Talk:Pidgin

Avahi needs to be installed, started and enabled for Bonjour protocol to work on Pidgin

By default, after installing avahi package the service (avahi-daemon.service) doesn't start nor is enable.

In this situation, the Bonjour protocol will not work for Pidgin, and an error message will appear indicating the lack of a mDNS server (or something like that).

After:

pacman -S avahi

systemctl enable --now avahi-daemon.service

, Bonjour will work fine in Pidgin.

Should this be added to this wiki?
