Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Dave Smith (davesmith) Assigned to: Mark Doliner (thekingant) Summary: Orphans entries in Buddy List Initial Comment: I have three entries in my Buddy List that duplicate themselves into a new group called "Orphans". These duplicate entries do not work (ie, don't light up when the user is online), but the original entries do work. When I look at the blist.xml, it shows the entries in a group called "Orphans", and each person's id has ^M after it. I have deleted this group from within gaim, and also from the blist.xml, with no success. I have copied the buddy lists from windows, but have run "dos2unix" on each of the original buddy lists, so am not sure where the ^M comes from or why the other entries work! Help please! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Dave Smith (davesmith) Date: 2006-10-28 13:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=7587 I don't see this bug any more in the latest version.

However, there is no garuntee they won't come back the next time you login. There was (is?) a feature in linux gaim (at some point) to remove orphans, but absent that: The most effective, simplist solution I have come across is to verify your blist.xml file (make sure all your buddies are there) and then close Gaim and open AIM Quick Buddy: http://www.aim.com/other/quick_buddy.adp Login with ALL your AIM screen names and delete EVERYTHING (buddies, blocklist, etc. - everything). Logout. Launch Gaim. Entire process takes ~2 minutes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Date: 2003-04-10 10:27 Message: Logged In: NO I have had this orphans group on my buddy list as well (in 0.57 and 0.60), but it had no buddies in it. I have deleted it a number of times successfully. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=717010&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
