A soft link would work, of course.

This post is pretty old (November 2 years ago), since then I’ve been using succesfully Empathy and Pidgin for both audio and video chat over GTalk (although sometimes video hangs).

Could you make a soft link to the “Google Talk Plugin” folder instead? Have any better solutions appeared since before? My webcam isn’t recognized by Skype.

well.. regarding my previous post.. I guess I was wrong.. those files have to be in both folders..

@alfar: thanks for the tip.

Last week I tried gtalk voice in Empathy and then Pidgin in ubuntu 9.10, both worked fine for me, so there is no need to do this hacking any more.

Anyway, due to Linux Chromium popularity, I think that Google will son release a native Linux version of the plugin.

in ubuntu 9.10 the GoogeTalk files from the windows installation should be copied into the following folder:

~/.wine/drive_c/users/

It’s working again, without changing the setup.

I believe Google has updated Voice & Video because it stopped working & I now get a menu item for “new” voice & video.

Have others had the same experience? Any solution?

Thanks.
