[Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

I've googled around trying to find an existing posting of this latest development, that the Google Talk Video Chat is finally available for Linux, but didn't see anything. I'm using Arch Linux 64-bit, but the file they provide is a deb, and 32-bit at that. The link to download the file is:

http://dl.google.com/linux/direct/googl … t_i386.deb

I do have an Arch32 chroot so I wouldn't mind having to use a 32-bit browser to use this.

Hopefully someone nice will package this for me?

This would indeed be awesome. Is it even possible?

Google has now officially blogged about it here:

Yes, it's amazing that a Linux version has finally seen the light of day .

I already saw the blog post. I meant would it be possible to make a package.

Looks like the package from AUR seems to work. At least the video settings page in gmail now works..

Re: [Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

Google just released it about an hour ago.

It's only in .deb for now (with RPM coming) but hopefully we'll get the source soon or else mebbe I'll try my hand at ripping it apart and creating a PKGBUILD for it...hmm...it's almost the weekend after all.

Re: [Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

It works really well so far! Using the google-talk-video-plugin from AUR.

Re: [Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

This plugin crashes all browsers apart from Opera (which I can't manage to work with the plugin).

You are on a amd64 system, right? It seems to me, that you either installed the wrong pkg (32bit instead) , or there is something fishy with your flash installation, dunno how ubuntu handles multilb installation.

Re: [Request] Google Video Chat Plugin

I have both 32- and 64-bit Flash Player and I tried with each. That LoadPlugin error appeared much earlier. My Google Talk Plugin is 64-bit.
