It should work without any configuration most of the time. If Ubuntu is kind enough to provide a proxy for VoIP, it could work all the times... The same apply to Empathy using protocols like SIP. > - doesn't show v4l device name in setup wizard when listing audio and > video input devices The V4L API is deprecated since *years* in the kernel. V4L2 is the standard for Linux. Still, some driver, like yours (gspca) did not upgraded to the new API. This is mostly a packaging issue; installing the package "libpt-2.3-plugins-v4l" provide V4L support. But adding this support will pop up 2 choices for most webcams users: V4L and V4L2, which doesn't mean anything for the average user... Please report a bug against your driver which do not support the standard for Linux. > - doesn't select v4l device by default in setup wizard (prefers > defaulting to logo and MIC line of sound card on my desktop...) The above explain why... > - locking assertion failures on console in libxcb :-/ Please try the latest package, or report the bug upstream. > - icon is almost exactly the same as empathy in notification area Well, we have those icons since something like early 2007 in our SVN... They are easy to understand and based on traffic light. There is no copy here. > + exits fast > - "Chat" menu to "Quit" is weird, probably not GNOME HIG compliant It is compliant, see: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-standard.html.en#the-file-menu especially: "If your application does not operate on documents, name this item for the type of object it displays. For example, many games should have a Game instead of a File menu. However, place the Quit menu item last on this menu nonetheless." > - "Account" menu in Accounts window doesn't look like a menu (no > underscore); not easy to see where to add an account This has been fixed, please test last package. > - When actually using SIP: "Cannot copy from empty list to master RTP > session list" error I reported it here, and it is fixed: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545366 Please try the new packages... > - window resizes itself to the old size whenever I try to resize it Hm... I don't know. Please try new packages and report upstream if the bad behaviour is still here. > - "FIXME" appears with no reference on stderr/stdout Probably fixed as we will release in some days... > - REGISTERs were sent twice because I had two local interfaces (one for > virtualbox); this was very confusing for the SIP registrars and > caused ekiga to think I wasn't registered when I really was (only the > second register was failing) I don't know this details much. Please test new packs and report upstream if still current. > + webcam display worked, despite being broken/unsupported in cheese > Weird, but good :) Best regards, Yannick > -- > Loïc Minier > -- Me joindre en téléphonie IP / vidéoconférence ? sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Logiciel de VoIP Ekiga : http://www.ekiga.org http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Which_programs_work_with_Ekiga_%3F -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
