Gaim 1.5.0

[acascianelli]

gaim.sourceforge.net

I know it just came out, but Ubuntu has been pretty good about upgrading to the latest version quickly.

[veratyr]

I'd really like it since it says in the changes that they fixed file transfers when both users are behind a NAT firewall/router.

[Kyral]

1.5.0 isn't in Breezy yet, so I don't think it can be backported ATM.

Wait a couple days :D

[Kimm]

Wow... gaim 1.5.0 is out? great! ^^

can ne one compile it?

[lotusleaf]

If no one backports it, consider downloading (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/downloads.php) the Gaim 1.5.0 autopackage (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gaim/gaim-1.5.0.x86.package?download). It's very (http://autopackage.org/), very (http://autopackage.org/using.html) simple (http://autopackage.org/docs/howto-install/) to use. :)

ya i am, maybe i will.

[veratyr]

I was able to compile and install it from source easily enough. Give it a try. Still can't get AIM file transfers to work though :(.

[jamo]

You have to open TCP port 5190 in your firewall to get this working.
Maybe this is the problem?

[ZephyrXero]

The Autopackage worked great for me! ;)

[jamo]

I compiled 1.5.0 from Breezie for Hoary.
The packages can be found here (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jadero/ubuntu).
Though they work for me, I give no guaranty at all.

Anyway, try them and post comments :)

Cheers,
jamo

I tryed to first install the gaim data which worked and after that the gaim 1.5 but I got an error saying I don't have liblaunchpad-integration0 package. Synapatic didn't find that. Any help?

[jamo]

You're right. The missing deps are launchpad-integration and liblaunchpad-integration0, both backported from breezy.
I uploaded them as well.

Hope everything runs fine now.

[Kyral]

I can't Apt-Source it 'cause it needs the -dev package of the launchpad integration. WTF is up with this launchpad stuff anyway... I can't compile XChat 2.4.4 because of it

[jamo]

I removed launchpad from gaim. It's not a necessary feature imho.
You can find updated (1ubuntu2) packages here (http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~jadero/ubuntu).
If you still need launchpad for other software (or want to install
version 1ubuntu1 with launchpad-integration), all packages spawned
from the source-package can be found under the same link.

[GoA]

Works fine now. Thank you for helping. :)

[stas]

Works good.
Thanx.

[duffman25]

Bump!

I would prefere to install backports from the official proyect, so, Can the backports people backport gaim please.

Is this proyect stalled? I've haven't seen any backports in a few weeks. :(

[tom-ubuntu]

The new release of Ubuntu is coming closer; I guess, most of the devs are working on this. Really don't hope, that Backports is dead. This is a really important part of the distribution!

Then I hope something will be done so that backports aren't dead. :(

[Kyral]

I would think that as Breezy gets closer and closer to being complete, and as a side effect more libs and stuff that CAN'T be Backported safely come into it and enter the depends of packages, that Backports will slow down. By the time that Breezy comes out, there won't be an immeadiate need for the Backports, seeing as Backports exists for bringing packages from Ubuntu Unstable (Breezy right now) to Ubuntu Stable (Hoary right now). However I think within a month of Breezy going stable that Backports will come back as development of the next version starts.

And besides, jdong and co. could use a break, don'tcha think? :razz:

[jdong]

IIRC, I've tried this backport and it didn't work out. I'll take another look.

[aledie]

Can somebody check this repository for Ubuntu 5.04: it contents besides Gaim 1.5, Inkscape 0.42, vym, gnome-doc-utils 0.3.2, evince 0.4.1 ...

[manicka]

Well, it's probably the riskiest thing I've done since using Ubuntu, but I bit the bullet and gave this repo a whirl. Main updates I wanted were Gaim and Evince.
The only issue I had was that the icon for Evince disappears from the menu with this package. Quickly fixed by adding back in manually with smeg.

As a precautionary measure I've kept a record of all the changes in case I need to go back.Everything seems fine though at this stage, only time will tell.

Main site is a Thai one, so it's difficult to know where the owners are from are from or what they do. Maybe someone out there could translate for us.

[Kyral]

Using Repos outside the main Ubuntu or Debian ones? (Or Official KDE Repos or Smoon's E17 Repo)

Don't come crying to us if you break your system.....

OK, I'm a big boy, I can handle it.

I wasn't recommending that everyone do this. Just giving feedback to a request

[donar73]

How about an official backport for Gaim 1.5.0? I don't like to use an unknown repository... :???:

[veratyr]

Hey donar73, you wouldn't happen to be a fan of Menhir would you?

[jdong]

No, doesn't resolve cleanly from Breezy sources... Not a candidate for Backports.

[donar73]

Hey donar73, you wouldn't happen to be a fan of Menhir would you?

Menhir?

[veratyr]

I guess not then.

Hi all,

I'm installing from autopackage and so far everybody seems to have accomplished this flawlessly except for me :-(

somewhat strange problem...

this is my errout when run as normal user (I usualy do this first for the feedback)

:root@ganymede:~/downloads/gaim# ./gaim-1.5.0.x86.package

root@ganymede:~/downloads/gaim#

thoughts? Now felt like a good time to take a step back and ask for advice...

I use kubuntu hoary 5.04 on amd64 - need any other info?

Thx!

[pizzach]

n1x0r, I would just install 1.5 from source. It's really not all that hard. I did it will no weird problems if I remember. Just make sure you install the build essentials before hand. (just search build essentials on the forums or go to ubuntuguide.org)

Hope this helps.

[n1x0r]

i tried that earlier and had difficulty, but on your advice i'll try again. I'm very confused about why the autopackage would work for so many other people but not in my case. The only sig difference that i can think of is that i use amd64....

but if that means i can't use autopackage then i would be very dissapointed because it seems like such a good and natural solution from what i read (?)

If i run into trouble installing from source I'll demonstrate / describe the problem alot better than i am now :-P

ya, you were right. Stupid mistake on my part. I had GTK+2 installed but not the devel version of the libs, I grabbed them from synaptic iin seconds and ran

root@ganymede:~/downloads/gaim/gaim-1.5.0# ./configure && make && make check && make install & make clean

happy ending :-)

I'm running AMD64 as well, getting same error. Could you inform me which package exactly is needed (I use apt-get, don't touch Synaptic). Thanks.

i'm curious why you don't use snaptic. Its a powerul and stable tool. You shouldn't neglec it as an option, because it is a good one.

I don't typically use apt but i'll attempt to answer your question...

libgtk2.0-dev is the name of the package abstraction. If you install this it will install the latest stable version of this library available for your archetecture. In my case that was version 2.6.4-ubuntu3 .

the following section should be verified by someone smarter than me before accepted as true :-) ---
dev lib files are generally not platform specific (i think) because they are mostly just header and other interface files and not binaries. Unless the interface changes (major/minor update) you will probably get the same version. --- is this correct?

at any rate your /etc/apt/sources.list file will by default direct you only to packages appropriate for your platform. If you edited this, someone should have told you it was at your own risk. However if you didn't- it's possible that your worrying to much b/c this detail is taken care of for you

So then i think your specifically looking for this
# apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev :grin:

[ZephyrXero]

The current version of Autopackage doesn't work so well on KDE/Qt machines...and you'd need a x86-64 specific autopackage if youre running 64bit linux I believe. If your running a 32bit x86 - Gnome/GTK based system it works flawlessly.

Do remember Autopackage is still very new. The next version of Autopackage (1.2) will be out soon, and it should fix all the problems with KDE/Qt stuff ;)

[domstyledesign]

I installed gaim 1.5 from the autopackage and 1.5 is what runs, but apt still shows 1.4 as the installed version. i don't really know too much about autopackage. is this what i should expect?

[Technoviking]

Sorry, tried to get a backport built, but it is kicking my butt.

Yes it is. I think you'd find it safe to remove 1.4 with apt, as you have two versions on your system.

how do i compile gaim 1.5.0.. i downl0ad it already..
tnx.....
:D

You will have to make sure you have all the gtk developer files installed first.

To compile gaim open a terminal then type the following commands once in the gaim directory:

./configure

^If you get errors note them and then install the required package from apt-get.

Once done:

make

Then...

make install

However it would be easier sticking to the gaim available in apt-get.
