Hi everybody, I have compiled and tested 3.0.1 today and here is a few problems/comments/questions that I have. The test machine was Fedora 9, 2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686 kernel.
1. My webcam does not work with Ekiga 3 although it works just fine with Ekiga 2 (and works fine with basically any other program I tried - mplayer, vlc). It is Labtec Webcam Pro using the gspca driver. I think that the problem is that Ekiga detects the device as V4L2, however it is V4L. It does not work as V4L2 under other programs too. With Ekiga 2 I could choose V4L or V4L2 as video plugin, however with Ekiga 3 this does not seem to be possible anymore and the automatic detection only provides V4L2... Any way to force V4L? (error message: Error while accessing video device /dev/video0 There was an error while opening the device. ...) 2. The presence indication does not work for any of my ekiga contacts, including echo test and conference room - all are displayed without any presence indication (ie the same as \"IPBX\" contacts on this screenshot: http://blog.ekiga.net/?p=61) 3. Microphone does not work with \"Default (PTLIB/ALSA)\", however it works with \"HDA Intel (PTLIB/ALSA)\" specified... 4. At opal compilation, there is a new dependency which is not taken into account by configure, namely swig (compilation stopped with an error message and continued after I installed swig - so no big problem but it should be checked by configure I believe?) 5. This one is just an information if somebody gets into the same issue: originally I reproducibly got a segfault if I wanted to make a call and the following error message appeared if ekiga --sync was run (followed by an attempt to make a call): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_drawable_get_depth: assertion `GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)\' failed It turned out that this was an issue between GTK+ and KDE4 desktop efffects - after KDE4 desktop effects were turned off, the problem disappared. 6. Although I did not get a chance to use video, I have noticed that the \"side by side\" view option is no longer available. Is there a plan to include it again? Basically all people I talked to prefer this over PIP/no local because one can both see himself and it does not cut from the remote at the same time - for some it was one of the \"killer features\" of Ekiga, I believe! I would be glad for any comments. Also, could a developer please let me know if (s)he thinks that any of these should be filed as a bug? __________ http://sport.sme.sk - Najkomplexnejšie informácie zo športu _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
