Psi como alternativa Linux a Google Talk (GTalk)
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Psi is a solid Linux alternative for anyone who used Google Talk mainly for XMPP‑based text chat and basic presence. It covers the core messaging functions, supports group chats, file transfers and encryption, and runs natively on all major distributions. Users who need tight integration with Google services or a built‑in voice call client will find it lacking, but for standard instant‑messaging it works well. It’s best suited for users comfortable with configuring XMPP accounts and who prefer a lightweight, open‑source client.

Abrir tus archivos de Google Talk (GTalk)
Google Talk did not use a proprietary archive format; chat histories were stored locally in the client’s own files. Psi stores its logs in plain text or SQLite, so there is no direct import/export path. If you have exported logs from Google Talk, you would need to convert them manually; otherwise the compatibility is unknown.
Pasar de Google Talk (GTalk) a Psi, paso a paso
- Install Psi from your distribution’s repository (apt, pacman, dnf, etc.).
- Create a new XMPP account in Psi using your existing Google username (e.g., user@gmail.com).
- Enter your Google password or an app‑specific password if two‑factor authentication is enabled.
- Configure the server as talk.google.com with TLS on port 5222.
- Import any saved chat logs manually if you have them in a supported format.
- Test sending a message and, if needed, set up an external VoIP plugin for voice calls.

Cómo instalar Psi en Linux
sudo apt install psisudo apt install psisudo dnf install psisudo pacman -S psiPreguntas frecuentes
Can Psi connect to a Google account after GTalk was discontinued?
Yes, you can still log in with a Google username using the XMPP server talk.google.com, but Google may limit features and newer authentication methods may require an app password.
Does Psi support voice calls like GTalk did?
Voice calling is not included by default; you would need an additional plugin or a separate VoIP client that works with XMPP.
Will my contacts automatically sync from Google Talk?
Psi will pull the contact list from the XMPP server, but it won’t sync Google‑specific groups or labels; you may need to rebuild any custom groups manually.
