Public bug reported: Unlike previous versions of Ubuntu Unity, I'm unable to install the google-talk-plugin in Ubuntu 16.04, which it (the deb) can be downloaded here: https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin
After downloading, I open the deb file from Firefox and it launches the gnome-software package (used in Unity now). The first time I click the install button in gnome-software, I notice a strange repositioning of the layout, but nothing else happens. Clicking the install button a second time put a question-mark-progress-launcher onto the launcher (task) bar, but it never progresses: http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-04-22_001_1262x740.png So far, no one has offered a workaround: http://askubuntu.com/questions/760305/how-to-install-google-hangouts-plugin-in-ubuntu-16-04 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: gnome-software 3.20.1+git20160420.1.ca63436.ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Apr 22 01:02:45 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-22 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) SourcePackage: gnome-software UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Description changed: - Unlike previous versions of Ubuntu Unity, I'm unable to install the google-talk-plugin in Ubuntu 16.04, which can it (the deb) can be downloaded here: + Unlike previous versions of Ubuntu Unity, I'm unable to install the google-talk-plugin in Ubuntu 16.04, which it (the deb) can be downloaded here: https://www.google.com/tools/dlpage/hangoutplugin After downloading, I open the deb file from Firefox and it launches the gnome-software package (used in Unity now).
