No wonder they were asking guys for numbers in the name of "password recovery"

@Areba...that is a question that was posed to Google so many times over since '05. Considering Google's aptness for using linux based systems, a lot of linux users petitioned for them to come up with a linux version gtalk but it never materialized. At least they made a chrome version for linux so heck I am fine with using Empathy IM as an alternative for gtalk for the now :) @Mwangi...Graceland is such an awesome album..Gumboots and I know what I know are such amazing tracks aside from the other hits that sprang from that album. Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram. On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 7:22 AM, James Mutuku <listmutuku@gmail.com> wrote:

i thought they recently released the debian package for Google talk

Nope there is none. Check this out: http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html <http://www.google.com/talk/otherclients.html>You need to use a third party client like Pidgin or Empathy to use as a gtalk client.

That was a plugin for video chat on the browser-based GTalk client (the one that lives inside GMail) http://googletalk.blogspot.com/2010/08/use-linux-now-you-can-video-chat-too.... On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 2:02 AM, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

Google talk uses the XMPP originally brought to us by Jabber www.jabber.com - so any XMPP client can log in to google talk server talk.google.com and chat. Not for voice calls though... -- Jangita | +256 76 91 8383 | Y! & MSN: jangita@yahoo.com Skype: jangita | GTalk: jangita.nyagudi@gmail.com

@Jangita..I beg to differ. With the new jabber/xmpp plugins you can now do video chats, voice calls and even file transfers. Check out Empathy IM for linux...it serves these purposes!

True, but I mean't using a xmpp client specifically with Google... or? -- Jangita | +256 76 91 8383 | Y! & MSN: jangita@yahoo.com Skype: jangita | GTalk: jangita.nyagudi@gmail.com

@Jangita...yeah i meant that exactly..XMPP client = Empathy IM, which enables you to do voice calls and the rest for a google account as well as other IM's like yahoo, hotmail and chat for facebook. Quite a handy thing! Have a great day! Warm regards, Amarjit Singh Labhuram. On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 10:12 AM, Jangita <jangita@jangita.com> wrote:

Hehee, and they once blocked my account and prompted me to use my phone number to "recover" my password. They must have been verifying my phone number, I think!
