Google Talk plugin not working

[oneself]

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:

}
]

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.
