gtalk on gaim
how to access gtalk using gaim?
i am using ubuntu 7.04. the problem is that pidgin is not avalible in repositories. therefore, i downloaded the debian package of pidgin and tried to uninstall gaim. however, when i give the option of uninstalling it, it tells me that it will also remove ubuntu desktop and nautilus.
so , can anyone help?

Re: gtalk on gaim
the latest version of pidgin(2.0.1) supports Google Talk.
it internally uses XMPP protocol.

Re: gtalk on gaim
Simple. Do as anantkhaitan suggested. I use it in the same way. I use it to chat on Hotmail (2), Yahoo (1), ICQ (1), Gmail (1).

Re: gtalk on gaim
Then it should work. Try reconfiguring gaim as said on google.com

Go to advanced tab and make sure that under "Connect Port" it is 5222 and under "Connect server" it is talk.google.com.
