Also I had to go into the Advanced Settings and Override the server settings with “chat.facebook.com” and Port “5222″.

Steven–I still had to follow this process to get Empathy to work for me on Ubuntu 10.04.

Just a tip–if you, for whatever reason, have an aversion to creating a username, you can use the ID number that links to your profile (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=63209097989) as “u63209097989@chat.facebook.com” and it should work (changing the numbers for your profile but keeping the “u”).

In Empathy on Ubuntu 10.04 (still in beta right now) there is a Facebook connection type. Just give it your UN and PW and it works fine.

I found that even though I used Camel Case when I set up my user name, Facebook wouldn’t authorize it unless I used lower case. Try that.
