Ekiga Softphone warning

Asked by Eric Denison

I was going to install Ekiga Softphone and am getting a number of warnings stating that it is not a trusted site. Should I continue as the reviews of the site are good and no one in the forums appears to have a problem. Fairly new Ubuntu user, still finding my way around. Cheers. Eric

Have a look under Applications, Internet. Ekiga is already there.

Thanks for the reponse. Was installing the application from the bundle already provided. When I attempted to fill in the required information the warning notices started popping up. Should I just ignore the notices and proceed with the installation.

My terminology is all wrong. Of course the application is already installed, what I should have said is that when I tried to connect with the Ekiga site to set up an account the error notice popped up stating that this is not a trusted site. Hope this makes more sense. Cheers

If you are running Hardy Heron, Ekiga is already installed as standard.

You can easily install Ekiga via Add/Remove in your Applications menu.

Your message is unclear to me ... what bundle already provided ... what required information?

The trusted site issue is most likely due to your security settings in Firefox. You can safely go ahead.

Additional information that may be useful to you:
Ekiga is not easy to set up. Skype is very much easier.
