Ubuntu :: Missing Incoming Sessions In Empathy?
May 17, 2011
This is an odd one, and it's probably just my system - I don't receive half of the new MSN messages I get sent. If I talk to someone and leave the window open, I'll get all of their messages; if I close the window, there's only a 10% chance I'll get their reply.
This happened once before, and telepathy-logger was having a fit; it's not this time. Has anyone else encountered any issues in the new release?
Amendment: Pidgin seems to work ok, but I miss the empathy integration; the pidgin plugin for notifications takes the edge off for now.

Yesterday, after I logged out of Ubuntu (Lucid Lynx), I was unable to log back in. When I enter my password the screen goes blank for a second and then it returns to the login menu. Also, I have noticed that there are no sessions to choose from (e.g. Gnome, Unity, etc.). Maybe this has something to do with it.
The last thing I did before logging out for the last time was removing a package called "indicator-datetime", which I got from installing Unity. Maybe this information isn't useful but it really seemed to me like it caused my problem.

I am using an imx27 and have a timer set up for 100 ms and a loop to count the pulses while the timer has not expired. I get about 90 % reliable results but every once in a while i get one that is out to lunch. I am reading in a signal that is about 500khz and counting on an transition. I usually get around 85k count. But i will randomly get a 50k count.

I am using Fedora 12, and I recently downloaded the source of Empathy from the git repo. When I issue a ./configure on the console, I get the following output, please look at the last line:
[root@localhost empathy]# ./configure
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
[code]....

Sometimes when I start empathy the menu is missing. I've had globalmenu installed but I've removed it and set it so that the menu is showing in the window anyway. But that might still be causing problems--I don't know. Is anyone else witnessing this behavior?I notice that hen I open programs in a terminal I get the msg:Code:Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "globalmenu-gnome": libglobalmenu-gnome.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryIf it were a bug globalmenu caused, I find it odd that the problem has only occurred with Empathy.

GDM has no session options listed when I click on my username. I should have openbox and lxde. I read that GDM finds it's sessions from /usr/share/xsessions so I checked there and I have desktop files for both. currently I'm using WDM and it's working fine.

I need some suggestions on software. I would like to offer remote desktop support to some of our clients, but some of them are using ISP's that block incoming connections so, VNC is out of the question. I was wondering if there is something similar to logmein for ubuntu?

I'm trying to block an incoming URL. My ISP is hijacking 404 pages and annoyingly changing the URL line in the browser and flashing all sorts of popup ads. I just need it for incoming URLs which my router doesn't seem to handle. I'd prefer something packaged with Ubuntu 8.04, but anything simple will do. I know in KDE I could edit the kdeglobals file with:
[KDE URL Restrictions]
rule_1=open,,,,[URL],,false
rule_count=1

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 am setting up a server that is to serve websites and host mail.I have run into a problem regarding the mail server. The server is completely set up but for some reason it is not receiving the e-mails I am trying to send to it. When i mail to the associated mail address from internal by the "mail" command it works fine. But when I try from an external mail server, the mail never gets through. And I do not receive a bounce e-mail.
It says that the port 25 IS open for TCP connections (in iptables - I opened it myself). And surely when I telnet to it on that port from inside the server, I get an connection. But when I telnet from an external network I get a refused connection. It would sound that the port is in fact not really open for external use, in my mind, but it is. Is there possibly anything else I might have neglected to check in this mystery

I have Lucid Lynx 10.04 installed on my eee 900ha and I'm unable to log in to my desktop.
Earlier today I logged in successfully and I uninstalled a couple of unused programs (pitivi, evolution, fspot, and another that I can't remember). I then shut down the computer. Later when I booted the computer back up, I was greeted with the usual ubuntu login screen but I noticed that there were no options in the sessions drop-up menu. I entered my login information and pressed enter, and the screen went black, then went back to the login screen again.
I'm using gnome.

I can not see incoming video on Skype.
Okay, so I have Skype installed, and it has worked fine in the past. I have been able to chat with my girlfriend on it. We can see each other and both talk. I haven't used it in probably 3 or 4 months. I tried to use it last night and for some reason, I could not see her on the video. It would just show up as a white box where the video should be. She could see me, and we could hear each other. I already had her test with somebody else to check if her video output was okay, and it worked just fine.
I read something that Cairo Dock could somehow be affecting it, but I haven't tested this theory. I can't see how the two could be related.

After 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.

My laptop has become very sluggish. So I loaded firestarter firewall. It is reporting loads of incoming UDP traffic. I only use this machine for Skype and Firefox based work as most of my stuff is kept on the cloud. Is it safe to stop all this UDP traffic? It would free up my CPU I guess. It seems port 56095 is getting hammered.

I'm trying to get VNC working but I'm getting this error message:
Quote:
ssh: connect to host my_ip_address port 22: Connection refused
When typing:
Quote:
ssh -f -L 5900:localhost:5900 user@my_ip_address x11vnc -safer -localhost -nopw -once -display :0 && sleep 5 && vncviewer localhost:0
I'm trying to follow the instructions here: [URL] but I'm struggling with point 2 & 3:
Quote:
2. If you have previously reconfigured the firewall on your PC, make sure the firewall allows incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost (also known as 127.0.0.1)
3. If your PC is behind a home router, or any other device that uses NAT, configure your router to send connection attempts on port 22 (but not port 5900) to your PC
So my questions are:
1. I installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 11.4, should I be concerned about step 2? If so, how can I allow incoming connections on port 22 from anywhere, and on port 5900 from localhost?
2. Regarding step 3, I'm using NETGEAR model DGN1000 router. Is that something that I should do from the router's setting page or it's some commands that I should pass through SSH?

i have tightVNCserver running to provide me with a means of working on my machine whilst the wife watches mythTV on the (physical) display.
in 8.04 i used to have "gnome-panel &" as a line in my /home/mike/.vnc/xstartup file, and it worked fine, when i logged in via VNC i had a nice gnome panel to start apps from etc.
since 10.04 this stopped working and i had to change gnome-panel to gnome-session. this works... but now it loads everything up in the VNC window just like it does in my main window. this is a problem because it loads things like mythTV front end and so on... i don't want it to do that in my VNC window.
does anyone know how it might be possible for me to have two different 'types' of gnome session? Settings i change in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications are common to both my VNC and my physical displays so i can't turn off mythTVfrontend in there to solve the problem.
i'm not sure why gnome-panel stopped working in my xstartup file, but it happened when i upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. if i try it in the ugly xterm window on VNC i get:
Code:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
** (gnome-panel:26161): WARNING **: Cannot register the panel shell: cannot connect to the session bus. the RANDR stuff i get when i launch gnome-session too so i think its the second bit that's the real problem.

Will it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine. Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?
Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.

I assume that any .desktop file that is found inside code...
but I do not see an entry for it in the list of sessions. The same is true if I go to "System -> Administration -> Login Screen" - I don't see all sessions in the list for the default sessions.
what's going on here? Do I need to tell GDM to go through this list again? I've tried restarting GDM but no success. This is ubuntu 11.04 btw.

I am following directions to set up my Ubuntu Installation (8.10) for Netbook Remix. As part of the directions it asks me at the end to:
Add netbook-launcher (if using 8.10) to your startup programs. Go to System>Preferences>Sessions and add entry for this command.
I went to sessions to do it and see Netbook Launcher listed and selected to add it but it prompts me with the following menu:
Name
Command
Comment
What do I put in these blanks so that I can set this up? For Command it gives me the option to browse.

My problem is this: the video that I receive during a video call will freeze after about 30 to 60 seconds. Before that, it works fine. And the outgoing video (that which I send to the contact on the other end of the call) is fine throughout.
If my contact resets their video by turning it off and then on again during the call, it will usually work again for a few seconds. Then, as always, it freezes.
So, I am clearly receiving the signal. But maybe I am overloading something? Is this a graphics card problem?
SPECS:
* Mobile Intel 915GM Express card
* IBM Lenovo X41 laptop
* Intel Centrino processor
* Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
* Skype 2.1.0.47(Beta)

When trying to access my HTC Vogue via bluetooth, I can view all my files EXCEPT the music directory I made on my sd card (which is actually the one i wanted...). When trying to view it, nautilus gives the following error:
Code:
The folder contents could not be displayed. Couldn't parse the incoming data. A quick google revealed [URL]../+s...ez/+bug/310231 however I'm fairly noobish when it comes to compiling so could someone perhaps direct me with the commands? Edit: Sorry forgot to mention its the second post on that website.

I'm using Linux Mint 8 KDE, which is essentially kubuntu karmic.
Been trying to set up bittorrent (tried several different apps), have followed all the usual steps, forwarded ports on both Guarddog and my router, but still no incoming connections. Then tried disabling the firewall in Guarddog - still no incoming connections. Never had any problems configuring my router before so can only think that there must be something else blocking ports in linux other than iptables.Also had same problem just using ufw and gufw

I'm having a problem with Skype. Whenever someone calls me, the incoming call popup shows up, but I can hear no sound playing. Further, if I go in Options/Notifications and try to test the incoming call event, I'm having the same problem.
The .wav file exists and Skype can play it back. I have tested this by assigning that particular .wav to a different event, where it works as expected. Additionally, the other events, e.g. outgoing call, appear to be working normally. This would suggest, that the problem lies with the incoming call event, rather than the particular sound.

I am running the latest ubuntu. Sometimes it randomly stops accepting ssh connections, afp/smb connections, and even stops responding to pinging. It is connected via WIFI.
I go over to the desktop and use the browser, and the internet still works fine. Then after a while, it starts accepting incoming traffic again.

I am using the Skype-Pidgin integration on Lucid. Calls work fine and I can send messages from Pidgin. But incoming messages don't get through to Pidgin -- instead I get an alert from Skype and I have to open up the Skype conversation window to see them.
The versions I have installed are:
pidgin : 1:2.6.6-1ubuntu4.3
pidgin-skype: 20100121+dfsg-1
skype: 2.2.0.25-1lucid1
