Hello All,
When I install pidgin in openSUSE 12.2, I see the Voice/Video plugin available and I’m able to setup my webcam and microphone.
But in OpenSUSE 12.3, this plugin is missing and I don’t have success with finding the solution.
How would I install this missing plugin?
su -
zypper in pidgin*plugin*
On OpenSUSE 12.2 I get this search result, which indicates that no pidgin plugin package is installed on 12.2. Correct?
zypper se pidgin*plugin*
S | Name | Summary | Type
--+-------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------+--------
| pidgin-plugin-advanced-sound-notification | Pidgin plugin adding sound notifications | package
| pidgin-plugin-birthday-reminder | Pidgin plugin to remind you of the birthdays of your buddies | package
| pidgin-plugin-embeddedvideo | Pidgin plugin to watch videos directly into your Pidgin conv-> | package
| pidgin-plugin-guifications | Pidgin plugin to display "toaster" popups | package
| pidgin-plugin-pack | Compilation of plugins for Pidgin | package
| pidgin-plugin-pack-extras | Compilation of plugins for Pidgin -- GPL-3.0+ Plugins | package
| pidgin-plugin-skype | Pidgin plugin for Skype API
So, I doubt that this is the solution (I have tried installing the plugin packages that make sense).
The correct way to check installed packages is
zypper se -i pidginplugin with a -i in between
xdg-open man:zypper confirms this
Alright then, quick question, do you have the Voice and Video settings plugin available in Pidgin on OpenSUSE 12.3?
On OpenSUSE 12.2 I observe this result:
zypper se -i pidgin*plugin*
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
No packages found.
unfortunately,i don’t have pidgin installed. Do fire-up YaST and then search for “pidgin” and install the relevant plugins
I would have never thought of that :sarcastic:.
