Facebook not visible in pidgin

Open Botspot opened this issue 5 years ago • 12 comments

Using a Raspberry Pi 4. (Armv7l) Trying to use Facebook Messenger outside of the browser. Installed pidgin and pidgin-facebookchat successfully using apt, but Facebook is not listed in the 'Protocol' drop-down list: image According to synaptic, pidgin-facebookchat installed this file: /usr/lib/purple-2/libfacebook.so I tried copying it to /home/pi/.purple/plugins/, but it still doesn't show up in the drop-down. Any suggestions?

I am having the same issue on openSUSE Leap 15.3. The plugin is installed, but it's not showing in Pidgin's list.

@lproven run pidgin -d and check the output: it will log plugin loads and errors, maybe some purple-facebook dependencies are missing

@lproven run pidgin -d and check the output: it will log plugin loads and errors, maybe some purple-facebook dependencies are missing

I've done it on my machine.

APT says that package is already installed.

try libjson-glib-1.0-0 package name

I've gone ahead and installed all packages matching the *json-glib* pattern: json-glib-tools libjson-glib-1.0-0 libjson-glib-1.0-common libjson-glib-dev libjson-glib-doc

No change in pidgin's output.

Botspot avatar Sep 24 '21 16:09 Botspot

Can you check where it is installed? Maybe Pidgin cannot find it.

Please show the output of ldd /usr/lib/purple-2/libfacebook.so

Can you check where it is installed? Maybe Pidgin cannot find it.

According to Synaptic, it appears to have installed these files:

  • /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libjson-glib-1.0.so.0
  • /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libjson-glib-1.0.so.0.400.4

Sure.

@lproven run pidgin -d and check the output: it will log plugin loads and errors, maybe some purple-facebook dependencies are missing

Wow! 26MB of log file within 2 minutes.

I did this, and looked for the string "facebook" -- and lo, it is loading, and now it is available in my list of protocols. I am running a rolling-release distro (openSUSE Tumbleweed) and it looks like it started working since I posted.

Thank you for the reply. Now it seems to be OK. Sorry for the noise.
