Google talk plugin on the EEEPC 700, just say no!
08/26/10
When Gmail informed me that Google was offering free phone calls to the U.S. and Canada with Google Talk I decided to give it a try and install the google talk Firefox plugin on my EEEPC. Unfortunately after I downloaded and attempted to install google-talkplugin_current_i386.deb the plugin failed to install because of some library dependencies. Even worse after it failed to install Firefox wouldn't start. Double clicking the Firefox icon produced nothing. Running Firefox in a command windows resulted in the following error message:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 611: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
Luckily uninstalling the plugin with the following command got things working again. Well actually I took the long way using dselect but trust me, using dpkg is quicker and much easier to explain.
sudo dpkg -r google-talkplugin
