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:

Hey it worked fine for me. However how do I use the video?
Perfect installation…….thanks.
thank u post me ur comment to my mail address nagolusudha@gmail.com
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
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.
Worked for me, but now I need to figure out how how actually voice chat through the client,
Thanks!
ther is no pluse-audio package in my synaptic package. what can i do? also i dont know what is directory. pls sent the answer to my own mail kianoosharya@gmail.com
tnx alot
hi i cant find directory.can you help me?
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 🙂
Please mention you OS and version…..
installation is ok
but after entering the mail id and password the window is idle and automatically closes and the program terminates
