[SOLVED] Trying to get Google+ "hangout" working on Arch....

jayd3e · 2011-07-11 01:14:26

So like the rest of the world, I just joined Google+. In order to use the "hangouts" feature of Google+, you have to download the Google" voice and video chat" plugin. Anyone know how to get this working within an Arch environment I'm tired of switching between windows and arch just to use it.

I don't use google+ but are you looking for this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=40056

Ummm possibly, I'll have to check it out, there is mention of Google+ in the comments so that is a good sign.

Just to wrap this up, the above package from the AUR does work for Google+.

Did you do anything else other than install the aur package? For some reason, google hangout still prompts me to download the plugin even after installation.

Maybe open a new thread with the problem, since the gtalk plugin has some problems with linux and some video cards as can be seen here

Not going well with this but grateful of course:-)

I don't seem to know enough to resolve?:

package() {

python setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" --optimize=1 || return 1
}

Of course any comments will be appreciated:-)

karenslfs,

Please open a new thread. This three year old thread had been marked solved and is probably unrelated to your issue. Closing
