Hi John, To speed up things you can set subscribe=0 for each of your friends in your linphonerc. You will then no longer be able to see their presence status but it will no longer block the UI.

Assuming a Bourne-compatible shell, if you type sudo bash -x ./linphone.SlackBuild VIDEO=yes 21 | tee slackbuild.out the whole story should be saved in the file slackbuild.out (but it will still scroll on your terminal window). You need write permissions in the directory from which you run that command; if you don't have write perms there, stick another sudo in front of the command tee. You can then peruse the file 'slackbuild.out' with 'less' (or your favourite text editor). Alternatively / in addition, I don't know what terminal emulator you use, but if you aren't short on memory a lot of terminal emulators allow you to increase the scrollback buffer, perhaps with an option like -sl 2000 which (for rxvt-unicode and others) gives you 2000 lines of history. Of course, you need to use that option when your terminal emulator is started, and depending on your window manager and how you start the terminal, that might be easier or harder.

Re: [Linphone-users] genghisk...@gmx.ca
Ghengis, I think I followed your directions but I still can't get linphone to load properly. If I load it when I am not connected to the internet it loads fine and fast. But once I connect, it takes half hour before it is usable. Concerning your comment: The following line should be added to linphone.desktop file. MimeType=x-scheme-handler/sip; I presume you mean /usr/share/applications/linphone.desktop as there is no linphone.desktop in my /.local subdirectory (just linphone-call.desktop). Here is what I use $ xdg-open sip:(my username)@diamondcard.us.tld just in case I am making error here. Linphone loads, says I am registered, but it cannot be used for about half an hour when there are lots of names and phonenumbers in linphonerc. If you have any other suggestions, they are most appreciated. I see your link to ekiga and I like ekiga except that it requires use of evolution. If I could figure out a decent way to input addresses on ekiga I would use that as I am getting real tired of linphone's quirks.

P.S. Perhaps there should be a few small adjustments to Linphone itself in order to make it to work properly with xdg-open * Maybe it is just myself who can't get Linphone to work with xdg-open.
