[ubuntu-in] pidgin configuration for gtalk

[Venkatesan Padmanabhan]

Hi there,

http://toolweb.wordpress.com/2008/11/27/pidgin-and-google-talk/ :

   1. Tools > Manage Accounts > Add
   2. Select Protocol as “XMPP”
   3. Enter your “Username” without ‘@gmail.com’
   4. Enter the “Domain” as ‘gmail.com’
   5. Enter your “Password” and check the “Remember Password” box.
   6. Goto Advanced Tab
   7. Check the “Force old(port 5223) SSL”
   8. Check the “Allow plaintext auth over unencrypted streams” (just in
      case)
   9. Change the “Connect Port” to ‘5223′
  10. Enter the “Connect Server” as ‘talk.google.com’

Hope this should help!
