Many of you guys might not have tried Ubuntu because you can’t use Google Talk out there. Using google talk voice and video was not possible in previous Ubuntu versions. But the new Ubuntu 9.10 comes with the right tool developed for it. The software we use for it is Empathy. Empathy have developed it to cater the googletalk facility and you can use it for yahoo, MSN, IRC, and many other protocols too.

Here’s how to setup it in Empathy that runs in Ubuntu 9.10.

You can select all the listed protocols here. We’ll use Google Talk this time.

Make sure to put the server in “Override Server settings” as talk.google.com. Other details you can leave as default.

After you configure the google account, you can talk to your friends using voice and even video. You can even call using the number pad available in Empathy in some countries. That depends on the Telecom operators in your country.
