Office Communicator via Pidgin for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Installed Pidgin from repository on Ubuntu 12.04...

Added SIPE plugin from here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/pidgin-sipe/1.11.2-1ubuntu1

Project screen shots are here:
http://sipe.sourceforge.net/screens/

I was running a live DVD so even though newer versions were available it complicated the dependencies and I was in a hurry... so I loaded this version.

Under Basic Tab:
Listed SIP account as the username.
Login:  Used my AD account and PW

Under Advanced I changed email address if different from login name to match my actual email address.


How to fix libnss3 error on Ubuntu 12.04

google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb















Answer was to satisfy the dependencies by running:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libgconf2-4 libnss3-1d libxss1
 
then:
download chrome for linux from here:
https://www.google.com/chrome?brand=CHMO#eula

then:
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
