[SOLVED] Pidgin not connecting to Google Talk

[ravi_npatty]

Hi,

  I am unable to connect using my google talk account in pidgin. I am using pclos 2010.07 and upgraded. It says ¨Server does not use any supported authentication method¨.

But my yahoo account works.

Anybody using pidgin with google account?

Hi ravi_npatty.

Yes I met this issue... It was solved before... Let me find You a link...

Ah here it is.

Basicly what it says:

1) Open synaptic
2) Find and install packages cyrus-sasl and libsasl2-plug-*
3) Close reopen Pidgin

Hope this helps

Andy

P.s You can do it from konsole too. Just run this command as root:

Code: [Select]

apt-get install -y --force-yes cyrus-sasl libsasl2-plug-*
