I recently started working on a project with a remote developer and we want to be able to talk verry easy over VOIP. We are both on ubuntu and have tried using skype, but it gets all kinds of weird errors and the mic isnt working.

What alternatives do you guys use to talk over the internet. I found this service https://voxli.com/ that allows you to easily create a chat online but it does not suport linux :(

I think GTalk works on linux... Look at Tapioca
Look at the Telepathy client for gnome.

Here is a link to the GTalk client reference page.
And the Pidgin FAQ.

Try Pidgin first.

When you care about being able talk to multiple developers at once I would recommend Teamspeak or Mumble (Ubuntu has packages for both). Both provide excellent audio quality and I found them much less troublesome then the classic VOIP solutions.

Support for voice and video was recently added to Pidgin

I've heard Ekiga is quite good. I've never tried it, though.
