It works on my eeebox (x86) with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.49. -Which version of nvidia-drivers is it? -Have you tried the nouveau driver instead of nvidia-drivers? -Did the trick from bug #402401 help? $echo "O3D_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE=2D" >> /opt/google/talkplugin/envvars (In reply to comment #1) > -Which version of nvidia-drivers is it? currently nvidia-drivers-302.17 but as mentioned this has been going on through various versions > -Have you tried the nouveau driver instead of nvidia-drivers? no, not interested in losing performance > -Did the trick from bug #402401 help? > $echo "O3D_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE=2D" >> /opt/google/talkplugin/envvars didn't try that as i don't have that bug, rendering of remote video, etc. has always been fine - the hangout effects just don't work (In reply to comment #1) > -Did the trick from bug #402401 help? > $echo "O3D_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE=2D" >> /opt/google/talkplugin/envvars i did just try that with no success, hangout effects are not visible (In reply to comment #2) > (In reply to comment #1) > > -Which version of nvidia-drivers is it? > currently nvidia-drivers-302.17 but as mentioned this has been going on > through various versions > > > -Have you tried the nouveau driver instead of nvidia-drivers? > no, not interested in losing performance That is your decision and as I am using nvidia-drivers myself I can understand it. But as it works for me and the google-talkplugin package is a binary package there is not much I can do. Maybe your issue is known on http://support.google.com/chat/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs, otherwise post it there. I will add an elog message in the same way as I have done it for ati-driver in the next bump. > > -Did the trick from bug #402401 help? > > $echo "O3D_OVERRIDE_RENDER_MODE=2D" >> /opt/google/talkplugin/envvars > > didn't try that as i don't have that bug, rendering of remote video, etc. > has always been fine - the hangout effects just don't work (In reply to comment #4) > That is your decision and as I am using nvidia-drivers myself I can > understand it.

I understand there's nothing you can do with the binary package, was just hoping something might ring a bell as to why I see this issue. Is it because I use a Logitech USB camera? Is there something missing in my kernel config? Is there a dependency for the plugin that isn't installed? Is my xorg.conf getting in the way? Basically there doesn't seem to a whole lot of others with this issue. It's a bit distressing :) (In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #4) > > That is your decision and as I am using nvidia-drivers myself I can > > understand it.

(In reply to comment #6) > Is the camera showing up in gmail -> setting -> chat -> Voice & Video Chat? Yes, camera works fine for video chats as well as G+ hangouts. Also works with Cheese - except the Cheese effects turn everything purple.

(In reply to comment #8) > I did a version bump, can you please try with version 3.2.4.0 (9999 is just > pointing to the latest version). No change. Also the resolution from my camera seems to really suffer with the plugin. THe Logitech C525 is 1280x720 but looks nowhere close to that in the hangouts or video chats. I'm in the same boat, and have a very similar setup like Chris: - nvidia-drivers-304.37 (GeForce GTX 570) - google-talkplugin-3.2.4.0 - Logitech C920 Everything is working fine in the G+ hangouts (including screen sharing) except for hangout effects, I see other people's effects but I don't see any effect on myself, and other people don't see any effects on me either. I wonder if somehow the code that is supposed to be doing facial recognition is interacting badly with this setup. Someone else with the same problem reported over a month ago and this is still unconfirmed? (In reply to comment #11) > Someone else with the same problem reported over a month ago and this is > still unconfirmed? Ok, but I can't do much for you. Any news from your side. How about the new version? Still the same here - no version provides hangout effects. If it isn't the binary what can it be? Still trying to get to the bottom of this. The hangout effects work fine with virtually identical hardware running Ubuntu. Today I installed the nouveau drivers just to see if that made a difference in case it was an nVidia driver issue. Still no hangout effects. At this point (although I may be wrong) I don't think it's a problem with the google-talkplugin binary or the graphics drivers (both nVidia and Nouveau fail) or Chromium (since it fails on Firefox as well). Only leaves so many things it can be: 1) a run depend for all of the google-talkplugin stuff to work that isn't included in the ebuild and therefore not installed 2) a kernel configuration option set or unset that affects this issue 3) a necessary kernel module not being built and/or loaded 4) some other configuration issue I could really use some help troubleshooting this further. Thank you. Yesterday my nVidia card went titsup and it became necessary to run off the Intel video built into the CPU. Problem still remains and nVidia is now completely in the clear.

Fixes Google Effects
I noticed some files were not being installed, so I added them. "libgoogletalkremoting.so" is for remote-access, I believe. I didn't test that, but I added it just in case. The data directory is what makes the Google Effects work. Party on.
