Ok yesterday I tried google talk video for the first time. I am using Ubuntu 11.10, Google talk worked for me on my browser could see and hear both ways. However, when I tired google talk video on Empathy it did not. I would accept the call the new chat window would pop up but then disappear just as quick, the caller on the other end would see a message saying I ended the call. I had no chance to, and I accepted not declined. Also, when I tried to initiate the call it would not allow me to. As I understood things google talk was supported by empathy 'out of the box', any reason why empathy and google talk are not playing nice?



Thank you for your time and answers



PS.
text chat works fine on empathy. and other user is using google talk via web browser


More From » 11.10

Use Software Sources tool to add this.



deb http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/ stable main


then refresh your software repositories and install/update the plugin



use the following command to add the authentication key:



wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
