Successful login to the msn account via http://login.live.com/ I can confirm this bug for Fedora 10 as well : pidgin-2.5.3-1.fc10.i386 Upstream know the bug too : http://www.nabble.com/-8080%3A-Unable-to-retrieve-MSN-address-book-td21407542.html There is no clear solution for the moment it seems. The workaround I'm using is to get libpurple-devel and pidgin-devel, and build the msn-pecan plugin from http://code.google.com/p/msn-pecan/ . Well the plugin seems to be stuck in paperwork #451298.. Perhaps Felipe should step in here and make this happen.. Anyway you can build your own package of the plugin and make it available to your users simply cd into your SOURCE directory then do wget -c http://msn-pecan.googlecode.com/files/msn-pecan-0.0.17.tar.bz2 cd into your SPEC directory and do wget -c http://www.linuxed.net/~madko/fedora/pidgin-msn-pecan.spec open up your favourite text editor and change the version ( second line ) from 0.0.13 to 0.0.17 then run rpmbuild -ba pidgin-msn-pecan.spec and voila you have rpm package which you can install with rpm -ihv <package> Then you can just point your users to the package and ask them to change their msn account from being a msn account to be a WLM.. This affects Adium, another purple-based client. http://adiumx.com/blog/2009/01/msn-rejecting-adium-132-connections/ has more information --- from what I understand, this is an MSNP15 issue but msn-pecan uses MSNP12, which happens to still work. Anyway, the Pidgin team are working on the fix: see http://theflamingbanker.blogspot.com/2009/01/msn-issues.html . Yay! Fixed for me in pidgin/libpurple-2.5.4-1.fc10.x86_64 from Koji. MSN appear to have reverted at least part of what changed so it is likely Pidgin 2.5.3 will work again for some people. Fixed for me in 4-1.. I recommend this be pushed to updates-testing as soon as possible.. Only a temporary server problem, closing. |
