gtalx: Howto Gtalk in ubuntu ( google talk )


Did you fail to use "gtalk in ubuntu" ...

Now you can chat and talk to your gmail buddies in ubuntu...

1. check for gtk2.0 and qt4

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libogg-dev libtheora-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libavcodec-dev libswscale-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libexpat-dev libraw1394-dev libvorbis-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libgsm1-dev  libspeexdsp-dev libmediastreamer0-dev libortp-dev

2. Remove 'pulse audio sound server'
Open synaptic package manager and remove pulse audio

3. "Download gtalx" from here

Dowload it here


4. Extract the file....

$ tar -zxvf 0.0.4.tar.gz

5. Get into the directory....


$ cd 0.0.4

and then...

$ sudo chmod u+x make
$ ./make

$ sudo ./make install


6. Enjoy.....

Please comment about your installation(whether it was a success or not....)

Take gtalx from Applications > Internet > gtalx
Enter your gmail login information..and click connect...


After successful login your online gmail buddies will be listed...
Click the "Contact" button to "chat or call" that person..

Upon clicking the contact button you will be shown a screen like this....
If you need to chat..type your message and click "send"...
If you want to talk..click 'call"....



Enjoy....It worked successfully for me...

installation is ok
but after entering the mail id and password the window is idle and automatically closes and the program terminates

Please mention you OS and version.....

Hi

I just wonder if instead of removing pulse-audio would not installing libasound2-plugins be a solution. If it is then this approach is much better I think :-)

Worked for me, but now I need to figure out how how actually voice chat through the client,

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that out. But one small suggestion. Please ensure that your site does not play videos without getting the user's approval. It is really annoying. That may drive vistors away from your site. I had to install adblock firefox extension to block the videos in your site from loading automatically. Also kindly remove the popups that are trying to open when your site is loaded. Again this may make vistors fly away. But I like your content. Keep up the good work.

Dipin Krishna on September 8, 2009 10:55 AM said...

On Debian/Ubuntu systems :

sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update

then:

apt-file search speex_preprocess.h

will tell you that the file you are looking for is in the libspeexdsp-dev
package.

now,
sudo apt-get install libspeexdsp-dev

Jozsi on November 13, 2009 8:21 PM said...

Hi

I have created 2 deb files for ubuntu 9.10. It is still not tested very well (only tested on kubuntu 9.10) but if you have any issues I'll help you sort them out (meaning I'll fix my bugs in the deb file :-))

Here is the homepage of gtalx:

Contact me at the email address that can be found in the Contact Us section on the homepage of gtalx.

Hi, I am a new user of linux and ubuntu also. I am using Ubuntu 9.10. I could follow the instructions upto Step 4. From Step 5 i can't proceed. I have downloaded the tar file. but the command "cd 0.0.4" is not working in terminal. Please someone help me to proceed.....

Dipin Krishna on February 16, 2010 11:48 AM said...

@Kaljoi Jodhdha
look for the download directory.
When you untar the archive you will get the directory "0.0.4".
cd into the current location.

Which is your download directory?
