I've started using hangups https://github.com/tdryer/hangups

It's a google hangouts (not gtalk, but actual hangouts) terminal app written in python.

You can install it in Ubuntu with

#Ensure you have python pips installed
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install python-pip

pip3 install hangups
