Hi,
I'm using Siduction 64 bit, and the Google Talk plugin has stopped working. My system is up to date, and I've tested both Chrome and Firefox. When I join a Google Hangout it launches correctly, but then hangs.
Looking at ~/.config/google-googletalkplugin/gtbplugin.log, I can see the following:
[000:006] Warning(clientchannel.cc:437): Could not initiate GoogleTalkPlugin connection
[000:006] GoogleTalkPlugin not running. Starting new process...

Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thank you
Is no one else seeing this? Can I reinstall something somehow?
This turned out to be a libudev problem. It seems I had two versions installed for some reason. Removing libudev0 solved the problem. My version of chrome depended on that version, so I had to reinstall that as well.
$ dpkg --get-selections | grep -i libudev
libudev0:amd64 install
libudev0:i386 deinstall
libudev1:amd64 install
libudev1:i386 install
$ apt-get remove google-chrome-beta
$ apt-get remove libudev0
$ dpkg -i ./google-chrome-beta_current_amd64.deb
Thanks for posting how you solved the problem. I haven't used the Google talk plugin in a while, so, it's nice to have answers before I use it next.
