Ubuntu

Google Talk Plugin re-install

Asked by Rick Miller

 I'm not sure where I should have posted this. Perhaps someone could direct me?

Recently, my laptop got a "pop-up" stating Google Talk Plugin had crashed. I did a bit of searching and came up with this:

                                    http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2013/07/install-google-talk-ubuntu-official-repository/

   I followed the steps and, so far, it is working again.

Hope this helps you as well. [Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit]

Rick

Direct you to post what where? If the plugin continues to crash, try running the browser in a terminal to get more detailed output. It's not an Ubuntu-supplied package, so you would have to take it up with Google. https://support.google.com/talk/#

I hope that was a good answer, because I'm not really sure what the question is here?? :P

A word of caution:

The command

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-talkplugin.list'

should be done only once. Re-executing that command will add a second line with identical contents to the google-talkplugin sources.list with the effect that the command "sudo apt-get update" ends with warnings about duplicate sources.

Can you help with this problem?
