Install facebook plugin in pidgin on ubuntu hardy 8.04

If you usually using facebook as your social utility to connect to your friends, you should know about chat feature in facebook. In this article, i just want to share my experience how to make facebook chat feature accessed from pidgin in linux especially on ubuntu hardy 8.04.
First of all, is downloading the pidgin-facebook package from code.google.com. If you using pidgin on your Ubuntu hardy like me you must install libjson-glib manually first because it’s require by facebook-pidgin. I’m download libjson-glib package from interpid library here cause there is no package for hardy.

For amd64 : download from one of mirror on this site

For i386 : download from one of mirror on this site


After download the package , install using this command :
For amd64

sudo dpkg -i libjson-glib-1.0-0_0.6.2-3_amd64.deb

or in i386

sudo dpkg -i libjson-glib-1.0-0_0.6.2-3_i386.deb

After that, install the pidgin-facebook package using this command :

sudo dpkg -i pidgin-facebookchat-1.52.deb

Now restart your pidgin, and try add new account, you will find in protocol that there is facebook protocol. Just input your username, about 5 second ( it’s up to your connection ) there will be a prompt to accept the certificate… and you ready to chat :D

I have test pidgin-facebook on ubuntu jaunty ( 9.04 ). We must install libjson-glib manually too. But this time we no need to download from packages.ubuntu.com . We just need to use this command :

sudo apt-get install libjson-glib.
