Gaim Portable 2.0.0beta 5 crashing when you go to exit by either directly closing the app or by signing off your accounts, and then exiting?? This happening multiple times.

This just started happening to me yesterday. I haven't made any changes to my O/S (Windows XP Home SP2) or anything for that matter. I run it off my laptop and have been doing so since its inception. I've never had this problem with prior versions of Gaim Portable on my laptop either. I even ran my older version 1.5.0 to make sure it that runs fine.

Miranda 0.6 ;)

I know it is a bit early to ask, but will the 0.6 version (released December 29th) be modified as a portable app? This would be so great, because with 0.5.1 I can't establish a File Transfer Connection between the original-ICQ-client users and I hope that this will change with the new version (UPnP).

Many thanks for the great work done so far!

Greetings and best wishes for 2007!

Hi,
Im kinda havin problems with miranda. Im running it from my external hard drive.
About every 5 minutes or so, it goes offline. Kinda annoying.
And the second problem, the file transfer doesn't work at all, whether sending or receiving. Do i have to chance some settings to get the fill transfer running ?
My contacts are icq and msn user.

Pidgin: Using Gaim Portable with Novell

Submitted by SHS on December 13, 2006 - 11:01am

I am having trouble using Gaim Portable with my office computer that runs Novell and GroupWise. Previously, I could not use regular Gaim with my office computer, but was able to download, install and use Yahoo Messenger through Port 80. A recent change by our IT folks has rendered YM unusuable. So, I went to Gaim Portable on my flash drive. (I use Gaim exclusively on my home computers.) For both YM and Gaim Portable I get a message that it could not connect -- or, sometimes, that I am disconnected (before I even knew I was connected). Can anyone help? Thank you!
