Friends is not a replacement for Google Talk. Friends does not connect
to Google Talk at all. In fact, Friends does not connect to any Google
technologies. Friends and Empathy are unrelated components that don't
interact in any way. Friends downloads messages from things like
Facebook and Twitter, it's a social media client. Empathy is an instant
messenger client, it would connect to Google Talk or Jabber or MSN
messenger or similar.

That screenshot identifies a UnicodeDecodeError happening in friends-
dispatcher, but does not contain enough information for me to actually
resolve the problem. What I need you to do is click on the 'Continue'
button and actually submit that error report. You might also want to
check the 'Ignore future errors of this type' checkbox, since it seems
to be happening to you a lot.

I also vaguely recall fixing a bug like this recently, so please update
your system to all the latest packages and that might resolve the issue.
Or if we're unlucky it might be a new issue.
