Gajim

Gajim is a free software, instant messaging client for the Jabber (XMPP) protocol which uses the GTK+ toolkit. It runs on GNU/Linux, BSD and Windows. The name Gajim is a recursive acronym for Gajim (is) a jabber instant messenger. The goal of Gajim is to provide a full featured and easy to use Jabber client. Gajim works nicely with GNOME, but does not require it to run. It is released under the GNU General Public License.

Network features

Gajim is a Jabber client and Jabber allows transports to other services, which many servers support. So Gajim can also connect to the Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, ICQ and .NET Messenger Service networks, which is a great advantage for an open source application. Other services available using gateway servers, include RSS and Atom news feeds, sending SMS messages to cellular networks and weather reports. Last but not least you can be connected more than once with an account with differents resources and priorities. For example, you can be connected at home with resource "At Home" and priority 5, and when you are at work you can be connected with resource "At Work" and priority 7 to get your messages at work.

Installing Gajim

Gajim can be found at the Ubuntu Universe repository, so you can simply install package gajim from the Universe repository using your favorite method. If you need help about installing a package read the following InstallingSoftware.

Setting up Gajim

After installation Gajim can be found to start at Applications -> Internet -> Gajim Instant Messenger. On the first time you start up Gajim the Account Creation Wizard Dialog will come up, which will guide you to either create a new account to connect to the jabber network or use an existing one, if you have. So if this is your first time in the jabber network select the option for registering for a new account, choose one of the numerous jabber servers available that offers you the services you need (check out jabber.org for that) and simply give a username and password. You are now connected! You can always add a new account at Edit -> Accounts -> New

Gajim and GoogleTalk

You can configure Gajim to connect to GoogleTalk, which uses the Jabber protocol. After starting Gajim, if this is your first time you start Gajim the Account Creation Dialog shown below will come up. If the dialog does not come up click on Edit then click on Accounts and click New in the window that opens up.

Now you are ready to connect to Google Talk using Gajim. Note however that voice chat is not supported. If you are using a Google Apps account, you have to use the steps above and use your [email protected] instead of [email protected].

MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport

First of all, please note that not all servers support a MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport. Secondly all the info below are assuming that you already have a account on the MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. service, which you want to use. To setup your MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport from Gajim, browse the services available on your Jabber server. To do this, open up the Actions menu, and select the relevant account from the Discover Services menu. If your Jabber server supports a MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport, you should see a section entitled Transports with an MSN/ICQ/AIM/etc. transport service listed. Select the MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport service, and click the Register button. Then you enter your account username (i.e. [email protected] or 123-345-567 etc.) and the password for your account. After setting up your transport as such, logging in and out is a simple matter of right clicking the MSN/ICQ/AIM/Y!M/etc. transport (in the Transports group which shows up in your buddy list), and clicking Log on or Log off. You can remove the transport by removing it from your roster (right click, Remove from Roster). You can also hide the Transports group by unchecking the Show Transports option in the View menu.
