For Linux Mint versions 17.3 or less, would probably work for Linux Mint 18 as well.Įdited 09-14-2016 because the ".deb" lines below did not display correctly in this forum unless it was in a "code block"Ĭode: Select all sudo apt-get install purple-facebookĥ. " /etc/apt//", and add this line below to it, you can copy and past the line below from here, then save the file, exit the text editor. Create a " jgeboski.list" text file in the following folder How to install the Facebook Chat - messenger client plug-in:ġ. and or a secure SIP (voip) phone client, like the secure "Linphone", or "Ekiga". You can also have more than one messenger program in use on your desktop, like the "Facebook desktop messenger", or the very secure "QTox", "Jitsi", etc. Some support secure audio and video as well as text communications. You can also add multiple type of chat / messenger accounts (Google Hangouts (Talk), Xmpp, Yahoo, etc.) to multi-protocol messenger clients, like those mentioned, so that you can chat with all of them at once through one messenger client. There is also a new stand-alone desktop program "Facebook Messenger Desktop App".Īlthough anyone can just go to the Facebook webpage, it does take up more browser resources and does not always notify you of activity unless you are on the Facebook page, and using a chat / messenger client (desktop application) does not take up a lot of resources, and is out of the way so to speak, but it will notify you when someone wants to communicate, or there is activity, and let you chat with them. You used to be able to use the "facebook xmpp" option, but Facebook stopped using that. If you want to be able to chat with them using a desktop chat program like "Pidgin", or KDE telepathy, Perhaps "Empathy", etc., there is a relatively new plugin called "purple-facebook" that you can install that will allow you to do that. Was not sure whether to put this into the Software section of this forum or here in the chat section.Ī lot of us have relatives, friends, etc. FYI: How to install the new Facebook plug-in, & or the new really nice, easy to install and use, Facebook Desktop Messenger application.
