Re: [orca-list] pidgin and fb stopped working together, what now?



Just to report that it is indeed working fine here too. Don't forget to clean up quote chars, e.g. > and any broken lines that may appear in your email message before trying the PKGBUILD, but if you are using arch you don't need the reminder most likely...smiles.
Anyway, thanks for posting this promptly José.

I just found out facebook no longer supports xmpp interface, and it's
using its own api [1].

However I found a plugin for pidgin on github [2].  It seems to be
working fine for me.

If anyone interested, the following PKGBUILD is also working for me:

I'm not using it but a quick aur search found this:
https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/purple-facebook-git/
If you think whatever you are using is better, you could publish it to
aur(4)

hello all,
This is bad news.
Pidgin and FB won't work now it seems.
So if I go to facebook.com will I be able to chat using Orca?
I never tired this before so wished to have a word or 2 from experienced people.
Happy hacking.
