Hello!
Is there any way to get google voice/video chat plugin working on OpenSuse 12.1 (64-bit)?
I get the following error while trying to install the rpm:
>> nothing provides libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so needed by google-talkplugin-2.5.6.0-1.x86_64
I just noticed that also. Hopefully someone can figure this out. I tried to google it, but only found .deb documentation from 2010.
It appears the version I downloaded today google-talkplugin-2.5.6.0-1.x86_64 is from a new build 2 days ago. I think I may have the last version on a different laptop. I will check and see. If I have it, and if it works, I will let you know.
OK working version is 2.4.5.0-1 which I do have installed on a different hardrive. I have no idea how to move it or get the file. Need to copy it as root to a usb key or something. Is there a way via YaST to the whole rpm to usb key?
Since I am not that adept, I will wait a bit to see what we find out.
Why do you think it will work on this system? Do you have 12.1 installed on the second hard drive?
@aectann, I do have 12.1 and Gnome 3.2.1 on the other hard drive. As soon as 12.1 came out, I installed it to test it out on a hard drive that has bad sectors on it, so I used it as a test. It worked great, so I put it on my good (new) hard drive just a few hours ago and noticed the gtalk plug in is a now a different version. So I have one that works, I just do not know the commands in terminal to get to it as root and move it to a usb key or something. So either someone has to chime in with an easy fix, show me how to do it, or we wait. At least I know there is a version that will work.
Okay, I’ve figured it out. It looks like the problem is due to malformed google’s rpm. The libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so is actually provided by rpm itself. So just download the rpm and say zypper to install it, ignoring dependencies:
zypper in google-talkplugin_current_x86_64.rpm
When it will ask about a solution to the missing dependency:
Problem: google-talkplugin-2.5.6.0-1.x86_64 requires libnpgtpo3dautoplugin.so, but this requirement cannot be provided
uninstallable providers: google-talkplugin-2.5.6.0-1.i386[_tmpRPMcache_]
Solution 1: do not install google-talkplugin-2.5.6.0-1.x86_64
Solution 2: break google-talkplugin by ignoring some of its dependencies
Select solution 2.
Everything seems to work here so far.
@aectann, SWEET! It worked! Thank you so much for the help! Clearly I was going about it the hard way. lol
Thank you for sharing this information. I added the repository and attempted to install with the following results:
Problem: nothing provides libgdk-1.2.so.0 needed by jitsi-1.0.beta1.nightly.build.3689-2.1.x86_64
Solution 1: do not install jitsi-1.0.beta1.nightly.build.3689-2.1.x86_64
Solution 2: break jitsi by ignoring some of its dependencies
Alas, at least for now, Jitsi is not a solution.
Hi. I am relatively new to Linux. When I tried zypper in terminal, I’v got this: zypper in google-talkplugin_current_x86_64.rpm
Root privileges are required for installing or uninstalling packages.
What is the code to get it.
Thanks
You need to enter your su, or admin password that you’ve created during the OS installation. The code only you know it, none of us here do.

Promote yourself to root. Run “su -” on that terminal before zypper.

Great! Exactly what I needed. Should use word ‘command’ not a ‘code’ in my question. Thanks a lot.
