    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:

Thanks in advance for the help.

    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

    i configure gtalk with our valuable instructions.i logged into application,i use well.its working.but i have small doubt what is that is how to logging out from the application

    Hi.
    i can’t find the directory that your mention at step-5. please let me know how to do that

  27. James

    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.

    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 🙂

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