I'm after a replacement program for when I make the jump from Windows on my main machine. I'm looking for a MSN/WLM client which supports the protocol used for Video Chat in the 2011 version. I have tried aMSN a couple of months back but it doesn't seem to work with the new protocol, has this issue been fixed? Or is there an alternate program to use?
View 1 RepliesI'm using 9.10. Most of my contacts on line use MSN for voice calls. Is there any messenger that supports voice for Ubuntu? aMsn and Empathy does not work. aMsn says that it's due to a protocol change in Live Messenger. Lately I've found out that voice through msn live messenger is real good in clarity and it hardly breaks up. Any way to connect with Live messenger for voice chat.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a very annoying problem: I can't seem to be able to video chat. Not on aMSN, not an Skype... I'm sure that my camera works because I can take pictures using Cheese. However, when I establish a connection on aMSN or Skype, the other person only sees a white screen instead of my face. (I've already installed farsight2)
My webcam is a Hercules Classic Silver.
I have been tasked with the job of finding a way to create a video chat application on Linux to use with our health software. We are basically just wanting to add a video / audio component to the system. I have been using Ubuntu a long time and have decided to use it as our platform for the new software. We currently use Emblaze VCON with our software on Windows and I want to eliminate the need for Windows completely. We supply the hardware so if I can get good quality video chat integrated into our software then I am all set.
I have been playing with some apps like vlc, cheese and luvcview. I am quite impressed with the video quality I am getting so I know Linux can give our users a great chat experience. I even tried Skype 2.0 beta and that worked great too.
I see the software working just like Yahoo or MSN does. I provide a list of users and whether they are online and when you double click on their name they get a ring and prompt to accept the incoming call from "Joe". If there is an engine already in place that we are free to use and bundle with our paid product then that would be great. I am really ignorant on GPL licensing so I want to be careful on what we do. Also, I think this method is best for the connection... I like the idea of a server which receives input from all clients and tracks their online status but when you make a call to the other person it communicates p2p style to minimize hops and server load. We will be controlling the firewalls on the hardware but not what this hardware may be behind, ie. Router - so I guess I need something that can tunnel through / around such obstacles.
I would really appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction on what I could use to do this and also not have to worry about licensing and Intellectual property violations. Btw, I don't see the need to modify the software if it can handle the p2p chat out of box and do it well. I will write the components to handle online / offline status if the "engine" doesn't handle this.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFor several months, I've had a couple problems with my X display. The first is an occasional seg fault that cascades thru all applications, leaving me with nothing, and requiring a reboot.The second is that all mozilla derived browsers -- firefox, epiphany, icecat -- crash very frequently. Sometimes this requires a reboot or restart of the display.Since I am not seeing complaints from other people about this for my distro (f14), but it did not happen on the same hardware with my previous install (f10), I'm putting it down to some combination of software.
My first suspect is the ati catalyst video driver. I don't use GL much, so I actually don't need the proprietary driver installed all the time. If it is the problem, I'd like to leave it installed for when I need it, but mostly use the kernel's native radeon driver.I had hoped this would be as simple as removing the fglrx driver and loading radeon, but that doesn't work -- when I start X again, the kernel loads fglrx. I changed the xorg conf to use the "ati" (xorg) driver; this leads to "no signal" to the monitor and I have to reboot.
has anybody tried out imo.im? This is a web based instant messaging service, it lets users chat on AIM, Google Talk, MSN, MySpace, Skype, and Yahoo. My problem is, that I can not chat video and audio with it under slackware. I have video camera, it works for example in Skype (with the propriatare software of Skype), but with imo.im not.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Gigabyte 6A-M61P-S3 with an nVidia chipset, and I'm using the built-in graphics rather than a discrete graphics card. Ubuntu 10.10 and previous releases ran flawlessly on it using the nouveau drivers. I tried doing an upgrade to 11.04 using the Alternate AMD-64 CD, and it seemed to complete successfully, but when it came time to reboot, I had no video output at all after the BIOS screen. This is a test machine, so I went ahead and did a clean install using encrypted LVM with the Alternate AMD-64 CD after confirming that 64-bit 11.04 ran fine using the Live CD.
The installation went fine, but the first reboot flashed a brief "error: no video mode activated" and then I lost all video output. Subsequent reboots didn't give me any error message, but I had no video output. I suspect there are some boot parameters that would have gotten the nouveau driver working, but I wanted to try Unity, so I rebooted to get the Grub menu, chose Recover Mode, selected failsafe graphics, and got to the Desktop, then installed the proprietary nVidia driver (current) and once I rebooted everything was golden.
Sugegstions for a good empathy protocal I have empathy installed on one of my Linux and a friend with the same setup. We would like to video/audio chat though empathy together. Although there are a few protocols to choose from. Are there any recommendation on one that is stable and reliable???
