Google Voice Plugin in Arch

Sorry about this but my searches (including AUR[1]) didn't turn anything in... How do you install the google voice plugin in Arch? I can unpack their deb (thru deb2targz) and see the files inside, but I can't figure out what file goes exactly where

I'm using both Opera, Chromium, and Firefox (mostly Chromium).

Thanks in advance

I installed this just yesterday.  I've got google voice working on Ubuntu, but my Arch install is having issues with sound atm.

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

Anybody using the gmail call feature - http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/c … gmail.html - on Arch. The voice and chat plugin provided by Google is a deb package. Has anybody managed to get this to work on Arch?

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

I just installed it from AUR and it works perfectly.  On the Settings > Chat tab in gmail, you can check if your webcam is detected and also test video and audio.

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

huge: which package did you install from AUR?
I searched for packages and there are some: googletalk, google-talkplugin, gvcall and maybe there are more.
which of them works on firefox?

No pidgin doesn't support this yet. I think empathy might. Don't quote me on that.

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

The Microphone doesn't work for me. In the gmail settings>chat>voice and video dropdown for microphone I see no such selection for the microphone. Anyone else have issues with this?

See this :  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=982212

I have to explicitly load soundcore for my mic to work. Put it in the MODULES array in rc.conf

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

I tried modprobing soundcore but it didn't do anything. Any other ideas? When I test the sound in the gmail settings, I hear a ringing sound when the appropriate driver is selected. Then, when I save the settings and try to make a call, there is no sound at all no ringing). If I return to the settings, it seems that the setting is not saved and the drop down is set back to "default device".

Have you successfully made calls in gmail chat inxsible? I do recall this working for me before... back in Gnome 2. Hmmm...

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

im using chromium and when i try to start a call, it gives me the "click here to add voice/video chat" thing.. I've been trying to get skype working for the past year on Arch, and still no luck... its a pain in the ass. Keep this thread alive, its an issue that alot of people are having.

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

I could only use google talk plugin without pulseaudio.
so if you have pulseaudio installed lose it and use alsa only.
it should work

Re: Google Voice Plugin in Arch

Is anybody here having problems with sound? I verified that video and my mic work with google-talkplugin, but I cannot get any sound through my speakers or jack when making a call (although at the same time sound works everywhere else).
