Unknown error #543

usermyname12 · 2023-10-14T08:03:44Z

It does not work anymore. It tries to connect and it fails with "An unknown error has occurred". Account gets locally disabled as well.

jeremyp3 · 2023-10-14T08:59:56Z

I'm having the same problem this morning. Facebook no longer connects. :(

solbu · 2023-10-14T09:05:14Z

Can confirm. It stopped working today.

Can confirm, same thing happened to me today as well.

I tried updating to Facebook Fixed by 64kramsystem in hopes that it would make the issue go away, but sadly, it did not.

hoehermann · 2023-10-14T10:07:06Z

You might want to try using Caprine instead since this plugin is not maintained. https://github.com/sindresorhus/caprine

Caprine is Facebook only. I want a single application which supports all the protocols.

wsfsbvchr · 2023-10-14T10:29:29Z

Yep. They must've changed something.

Malvineous · 2023-10-14T12:02:38Z

Looks like it's auth related, OAuth seems to be failing on Facebook's end:

wsfsbvchr · 2023-10-14T14:43:48Z

Oh, so chances are it's just broken atm.

greatquux · 2023-10-14T15:05:35Z

Ferdium is a good alternative that supports many different protocols. Basically a wrapper around all their web apps but it’s better than all different clients running for sure.

Also getting "An unknown error has occurred" and cannot connect. Please can somebody fix this?

alexolog · 2023-10-14T17:59:44Z

The best thing going for Pidgin is that the chats are unified. I can communicate with a buddy on different protocols and still have a unified chat history.

Can anybody recommend alternative app for this? I need Buddy pounces and invisible mode.

Please don't suggest any alternative application. Suggest an alternative plugin to Pidgin, but not an alternative application. There should be a rule against that.

Please don't suggest that I shouldn't suggest an alternative application. Suggest that it's a shame that no one is able to maintain this plugin (or Pidgin itself for that matter, which I love and still use for whatever I can, such as Teams and WhatsApp), but not that I shouldn't suggest an alternative application, especially as an alternative plugin for Facebook Messenger does not exist, at least which I am aware of. There should be a rule against that.

Be advised at 03:40:33 UTC 15 October 2023 I had completely successful login to Facebook protocol with Pidgin. This session has been solid for about 90 min. Presence updates, pounce triggers, and messages in both directions working fine. My last (failed) attempt to login was very roughly 3 hours prior.

This problem self-resolved. I had yet to take any action apart from re-enabling the Facebook protocol from error state in Pidgin.

Metalhead33 · 2023-10-15T06:17:58Z

It's fixed for me as well, though I get ":1:12: feldolgozási hiba: unexpected identifier `taNewMessage', expected value" errors at times (usually when I send a message to someone through the browser).

But yes, finally, the "Unknown error" is fixed.

usvi · 2023-10-15T07:25:07Z

Whatever was the problem, it seems to have indeed solved itself without intervention. 2023-10-15 0723 hours UTC / Finland.

solbu · 2023-10-15T10:22:23Z

Can confirm too: The issue has resolved itself. :-)
