Kopete als Linux-Alternative zu Google Talk (GTalk)

Aktualisiert am 18. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Kopete can replace Google Talk for basic IM, group chat, file transfer, and presence, but it lacks native VoIP support and modern authentication. It’s suitable for KDE users who need a single‑app multi‑protocol client and are willing to accept the absence of voice calls. For users who relied on GTalk’s voice features, a different VoIP solution will be required.

Ihre Google Talk (GTalk)-Dateien öffnen

Google Talk did not store messages in a local file format that Kopete can import; exported logs from GTalk are usually plain text or proprietary XML, which Kopete can read only if the user manually converts them to a supported format. No direct import feature exists.

Import the CSV/vCard file into Kopete’s contact manager.
Configure file transfer settings and enable notifications.
