Description Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-18 07:06:12 UTC
Created attachment 283719 [details]
Output of emerge --info.

I've installed www-plugins/google-talkplugin and gmail (and google+) are not seeing it. When starting the applicat ion it asks to install it. When I run:
/opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgoogletalk64.so or
/opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so
I got 'Segmantation fault'. There is no error when
/opt/google/talkplugin/GoogleTalkPlugin
is run (there is no output at all)

I use www-client/chromium-13.0.107 as a browser (but this, I think, is irrelevant due to seg fault).

Best,
Marcin Szamotulski

Can you check "ldd /opt/google/talkplugin/*" for "not found" messages?

Comment 3 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-18 08:20:47 UTC
There are no not found messages in ldd output.
Comment 4 Julien Sanchez archtester 2011-08-18 09:59:32 UTC
Do you have "Google Talk Plugin (2 files)" displayed in about:plugins page and is it enabled?

I have the same segmentation fault when directly executing(??) the library but I don't think it's the right way to test it because it is functional on my system (except the video, audio is fine).
Comment 5 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-18 11:20:06 UTC
Yes, I do have "Google Talk Plugin (2 files)" enabled in about:plugins page.
Comment 6 Julien Sanchez archtester 2011-08-19 06:54:22 UTC
Odd. Normally, you should be able to test it by following instructions here: http://www.google.com/support/chat/bin/answer.py?answer=162174

Have you ever tested it in firefox?
Comment 8 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-19 08:01:08 UTC
I cannot follow the instruction: http://www.google.com/support/chat/bin/answer.py?answer=162174, simply because I have no 'Verify your settings' in 'Chat settings'. In 'Chat settings' I have only:
Voice and video Chat: Make voice and video calls to friends and family right from Gmail. It's free and installs in seconds.

Yes, I tried with firefox as well with no success as well.

Thanks for help.

That basically means the plug-in is for some reason not recognized by the browser.
Do you have a mixture of 32-bit browser and 64-bit plug-in?
Comment 10 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-19 10:10:01 UTC
I didn't do anything special to install chrome, so I guess I have 64bit version. The 'about:' web page shows:
Chromium	13.0.782.107 (Developer Build 0)
OS	Linux
WebKit	535.1 (unknown@0)
JavaScript	V8 3.3.10.22

User Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.782.107 Safari/535.1
Command Line	 chromium-browser --extra-plugin-dir=/usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

Comment 11 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-08-19 21:42:31 UTC
There is an issue in google about my problem:
http://www.google.com/support/chat/bin/static.py?page=known_issues.cs&ki_topic=24941&issue=180388&bucket=25267&hl=en&action=report

The work around there is to delete the file googletalkplugin_port file, I tried to remove the file /opt/google/talkplugin/GoogleTalkPlugin but this was not working for me. Google is not specifying which is the googletalkplugin_port file under Linux. This was just my guess based on the file name under Windows and MacOs.

Does the problem still persist with google-talkplugin-2.3.2.0 ?
Comment 13 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-09-14 18:52:43 UTC
Unfortunately, this problem still occurs with google-talkplugin-2.3.2.0.
Comment 14 Cyril 2011-09-19 21:04:45 UTC
same problem here but 

ldd ... : libpng12.so.0 => not found

reemerging media-libs/libpng:1.2

solve the problem
Comment 15 tdr 2011-11-08 16:23:44 UTC
I had crashing when using the plugin with firefox and had the references to libpng12.so.0. not found when it crashed running in a terminal.  The ldd output did not say it was missing, but it wasn't found when loading firefox/plugins.

emerge -1 libpng:1.2

[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/libpng-1.2.46  0 kB

Rebuiling libpng:1.2 fixed the problem here.

Does the problem still persist with google-talkplugin-2.4.5.0 ?
Comment 17 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-11-16 10:03:51 UTC
The error is still present in goolg-talkplugin-2.4.5.0 .
Comment 18 Fabio Correa 2011-11-16 13:03:08 UTC
Hello; I confirm the issue is solved by the libpng:1.2 dependency, which is included in the ebuilds already; I suggest closing this bug.
Comment 19 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-11-16 13:30:31 UTC
I do not have any missing library (including libpng). The plugin is not working in both www-client/google-chrome-16.0.912.36_beta109393 and  www-client/firefox-7.0.1-r1.

Stupid question: Have you ever reemerged libpng:1.2 ?
Comment 21 Marcin Szamotulski 2011-11-16 18:30:51 UTC
Yes, and it did not help me.
Comment 22 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-23 00:07:50 UTC
@Marcin: Any news on the issue?
Comment 23 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-05-25 17:24:49 UTC
@Marcin: Any news with version 2.9.10.0 ?
Comment 24 Marcin Szamotulski 2012-05-25 19:31:39 UTC
I don't have access to internet with my laptop right now. I'll check it out as soon as possible. Thanks for the reminders.
Comment 25 Christoph Junghans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-16 19:07:26 UTC
It seems to be obsolete, reopen if it still persists.
