حلم مصرية

Empathy is the default instant messaging client for Karmic Koala. Anyway, I didn’t like it. That’s why I’ve installed Pidgin instead.

On pidgin, sometimes there is a problem with gtalk. Here are my settings that made it work fine.

1- In Basic tab:

Domain = gmail.com

Resource = Home

2- In Advanced tab:

Require SSl = checked

Force Old SSL = checked

Allow plaintext = unchecked

connect port = 443

connect server = talk.google.com

The rest as default. That’s it.
