Google Talk on Empathy keeps disconnecting

  • 772

I have been unable to use Google Talk with Empathy since I updated to 10.10. I have this problem on three computers, one which is updated and two that were fresh installs (4 months apart, so a different image).

The error I get is:

"Disconected - No reason specified"
10.10

  1. I've found empathy/pidgin to have problems with gtalk in general, so you might be better off using gajim Install gajim to connect to gtalk. It doesn't support video I think, but it is more stable in terms of the connection.

  3. Or you may use this handy trick to do all you can do with google talk, audio/video chatting is also supported and the best part is this gtalk is developed by google itself http://tutafuta.com/2011/05/25/how-to-use-gtalk-on-linux-or-mac/
