Google-talkplugin is not working for me on Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) 64-bit, I have reinstalled the system many times to get it to work but still it doesn't.
The problem is not with AppArmor as I have checked it with strace firefox.
Anyone else has it? Do you have any ideas & workarounds? What can I do to help fix it as I couldn't find a Google bug tracker for the plugin?
It works for me in Chrome but I had to enable all plugins: Settings->Privacy->Content Settings->Plugins->Run Automatically. I set this when I want to make a call, then set to to "Click To Play" when browsing the web.
I have not tried Firefox so I can't help you there.
This used to work in Chromium, but I was never able to get it to work in Chromium after I upgraded to 12.10. However, when I installed Chrome it works. I'm not sure why.
You can tell the difference between Chrome and Chromium because of the application icons. Chrome is in colour and Chromium is all shades of blue.
If the google talk plugin is flash based, you may be having problems with the new version of flash.
Not guaranteed to fix your problem, but try disabling the latest version of flash (will default to 11.2 instead).
about:plugins in the url barTry removing cheese if it is instaled. Google-talkplugin should work fine after that.
Make sure you enable pop-ups, since the video call appears in a pop-up window.
Settings->Privacy->Content Settings->Pop-ups->Allow all sites to show pop-ups.
