Pidgin - Setting Up Google Talk Accounts

How to chat with Google Talk in SolydXK Linux? Is there any Gtalk application in SolydXK?

Of course it is.
The default application for chat in SolydXK is Pidgin.

According to Pidgin Site :

"Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple chat networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on MSN, talking to a friend on Google Talk, and sitting in a Yahoo chat room all at the same time."

"Pidgin supports many features of these chat networks, such as file transfers, away messages, buddy icons, custom smilies, and typing notifications. Numerous plugins also extend Pidgin's functionality above and beyond the standard features."

So, lets set Pidgin to log into Google Talk account.

Open Pidgin.

The Welcome Screen.

Click Add...

The Add Account window dialog box will appear.

Select Google Talk under Protocol dropdown list.

Enter username before @gmail.com

If your account is thisismyemail@gmail.com,

just fill thisismyemail without @gmail.com.

Enter password and tick remember password.

Enter your preferred local alias, and tick new mail notification if you want to be notified about new email.

Click add.

Click close.

And you are connected to Google Talk.

Location of The deb Files Stored

Here is the story :

After several months using SolydXK and it ran smoothly, i want to install it into another PC of mine or maybe my friends (and it might goes to my friends' friend).

The problem : 

Slow internet connection to download latest iso or to upgrade the system after fresh installation, and even to download many softwares needed.

Solution : 
Note, need a little command-line process to do the steps.

Copy the deb files from up-to-date already installed SolydX located at :

/var/cache/apt/archives/

into a removable media. You need to be root-ed to do the copy. To do this just open terminal and type sudo thunar.
Note, the SolydX system never being cleaned with :

sudo apt-get clean

Install the new PC with old iso just as explained in this post.
Browse the copied archive folder at removable media, right click and select open terminal here.

type

sudo dpkg -i *.deb 

and hit enter
Note: none of the PC using proprietary driver.

Since my deb files is about 800 mb, it might take a while to be finished.

Then check if there's any broken package using synaptic.

Broken package can be seen through Custom Filters - Broken filters.

To fix this, open the terminal and issue

sudo apt-get -f install

and we got an up-to-date system, plus bonus pae-kernel, a pack of application already installed (like the old PC) and it only needs to download a few packages in order to fix broken packages.

System is up to date.



Note, if you have a decent internet connection, it is much safer to download latest iso or doing regular update after installing the old iso due to the different hardware on every PC.
