Re: [orca-list] Got Gwibber to work ... sort of

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

Hi Alex,
Can you exactly guide me to setup pidgin with facebook chat?
I tried this but finally given up.
Please explain every step in details, as I have several attempts from 
pidgin failing.
I go to manage accounts choose protocol as facebook but nothing happens 
even after giving correct user details.
I am using Ubuntu 12.04.
happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
