[ubuntu] Voice chat with Google talk user using Empathy

[vigyani]

Hi

Want to voice chat with Google Talk user!!
On Ubuntu 8.04 Empathy can be used to voice chat with Googletalk users.

On an updated Ubuntu 8.04; Using Synaptic Package Manager add the following third party repository and install the packages given below.

Instructions:
System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager

Go to Settings->Repositories
Go to Third Party Software --> Add;
Enter the following line in APT line:

 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ubuntu hardy main

Close and Reload

Search and mark the following packages for install:
Empathy
telepathy-gabble
telepathy-mission-control
telepathy-stream-engine

and Apply i.e. install.

Use the latest packages as older packages do not allow Gtalk/Jingle VOIP.

After installing start Empathy (Applications --> Internet --> Empathy Instant Messenger)

Configure your gmail account.

Cheers
