Disable Online User Notification in Pidgin
I admit that new notification system in Jaunty Jackalope is better and more user friendly. However, when it comes to IM, being distracted every time when contact becomes online is quite annoying. Notification system in Pidgin is plug-ins called 'Libnotify popups' and , luckily, developer provides user settings for it. To disable notification when your contact becomes online.

Thanks! You're the first Google hit for "ubuntu jaunty pidgin online notification disable." I didn't think to see whether this was a plugin.
Nuts, indeed, Anonymous.
Champion!
If only the setting was more obvious to find...
Indeed, I would also like to say thanks!
Thanks you, that was very really annoying.
Thank you very much!

Thanks, man!
Quite annoying indeed.
Thanks! Was driving me nuts too.

My indebtedness to you can never be repaid. My sons and my son's sons will sing praises to you throughout history for your glorious deed.
sweet! that was annoying the crap out of me.
Thanks mate.
Thanks! You're the first google hit for 'pidgin disable login notifications' :)
There is no way of disabling it in any Pidgin screen itself, and it's terribly distracting!
Lol thank you so much
I've spend a lot of time trying to find this
Oh thank $#%#ing god! You win the internet.
Thanks! That option is *much* too hard to find...
Another person saying thanks. It was making me mental! Thank you!
Thanks buddy! I was scratching my balls
Thank you so much!
You seem to have a lot of gratitude for this. More coming from me. It was absurd that it was hidden away like that and a little difficult to find. Thanks SO much!!
Thanks, i was wondering if there was a way 2 start it minimized as well.
thankkkk youuuu!!!
Thanks !! I couldnt see an option for it in prefrences n going nuts .
Thanks for posting this!

My god, I've been searching for this *everywhere*... thank you.
You: win
Settings UI in pidgin: fail
Thanks!!
Thank you, that got really annoying!
+1 to all the other 'thank you's
Thanks.
That was really hard to find. I can not believe they made such annoying feature default (well actually it is strange that it exist at all).
Thanks for the tip!
What made it worse was the floating notification would hide itself whenever you try to hover over it (with the intention of right-clicking to see if you could disable it there).
thank you! that was driving me fruit and nuts.

Thanks... with many contacts the constant online notifications were a bit much, so is good to know there is an option to remove them from appearing every few seconds.
Thanks! that was pissing the hell out of me.
Thanks a million!!!
thanks!! it worked
himanshu
I knew it was some plugin config but was too lazy to look into it :)
Thanks!
It should be easier to do disable that ;)
Your tutorial helped a lot.
tx a lot
Thankyou, that helps
i love you as i hate the notifications
Ty for sharing, ..
thanks, this was driving me nuts too!
Thank you so much!
Very thank you!
I was already freaking out.
thank you so much, but this needs to be in pidgin preferences....
thanks.. it worked
Thanks for posting. Migrated from Ubuntu to Mint and this pop up was a disturbance. Disabled it :)
My today's hero!
Thanks!!!
I googled pidgin annoying.. I was trying to look everywhere in the settings, but failed to see there is a configure plugin option available.. Thanks :D
thank you, thank you, thank you...
helped me with one of the biggest flaws of open source software:
the standard settings are made by some nerd programmers without the farsightedness to see what the options for the biggest audience are.
the same with ubuntu/unity
i only replaced unity with cinnamon because of the global menu bar and some trayicons not working anymore after deinstalling it.
MAKE IT USEABLE, GUYS. Every option for the biggest dissection of the people. and if you're not sure: take the less annoying option!
Why the hell would this not be included in the standard preferences !!! Thanks for digging it up and telling people where this annoying little setting really is.
Very helpful thanks!!
thanks a lot, its a bit pain to search it myself.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou... Not sure what the deal was, but every time there was a popup, it inhibited me from being able to type in Pidgin. And with hundreds of people on our Jabber system, I would sometimes be unable to type for 30+ seconds at a go -- a great way to make an IM session stilted and annoying for all parties.
Almost 4 years since this was first posted, and you are still a life saver! Put a flattr button on this page and you might be able to retire!
Thanks
Thank you! Useful post!
Hi. It's few years after and still useful, thank you! :)
Thank you!
Thank you sir, that notification system was driving me nuts.
thanks i hated the notifications soooooooooo damn much!!!!!!!!
one of those things about pidgin that irritates - another is that it brings the window to the fore on connection
good specific information here
thank you sooooo much
thank you soooo much
Another big THANK YOU for that tip, some on my buddy list seem to cycle on/offline every minute or two, and I was about to go postal. Again... THANKS!!!
Thank you! It was bugging me alot!
Indeed, I would also like to say thanks!
thank you! that was driving me nuts.
Thank you!! :)
Pfew! It was really driving me nuts. Using Mint16, but same deal :)
Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you as well!
Thank you!!!!
Finally!! Thanks mate :)
Oh man, thank you so much!
Tks a lot!!!
Thanks dude. why is this not disabled by default -_- or at least in the preferences menu
Thanks! That should be disabled by default! Have 500 FB friends. They'd be really let down if I had a seizure because of one too many of those.
Thanks! For some reason one of my contacts would pop-up three times when he logged in, which was sometimes a few times an hour -was driving me mad! :D
Google got me here for: pidgin disable message when someone becomes available
Thanks a lot !!!! :D
Cheers mate!
Thank god.
Awesome! thanks
thanks mate
Just thanks. the notifications was so much annoying. Thanks a lot. it was drive me crazy.

Lots of thanks, still required in nov2016.
Still 2017. Thxs!
Thanks! Finally I don't have to watch those annoying popups just because someone reboots his/her computer.
Damn google captcha idiocy!!! Now I finally get to post, after selecting an uncountable number of motorcycles, bicycles, traffic lights, busses, store fronts, crosswalks and fire hydrants....
Even in 2020 this was helpful.
thanks
