Pidgin: ‘Fix’ for Bug #12238 with error “corrupt … blist.xml”

Posted on 2012/07/29 by h4cc

I use Pidgin for some IRC channels but there is a problem with some channels with special chars in their channel topic text. There seem to be some special chars that are used for colors and similar, but pidgin does not handle them correctly in the xml files like blist.xml (buddylist).

More about that bug in this tickets:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/326425
and
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12238

My fix for the bug: Creating a start script for pidgin, that converts the badly escaped stuff in the xml files:

#!/bin/bash
if [ -f ~/.purple/blist.xml ]
then
  mv ~/.purple/blist.xml ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp
  cat ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp | sed 's/\&#x/\&#x/g' > ~/.purple/blist.xml
  rm ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp
fi
/usr/bin/pidgin

#!/bin/bash

if [ -f ~/.purple/blist.xml ]

then

mv ~/.purple/blist.xml ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp

cat ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp | sed 's/\&#x/\&#x/g' > ~/.purple/blist.xml

rm ~/.purple/blist.xml.tmp

/usr/bin/pidgin

Apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for HOSTNAME

Posted on 2012/06/04 by h4cc

If your apache2 outputs this warning when starting, read along how to fix it:

* Starting apache2 …
apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for HOSTNAME
apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

* Starting apache2 …

apache2: apr_sockaddr_info_get() failed for HOSTNAME

apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

Problem is that Apache2 is told to use a hostname that the system can not resolve.
Simple solution is to put HOSTNAME to the /etc/hosts file, like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
1.2.3.4 HOSTNAME

1 2	127.0.0.1 localhost 1.2.3.4 HOSTNAME

If you have the problem that your /etc/hosts is ignored, check this article:

You have to change dour deps file like this to resolve the problem:

old:

[DoctrineFixturesBundle]
    git=http://github.com/symfony/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle

[DoctrineFixturesBundle]

git=http://github.com/symfony/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git

target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle

new:

[DoctrineFixturesBundle]
    git=http://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle
    version=origin/2.0

[DoctrineFixturesBundle]

git=http://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle.git

target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/DoctrineFixturesBundle

version=origin/2.0

Official change:
https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineFixturesBundle/commit/479f10d068bd0b01e055aa2f555946893322b79c
