Hello,

Does your PS means using the SVN version of Ekiga, you can use your diamond card account and it works?

Hi Yannick,
Unfortunately not, on Ubuntu 8.04 it's not resolved. On the older version (7.10) I was installing in early December 2007 using repository:
http://archive.buildserver.net/voip-snapshots/build/ubuntu gutsy main

sudo apt-get remove ekiga
sudo apt-get install ekiga-snapshot

On 8.04 I tried to ask here first. Ekiga went up with its version number so I would think the above is not applicable. I would have thought the code that was working for me before made its way to the current 2.0.12 in 8.04 but obviously not or the bug was reintroduced in some way. I would be happy to provide debug info - if I remember it right it was something like
ekiga -d 4 > output.txt 2>&1
Cheers, Sankalpo

Hi Sankalpo,

Unfortunatly, the package you were using comes from the 3.0 branch we are working on. The 2.0.x serie will probably end for the next Ubuntu (8.10). The change on the 3.0 branch are too much heavy to be backported in our 2.0.x serie.

The good news now! We are working to provide the snapshot packages back. It is long to setup but we are close now, expect it in the coming days. In the meantime, if you feel comfortable with compilation, you can try this script which automate the installation of our 3.0 branch (we call it internally from the tool we use to store it: the "SVN" version, or sometimes "trunk" from its branch name):
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_Ubuntu#Automated_installation_using_a_bash_script

There is another script to remove it, making your Ubuntu clean again:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_Ubuntu#Automated_removal_of_Ekiga_SVN_using_a_bash_script

And finally, another one to update Ekiga whenever you want to the very latest:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_Ubuntu#Automated_upgrade_of_Ekiga_SVN_using_a_bash_script

The page has detailed informations about the commands used in those scripts:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Compile_your_own_SVN_version_of_Ekiga_on_Ubuntu

I'm the author of this page and theses scripts, feel free to ask me if you have some issues.

As it is our working version, things might break heavily. But at the moment (today, 2005-05-23), it seems to work.

Regards,
Yannick

Hi Yannick,
I tried running your script and I am not sure what to answer to the prompt at the end of this - so I <Ctrl>+C for now:

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

Removing ubuntu desktop sounds very harsh - is it the right thing to do? For now I removed the added line from /etc/apt/sources.list again.
I appreciate your support.
Cheers, Sankalpo

hm. CORRECTION:

There was a mistake in my script:
sudo aptitude remove ~n^ekiga ~n^libpt- ~n^libopal-
This line catched up "libpth20" because it was searching for packages whos names begins by "libpt", my intention was to search for "libpt-", but it was needed to escape this caracter as - has a special meaning.
Now, in the script you'll find:
sudo aptitude remove ~n^ekiga ~n^libpt[-] ~n^libopal[-]

Hi Yannick,
I installed the version 3.0 from SVN using your script and I can confirm that it resolved my issue - thanks a lot! I couldn't believe how much code needs to be compiled to get it running :)
Cheers, Sankalpo

Thanks Yannick Defais, that solved my question.
