Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gconf
I am running 8.10 Desktop on an Intel quad core with Linux
2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP (x86_64 GNU/Linux).
I want to run ekiga on the same box that I run Asterisk. Asterisk is a
VOIP PBX that listens on port 5060 for incoming SIP connections. Ekiga
is a soft phone that listens on port 5060 for incoming SIP calls
forwarded by its PBX (Asterisk). To deconflict, Ekiga must listen on
port 5061 (or some other port) and Asterisk must know to forward calls
on that port for the local softphone.
I set port=5061 in the asterisk sip.conf file to allow it to forward
calls to port 5061 when destined for the local softphone.
I typed:
sudo gconf-editor
Clicked on --> apps --> ekiga --> protocols --> sip
and changed listen_port to 5061
I closed out and opened up again. The setting was saved to the Gnome
xml settings file.
However, ekiga -d 2 gives the following output:
2008/11/10 15:22:05.605 0:01.187 ekiga PV4L2Plugin
detected device metadata at /sys/class/video4linux/
2008/11/10 15:22:05.674 0:01.256 ekiga Listen Error

2008/11/10 15:22:05.674 0:01.256 ekiga Listen Could
not start any UDP listeners
2008/11/10 15:22:05.674 0:01.256 ekiga OpalEP Could
not start listener: udp$10.1.1.135:5060
2008/11/10 15:22:05.808 0:01.390 ekiga AVAHI Error
initializing Avahi: %sDaemon not running
Ekiga gives an error warning: SIP calls not possible. Port not
available. Meanwhile the above debug output shows that Ekiga is trying
to listen on port 5060, not port 5061. This means that ekiga is not
using the settings changed with gconf-editor.
Please note that I changed the UDP port range with gconf-editor and it
ignored that too. Also, I tried to change the settings without using
sudo, but get "schema" instead of a value for the keys and cannot change
anything.
Finally, I have reinstalled and retried to no avail. I also turned off
the avahi-daemon, but nothing...
This may be a separate manifestation of the bug reported in #203877. It
appears that the gconf settings are ignored.
