There is a deb2targz package in portage that will convert .deb packages to .tar.gz files. Untarring this file to / might do the trick.
Quick first glance shows that it installs a cron script to /etc/cron.daily to configure repositories, might want to get rid of that.

I am interested in this voice chat. How did you see that it tries to install a cron script? Are there any other interesting things it tries to install? The voice works ok?
I know someone few months ago tried to install the plugin in windows and wasn't satisfied. |

if you expand the tarball that is made from the deb2tgz, then you will see
(trying to remember from memory)
/etc/cron.daily/google-voice.something
didnt get a chance to look and see what it does.

Please report how the voice quality is when you try it. |

Extracting the tarball creates these files/directories:
etc/cron.daily/google-talkplugin
opt/google/...
usr/lib/...
usr/share/doc/...
I thought it would be as simple as placing the google dir in /opt and creating the proper plugin symlinks for Firefox (or whatever browser you want to use, I tried in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins), but when I do Firefox crashes.
I'm on amd64, tried the amd64 version of the plugin, using firefox-3.6.8-r1 and www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0, if that matters.

yeah, theres just too much crap that gets expanded.. its not gonna be as simple as dropping the plugin.so into the appropriate directory.

You only need these from the list
| Code: | ./opt/google/
./opt/google/talkplugin/
./opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgoogletalk.so
./opt/google/talkplugin/lib/
./opt/google/talkplugin/lib/libCg.so
./opt/google/talkplugin/lib/libCgGL.so
./opt/google/talkplugin/GoogleTalkPlugin
./opt/google/talkplugin/libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so |
I am on amd64, I had to install nvidia-cg-toolkit, check with ldd if any lib is missing, make symlinks for ibnpgoogletalk.so and libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so to /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins and that will work. I only tested cam and mic in settings but all is working. |

What browser are you using? I'm using Chromium, and the plugin shows in the about:plugins page, but gmail still prompts me to download the plugin
Edit:: Just had a go with Firefox, and got the same results =\ |

I am on intel machine 32 bit. x86.
What you say is a simple rm of the rest of the files?
I don't have nvidia so, I won't need the toolkit.
You ran? |

You ran
Code:
ldd -r -d file
? |
I actually only copied these files from archive, the rest are symlinks for plugins, cron script, debian doc etc. You WILL need nvidia-cg-toolkit, this is a library, no matter you don't have nvidia card. I ran only ldd on all files, GoogleTalkPlugin is 32bit binary so those on amd64 will need some emul* packages. |

Thanks for the clarifications. Will give it a try tomorrow evening. I am curious to know if the sound works well. |

First of all, thanks a lot. Never created an ebuild.
I don't need for a cam. Just voice. All these programs that use cam eat cpu. I remember when I had skype and tried the camera it reached 100% cpu. So, it's not a big surprise about your remark. |

I still have the same problem when using the ebuild =\ .. browser recognizes the plugin, but gmail just doesn't know my browser has the plugin installed |

| I'm on that ebuild right now, but still no luck. I kept Chromium's native task manager open the whole time. Google Talk Plugin didn't show up when i opened it. I browsed to Gmail, and the plugin was activated (It popped up in the task list) and gmail still doesn't recognize that i have the plugin installed =\ |

I've tried both.. Not working in either =\
It makes me sad... On the other hand, it's already a known issue (Don't know if the listed issue is meant to be specific for linux or for other OS's or just in general though)[/url].
I've already clicked the "Report" button. Anyone who has the same problem as me should click that button as well. Maybe it'd put it higher on their priority list. |

Works for me on amd64, thx
This ebuild installed nvidia toolkit while the other one (http://bugs.gentoo.org/333769 -9999 version) did not
Thanks
Marco
EDIT:
This ebuild only works for Chrome. In FF the plugin doesn't show up in the about:plugins

Okay, i finally got it working.
I noticed the problem unintentionally (I had already given up)..
The GoogleTalkPlugin constantly tries to connect to something through port 43677 but it was blocked by my kernel iptables. I just had to enter a rule to accept it, and it works now!
EDIT::
Okay.. nevermind. Opening that port was not a permanent fix.. Apparently, the plugin tries to open a different port every time =\ this time it's 42104 |
