https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853038 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853038#c9 --- Comment #9 from James Carter <jimc@math.ucla.edu> 2014-07-25 18:44:20 UTC --- @dimstar, I made some progress in testing last night but it was too late to post the results. There were several items that held back progress. The correct URL (at least today) for the package is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dimstar:/branches:/GNOME:/Ap... (vs. openSUSE_13.1) I already had pidgin-2.10.9-4.18.1.x86_64 from v13.1 (updates), so --oldpackage was needed to get the RPM to install. It depends on perl-base = 5.18.2 , v13.1 has perl-5.18.1-2.1.11.x86_64 ; I told zypper "break pidgin by ignoring dependency". Pidgin starts with no error messages. I could log in and do text IM. But in Buddy List - Tools - Plugins, I don't see the video/voice setup plugin, even though the RPM has pixmaps for video-call.png and audio-call.png. Plugins in /usr/lib64/pidgin/*.so match up with the listed plugins and none looks video-ish. Neither do any of the other files in the RPM except those two pixmaps. In dimstar's repo there are no separate packages with names that seem relevant. Referring to http://michael.stapelberg.de/Artikel/video_chat_with_pidgin , he reports installing GStremer infrastructure but no special plugin package for video/voice. So I tried compiling from source (from dimstar's repo). The plan was to look at the .configure log and try to spot why --enable-vv was not honored. Oopsie, when I updated GStreamer from Packman I didn't install gstreamer-devel, and now I can't get the matching version, so I'm going to have to update all of GStreamer. That will have to be this evening. @dimstar, thanks for managing this issue, and it must be frustrating that progress is so slow due to the lack of beta testing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
