Just to correct the assertion below: /tmp is writable for all users, typically files downloaded there might have their permissions set to read-only though.

Quite right; I meant the files, not the whole folder.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Does AV chat work with Jabber?

So, I was just wondering - who is your XMPP/Jabber account provider? It just might be that the problem is with the connection in between, not with the application you're using to connect. Indeed. I run my own XMPP server (ejabberd on Ubuntu 10.04 on a Bytemark VM), so it's entirely possible I've misconfigured something there. I really haven't investigated at all, so anything is possible. Hi all Thanks for the suggestions, but I have had no success so far. Google Hangouts do not work for me. I just get 'Waiting for the Google Talk Plug-in to respond...' or it tells me that someone has joined but I don't see them. Jitsi was so slow as to be unusable. For the record, my Jabber providers are jabber.org and ubuntu-jabber.net, both with user name tony.pursell.
