Empathy has been the default messaging program in Ubuntu since version 9.10, when it replaced Ekiga. It supports text, voice, and video chat and file transfers over many different protocols. You can tell it about your accounts on all those services and do all your chatting within one application. For more information about Empathy, see: http://live.gnome.org/Empathy

Testing

If you wish to test Empathy or get help, you can join the live chat channel (#telepathy) on IRC (Freenode). Once you've joined just type your request for testing (ie. "hi all, I'd like to test my Empathy install").

Installation

Ubuntu 9.10

IMPORTANT: Since Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), Empathy has been part of the distribution. You can skip to "Installing the appropriate packages" below, you don't need additional third-party repositories. Empathy comes pre-installed in Ubuntu 9.10 but other components may be added as described below.

Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10 and 8.04

Adding the Empathy third-party repository

You can get the latest version of Empathy by changing your repositories as follows: First add the public key from the developers:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com FA3A1271

Next add the following repositories depending upon your Ubuntu version to /etc/apt/sources.lst or graphically in System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager->Settings->Repositories:

  • For Jaunty (9.04) users:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main 
  • For Intrepid (8.10) users:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main 
  • For Hardy(8.04) users:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/telepathy/ppa/ubuntu hardy main 

You then need to update the source list using the following command, or graphically (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager->Reload):

    sudo apt-get update

Installing the appropriate packages

In a terminal, enter the following command, use the Synaptic package manager to find and install it:

sudo apt-get install empathy  

The application will show up in Applications->Internet->Empathy IM Client Optionally, you can add more functionality/integration with the following packages:

  • SIP: telepathy-sofiasip
  • MSN Live / Messenger: telepathy-butterfly
  • IRC: telepathy-idle
  • Empathy applet: empathy-megaphone-applet
  • Voice & video: libtelepathy-farsight0 python-tpfarsight
  • Other: galago-eds-feed python-galago python-galago-gtk

For example, to install support for SIP, MSN, IRC and voice & video all at once:

sudo apt-get install telepathy-sofiasip telepathy-butterfly telepathy-idle libtelepathy-farsight0 python-tpfarsight
