Ready to upload it to the repo?

Thanks!

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Does anyone knows how to store pictures that were sent to us by Telegram user on Android? Is it even possible?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

thanks a lot for this, works fine, it does misses some text sent by bots but by having telegram-cli running in background i can see that text on terminal so its fine for now, so please do put this in repos :)

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Hi i tested it also on my good old n900.
How i can turn on the notifications ?
Is it possible also blinking the led?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

i'm new to the telegram party. installed the debs from post 38, but i'm there seems to be no way to pass the "Register your number prompt"

when i put in my name, the dialog simply comes up indefinitely.

is there a trick somewhere?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

ah
looks like one has to wait a little on the prompt. this time it worked. no contacts yet, haha, but i hope to persuade a friend or two to use Telegram

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

hi t-b!
post number seven in this very thread actually works fine regarding smileys; would highly recommend to 'optify' as suggested. good luck! ;) :) :D

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

It is already available on extras-devel. Enjoy.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

after the latest update I can't use telegram anymore. any suggestions?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I think it would be interesting to know if you installed this one first before updating to the version in extras-devel.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Yes, I have. I also deleted everything and installed it again from extras and nothing changed. Should I uninstall/purge again and install that .deb file?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I'm also curious about the steps you've done that lead to the malfunction (mine is still working but I didn't run an update as of yet. I disabled auto-update; yes, feel free to dub me 'control-freak', anyone :D ). so, maybe the one that now 'resides' in the extras isn't "bit-identical"??

[edit]my post came a little bit too late. but still bears the information that the 'unuploaded' version that t-b pointed to still works fine. so my conclusion..: yes, try the original .deb-file(s) again; will most likely work[/edit]

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

After deleting telegram plugin and installing it again from the deb it's finally working. Tnx HTuRtle

Now...how do I disable auto-update? Also, do you know how can I save images that were sent from Telegram users on Android?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

first question: did you actually purge the extras installation? (because I don't deem it necessary; I could've mentioned it before, though..).

regarding auto-update: 'autoupdateconfigurator' is the app to go (I think it technically can't 'disable' the auto-update entirely but can set the check interval to a really-really long period).
okay, 'back' after some 'research' :D . it's maybe not in the 'standard'-repos. check this page for a brief overview and here is the direct download link (it's a .install-file).
[edit]but the more knowledgeable should be able to directly point to the right config-file to manually <s>tamper with</s> alter[/edit]
[edit2]here one goes *facepalm*[/edit2]

regarding media-files you've got: you'll find them in "~/.purple/telegram-purple/+$YOUR_PHONE\#/downloads/". however, an alternative way is visiting 'tdesktop.com'. for windows, I'd recommend their portable version. copy only one (large) executable-file to any usb-drive/location you want and you're good to go. neat management of your profile, chat-history and all your media-files.

nice evening :)

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Either the problem was caused by leaving the old dependency package libwebp while reinstalling purple-protocol-plugin, or the autobuilder did something that borked the plugin. Unfortunately, I won't have my phone until the weekend, so I can't test the packages in extras-devel till then.
If you have installed the debs posted before and want to install the ones from extras devel, uninstall both purple-telegram-plugin and libwebp before reinstalation.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Defect here since the update to 1.2.6, too :(

No connection anymore, after I tried to change the account-settings I saw that the complete Telegram-protocol seems to be gone from the pulldown-list....strange.

Reinstalled it without a change.


Now I'm going to read here a bit.......

If I try to remove ppt, it says Remove:
purple... 1.2.6-1
libwebp 0.5.0-1 - isn't that the correct one ?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I do not get it to work anymore.

Please fix!!

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

just to post a second 'user-experience': for me it's still working as always .. nothing changed. hence, it doesn't look like a 'general problem that affects everyone'.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

My experience is the same as HTurRtle above. All working fine. I had added it using the debs in a previous post on this thread

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

In the meanwhile I removed Pidgin and all its installed extensions and reinstalled them one by one, without success.

Telegram is still missing/away in Pidgins pulldown-menu.

The strange thing is, I see no difference between my posted/installed filenames and the ones in the deb.-posting - the only difference I can see is the word 'armel', but version-numbers are matching. Next thing I could do is to check the filesize anyhow, but I do not think that it helps /assuming the files in the repos are definately the same as in the above mentioned deb. posting.

However, something definately is wrong as it does not work here and for some others. The question is why and what can I do now.....

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

??

Telegram is defect here since your update!

Would be great if you tell me how to fix what is defect here since your update.

Still waiting for a solution!That it is working for you is a very bad argument!It is not working for me!

How do I get the old version or fix this defect version?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

The pictures (and possibly other files) go to

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I am getting more and more 'happy' about my N900...:
Tried to load the .deb files from the posting here (even if still noone was able to tell me why there should be any difference to the files marcuzz uploaded to the repos - the numbers matching),
not possible with normal browser....loading-bar loading and loading and loading and loading on this half loaded page here....the browser seems to be more and more useless/defect to me or crashing on unknown scripts or something like that.

Tried the qml-version or how its called, page loaded, dowloading both files seemed to be fine.
After opening them through the filebrowser and clicking one of them, it starts the appmanager, it seems to begin install-process - then it tells me 'file not compatible'???

ARGH!

Size in filemanager:
libwebp_0.5.0-1_armel is 162kb,
ppt_1.2.6-1_armel is 396kn, so I think the download itself was fine.
Press libweg, I am asked If i want to update libwebp, 1kb....1KB?
Pressing Details it says Size 340kb, downloadsize 0kb....


What is going on here?

Everything was fine until this update :(

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

thx, @sicelo. I kind of already replied to branja (when he re-asked this a little bit later on xD )

@Micha1982: the reply "it works for others" doesn't help you but it still tightens the circle around your problem as it's not a general problem in the package that everyone gets affected by. so, as a developer, I would appreciate this kind of feedback (did I break something universally .. or did the user potentially mess up something). did you purge all instances?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

How to do this exactly (before doing something wrong...) ? Last time I ran clean900 and autoclean, clean, purge and autoremove after deinstalling everything (complete Yappari, all its extensions, this libp-file and of course the ppt). Then I reinstalled it. Without a change.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

ah, only now I saw you wrote something while I typed my post, @Micha1982. well, for beginners, start using terminal. it saves you lots of hassle and makes your life easier. all you need is either 'get' && 'dpkg' or apt-get. voila. even easier is setting up ssh-server on your device and typing remote with a full-fledged keyboard. make yourself familiar with the shell .. it's a linux-based mini-computer, after all. ;)

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Written while you wrote:

406,5 kB (406526 Bytes)
166,9 kB (166876 Bytes)

is the filesize of the downloaded files shown on my pc.

If I try to start libwebp from N900s filemanager after disconnect it from my pc, the appmanager starts, it asks if I want to update, I press yes, it tells me 'not compatible'?! Completely strange. Details showing Size 340kb, downloadsize 0 Kb...why is downloadsize 0kb, why does the file start at all? Could understand if a file is broken, but why does the process start at all?! Description and so on also works, so I do not think the file is defect...as said, strange...

Regarding your post, I know...(my pcs are all running different kinds of Linux :) ), but I mostly try to avoid the terminal on the n900 and using the fam. In this case the 'normal' appmanager started automatically.

(this may end up in a funny 'criss-cross' posting where you have to look not one but three posts back in order to be able to follow/comprehend. maybe I should start using quotation.. xD )

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I missed that one, sorry. The pitfalls of skimming indiscriminately. I had seen the post, but not got to that part. Thanks

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

the files sizes you wrote are the exact same as mine. however, filesize is not a good way of verifying the integrity of a file; so sha-1s of
'libwebp_0.5.0-1_armel.deb' = 'AC382B6AD8F5DABFD81B1E01622A34DEA7977099' and
'purple-protocol-telegram_1.2.6-1_armel.deb' = '62426CA084573C24CE1ED63159744270E65E8C8C'
but I also think your experience is not due to a faulty file.

make yourself familiar with the dpkg-manager and install it via cli.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

hey, no problem, @sicelo ;) :D

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Still do not know why -
but it works now. I reinstalled it and purge and so on (this presumably was the reason that install was 'not compatible' - I still have had the same (?) version installed),
after this I installed the here downloaded libwebp.deb with dpkg -i in superuser-mode (after it told me that this is neccessary) and installed the ppt (for verification it works) through the filemanager.

Now Telegram starts fine again.

Still wondering what the reason was...missed I to 'purge dpkg' the first time or is there any difference between the files here and the repos-files?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

But there is another little problem,
in the program itself:

Now the last two menupoints of the editbar are completely overlapping each other.....the red one above shows 'not private' - nice that I can press it now from where I am writing - but it would be cool to see what is written under this menupoint :D

Is there any way to customize this anyhow?

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

glad it now works for you again, @Micha1982. Next time, maybe you take a more humble approach by not outright accusing the developer but first look at what you can do to improve your situation/fix it yourself. regarding the ui-glitch you're talking about .. I actually have no idea what you mean. maybe make a screenshot and show it here .. perhaps it's something that needs to get addressed..

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Hi, just in case it happens to someone else, after some updates in my N900, the telegram-purple stopped working properly: defined Telegram accounts were marked as (unknown) protocol and Telegram was no longer among the available protocols in the drop-down list.

I reinstalled purple-protocol-telegram, but this didn't change the behaviour.

Then I discovered telegram-purple.so was located at / , instead of /usr/lib/purple-2 .
I've just created a link
# ln -s /telegram-purple.so /usr/lib/purple-2

and it works again.

Did anyone observe this behaviour?

Is /telegram-purple.so the right place for the file?
would it have to be somewhere in /opt and linked or directly in /usr/lib/purple-2 ?

Regards,
Rafa.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

For those in need, after installing it you need to move telegram-purple.so in your home directory to /home/user/.purple/plugins or the Telegram account option will not be recognized by your Pidgin app!

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

interesting .. well, I installed it and *boom*, it worked. checked locations now and they are correct. so, obviously, not everyone is affected by this bug. but, of course, great to know one possible cause if it's not working.

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I had exactly the same problem. Thanks for the solution!

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

Not working. @-@

Re: [Announce] purple-protocol-telegram: Telegram Messenger plugin for Pidgin
 

I justed checked .. I do not have said file in said directory .. but it's working. hmmm, weird
