http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8849559
Facebook recently released XMPP support for Facebook Chat to allow users to directly add Facebook Chat to clients like Pidgin without the need of workarounds. They also provided instructions (as a part of their new site tour) for setting up Facebook Chat in pidgin:
- Go to "Accounts" and select "Manage Accounts."
- On the Basic tab, enter the following info:
Protocol: XMPP
Username: <your Facebook username> (i.e. ambrosa )
Domain: chat.facebook.com
Resource: Pidgin
Password: <your Facebook password>
Local alias: <your Facebook name> (i.e. ambrosa ) - Click the Advanced tab, then enter the following info:
Connect port: 5222
Connect server: chat.facebook.com
(Uncheck the box labeled "Require SSL/TLS")
