I have recently installed ubuntu 10.04. The distro seems so much better than that I have before (8.1). Anyway after some days of trying I can say that ekiga doesn't work with 10.04. While I was perfectly able to use ekiga with 8.1, the 10.04 gives me connections problems.... it simply say says "Could not register (Failed)"
how to set a sip account (sip.12voip.com) with empathy??
I have recently installed ubuntu 10.04. After some days of trying I can say that ekiga doesn't work with 10.04. With the same computer I was perfectly able to use ekiga with ubuntu 8.1, the 10.04 gives me connections problems.... it simply say says "Could not register (Failed)".I'm trying to connect with my voip provider (12voip.com) but it seems that I can't. I have even tried other programs like empathy, Twinkle, QuteCom but with none of them I can connect with my voIP provider. I think there are some connection problems but I really don't know how to face them. We have to configure router in 10.04 for sip connection? Actually I can't phone at all.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm trying, reeeeally trying to use Ekiga. But the video quality is horrible. So I started messing with the settings, lo-and-behold I find info about h.264 and how fantastic it is. Well, I say to myself, let's try that on for size.
What? No h.264 option in Ekiga. That's weird, especially considering they have supported it since 3.0 and I'm using the version in the Karmic repos, 3.2.5. Not free, ok, I'll just install it then, right?
x264 package didn't do it. A little ffmpeg install as well. libavcodec52, which uninstalled a buttload of other stuff also. Even dl'd and installed libopal3.6.4-plugins-non-free. All to no option for the h.264 codec option in Ekiga.
Oddly enough, the libopal non free plugins DID add the iLBC audio codec into Ekiga as on option. Why not h.264? What am I missing? Also, why is this SO difficult? There is not any decent documentation that I can find out there that goes over this. Google has failed me.
All I have in the video codecs is theora and h261.
When I click on the Ekiga menu-item it seems like nothing is happening. So I went into htop and saw the process is running. When I start Ekiga from the command line, nothing happens as well. Then I tried starting Ekiga in debug modus with option -d 5. Still nothing showing up. When I call my VOIP number I can see a call coming in, however there is no ringing sound and no dialogue to pick up the phone.
Then I re-installed by 'aptitude purge ekiga' and then 'aptitude install ekiga'.
I am working on Ubuntu Karmic. The Ekiga version is straight from the repositories: Version: 3.2.5-1ubuntu1.
I hope someone has an idea what to try next.
I am using a NanoStation 2 in Router mode.The NS is connected wirelessly to my neighbor's router and a switch is connect via ethernet to the NS for LAN use.
The past few days I'm trying to use a VoIP client software to connect to my VoIP account.I use Ekiga Softphone to do so, which requires UDP ports 3478-3479 and 5000-5100 to be open.
So I have opened these ports both on my neighbor's router and on the NS.The problem that I'm encountering is that although I manage to register to the VoIP service, when I answer an incoming call the caller is able to hear me, but I'm not able to hear the caller.So I used wireshark and figured that there is no incoming traffic on my end.
I have used many linux VoIP clients with PCs connecting straight forward to an ADSL router and worked perfectly.
I'm trying to set up Empathy to connect to my Ekiga account, so I don't have to have two programs running side by side, but I'm running into some trouble.
In the window for adding accounts in Empathy, there's a drop-down menu for choosing the desired protocol and service. I hear there's supposed to be en "Ekiga" menu option there, but there isn't.
I'm running Empathy 2.30.2 in Lucid.
I am using ekiga 3.2.7 on Natty and I am able to make pc-to-phone calls but I am not getting any sound on my speakers. The person on the other line is able to hear me, but I cannot hear him. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter I installed Lucid on my Netbook, I have different problems with ekiga.
First of all, some information about my ekiga account:
In ekiga I created a SIP-Account with a usual landline phone-number, my voip-provider is 1&1 (in Germany). In ekiga the account is named "Standard%limit", because I cannot register my sip-account without the "%limit". If I leave the "%limit" out, I get the message "Could not register (Forbidden)", but here on ubuntuforums (or maybe on launchpad) I read about the "%limit" as a workaround. Maybe it has something to do with my problem, I don't know.
Now, this is my problem:
Ekiga does not accept incoming phone calls after a few minutes after launching ekiga. Well, let me describe it this way: Usually ekiga plays a ringtone and shows a message whenever there is an incoming call. However, ekiga only behaves as described and expected just after launching ekiga. A few minutes later, lets say five or ten minutes, ekiga does not accept incoming calls anymore. I tested it with my mobile phone - when I call myself on the landline with my mobile phone, I expect ekiga to play the ringtone and show a message that there is an incoming call. However, ekiga does not do anything and after a few seconds the call is terminated automatically. But it is not the same as if ekiga is not running because if ekiga is not running I get the message that the subscriber is not available.
I have an Acer Aspire One netbook and have tried to enable my microphone without any luck. Surprisingly the Sound Recorder works perfectly but skype and ekiga are not able to transfer my voice. I have tried playing around with gnome ALSA mixer and PulseAudio Volume Control but nothin changes.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am not getting very good sound from skype. I wondered if Ekiga was better than skype so I have:
Installed it.
Obtained a sip address.
adjusted the ports on my router as below
set up the user by way of the configuration assistant.
And still I see nothing and hear nil. I am not getting an error message. When I run the test address it immediately reports it is done. I set up the H232 account.
Each of the following port ranges were translated to the same ranges:
TCP 1720-1720
UDP 5000-5100
TCP 30000-30000
What have I left out of the configuration?
is there anyway to use cheese or ekiga to talk to someone with skype? is there anyway for a microsoft computer to use cheese or ekiga?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to use ekiga on fedora 10 with a windoz pc running netmeeting.
The windoz pcs can talk / see each other on netmeeting. But when I try from my linux box (using this as the address "h323:192.1.1.12" ), I get connected but the window shows my own local end video and there is no voice even from the other side. The other side gets my call notification and on accepting the call doesn't observe / hear anything either.
Can someone tell me where is the problem ?
I had tried searching the forum for related sound help but to no avail. Thus i posted here in hope to get help.
I had been using fedora 12 since it release and been working wonderfully. Untill my last 2 update, my Voip softphone like twinkle, ekiga and linphone somehow have no sound out from speaker.
1. i can play all video and music with sound coming out from my laptop inbuilt speaker.
2. for twinkle, ekiga and linphone, there's no sound out from my laptop inbuilt speaker.That means, when i call a person, that person can hear me talking (my mic working good) but when he talk i am unable to hear him as no sound coming out from the speaker.
Note: i had call multiple different people and the result is the same.
I am on Gnome desktop with PusleAudio install and running since the releae of F12.
Skype works fine on openSUSE 11.2, but I'd like to use another application with a more open protocol (SIP) for PC-to-PC calls. Ekiga seems to be what I'm looking for, but I have a problem with audio. When I launch the echo test call, video is displayed correctly (I see myself), but I can't hear anything (I guess I am supposed to hear a ring, and maybe some instructions?...). Nothing seems to be recorded either. I tried all the different audio settings in Preferences/Audio - no luck.
I searched for some information on the web but couldn't really find anything. The troubleshooting test (arecord -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE - | aplay -D plughw:0,0 -c 1 -r 8000 -f S16_LE -) from [URL] works fine. So what to look for? Does anyone here use ekiga successfully? How did you configure your audio? Or would you recommend another SIP client?
I just download source code of ekiga at address [URL]. I want to develop it, I compiled it in ubuntu successful, now I want to develop it in window platform by visual studio 2008 but I don't, can I can make environment for window and import it to visual studio 2008 to debug.
View 8 Replies View Relatedi just had to switch from 10 to 11 until 12 comes out, and after setting up asterisk, i noticed VERY VERY BAD sound quality, mostly comprised of severe jittering. I noticed that the way Fedora lets you work with your sound devices in 11 is way different (nicer, but obviously not complete) than ever before, and i am using the same asterisk configs as before, so i'm positive that this is NOT an asterisk issue, and does NOT really belong in this forum; however, only asterisk users will be able to replicate or identify with this issue.
Have any of you 11 users had this happen to you, and if so, did you figure out how to solve it? I'm sure that i can *try* adjusting asterisks jitter buffer settings, but like i said, it was NEVER an issue before 11... Another clue would be that i cannot get crap like gtk-recordmydesktop to produce sound (but that may very well be another issue; however i doubt it)...
I was looking for a software to use for VOIP calls and I tried Ekiga (since Empathy does not seem to work at all for VOIP) I installed, checked the sound settings and all worked fine. I setup the first account I have with my SIP provider and it worked fine. The I setup another account I have with the same SIP provider. The settings have been tested time and time again and they are correct. Both account work perfectly on a windows machine with X-lite, but on Ekiga, with the second account, I cannot make any calls because I get the "security check failed" message. yet the settings are correct and they are the same for both accounts (apart from username and password of course). Unregistering from one account and registering into the other does not make any difference. It just does not want to play nice. if anyone has a better suggestion for VOIP calls.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted some input on chronic problems with Ubuntu:
1. Why does wireless almost never work right on Ubuntu?
2. Why, when Ubuntu just decides to turn off my wireless card, can I not just turn it back on?
3. Why do tar balls almost never unpack right?
4. Why are printer drivers so buggy?
5. Why do my MP3 players and digital cameras not work with Ubuntu?
I spent 3 hours last night trying to unpack a tar.bz2 file so I can run my Ralink network card. It worked fine until my son unplugged my computer. Now my card is disconnected and it will not reconnect. When I check forums no one has a simple answer for something as simple as turning a network card back on. On my Apple, it's simple: click my wireless icon and hit "on." tell me an easy way to just turn my wireless card back on, it would renew my faith a little in Linux.
When I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

I'm not to sure this is the place I should post this, but couldn't find any place for it to fit. So here is the deal..I am running 10.10 with the standard LAMP setup. I am running a drupal 7 site no problems. What I need to do is run a multi site sub directory. (domain.com/newsite). So far the best I can do is get a directory index of the second site (domain.com/newsite), but cant run the installer. (I did the symbolic link to the doc root of the drupal install.)If I type in the url domain.com/newsite/install.php I get not found. I placed an index.html test page and it renders fine. I think I'm close but just not there yet.
Any ideas from anyone? I can get Sobdomains to work fine on a test mache, but sadly I need the domain/site to work due to lack of DNS support at the moment. I tried to get some info from the drupal forum, but everything always points to subdomin setups. I also posted over there, but it seems like the forums have very little support and are a bit on the slow side.

I'm having trouble getting compiz to work on my Laptop. It worked for a while and then I turned on Shift Switcher and a message popped up saying..."The new value for the button binding for the action Terminate in plugin Shift Switcher conflicts with the action Zoom Window of the Scale Addons plugin. Do you wish to disable Zoom Window in the Scale Addons plugin?" I was given the option of Set Terminate anyway, Don't set Terminate, and Disable Zoom Window. I clicked Don't set Terminate and ever since the only thing that works in compiz are the bindings in the general options. I've used synaptic to completely remove and then reinstall compiz but the problem persist. Something else weird, all of the changes I made are still there, even after complete removal, but they don't work?

I then rebooted the system, and once again I am stuck with the default desktop, and not the Unity interface. I checked the software center, and it says Unity IS in fact installed..
