Re: [Ekiga-list] SIP Hardware Phone compatability with Ekiga

2008-11-24 Thread Stefan Monnier
 Why not grab a GSM/Wifi mobile phone such as a Nokia E 65 to do this ?

Do these use SIP?  I thought they all used UMA (which is much more
friendly to your cell provider).

Re: [Ekiga-devel-list] Call for testing our new ekiga.net platform

 You need to use the stable release of Ekiga 3.0 (3.0.0, or 3.0.1) to
 test the new system. Our current Ekiga trunk (SVN) has its outbound

1 - I hadn't yet read this announcement
2 - Debian testing doesn't seem to have Ekiga-3 yet, so all my machines
are still on Ekiga-2.x

I'm sure I'm not the only one in a similar situation.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Privacy policy of Ekiga

2008-03-19 Thread Stefan Monnier
  I hope you will be able to point me to the privacy statements of
  Ekiga or otherwise You will take this subject very seriously.
  Are you talking about ekiga or ekiga.net?
 I think both are really important, is it not?

Not really: the Ekiga application is just that: an application.
It happens to use the network, just like Firefox, but it doesn't
(modulo bugs or nasty people adding backdoors) connect to any machine
to which you haven't explicitly asked it to connect.

I don't think a privacy statement is important here.

 You seem to assume that Ekiga is an organization, in the way that Skype 
 is an organization.  It is not at all the same thing: Skype is a 
 commercial organization with a proprietary product and service; Ekiga 
 is an open source application, and there is a community that supports 
 and uses it.  To use myself as an example, the only information that 
 ekiga.net has access to are my name and email address.  There need be 
 no privacy statement, since there is no collection of personal data, 
 such as Skype might require and use.

The fact that Ekiga.net is not commercial doesn't make much difference:
it does keep a database of users with their email address and names, and
(more importantly) it does keep track of which ones are connected and
from where, so it know about IP addresses and may potentially keep a log
of when which user connected with which IP.

And the police may order Damien to give out some of that info, or some
dire financial need (or juicy offer) may push Damien to sell that info.

So a privacy statement explaining what info is kept (e.g. is a log of IP
addresses kept?), that to which it is intended (e.g. it's not intended
to be distributed to any third party, except the name database which is
freely searchable, IIUC), and the worst case guarantee (all the data may
be stolen, subpoena'd, sold, ...).

Re: [Ekiga-list] 2 client ekiga on the same pc

2008-01-17 Thread Stefan Monnier
 i'd like to have two client sip ekiga on the same pc (windows o.s.).
 it's possible?
 If the same camera device and the same soundcard can be shared, and if
 you change the ports being used or bind ekiga to two different IP
 addresses, it should work.

Shouldn't Ekiga automatically use other ports if the default ports are
already used?  I find the current single-user assumption rather
inconvenient indeed.

Re: [Ekiga-list] sound quality

2007-08-09 Thread Stefan Monnier
 Given recent mention that I'm using an out of date version of Ekiga
 (2.0.3) because it's what Ubuntu currently has in it's repositories,
 what are my options in terms of sound and quality?  No matter which

Upgrade to Debian testing?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga should save settings (gamma, saturation) of my USB webcam

2007-03-16 Thread Stefan Monnier
  luvcview then prints this out:
  Video driver: x11
  A window manager is available
  video /dev/video0
  Unable to set format: 5.
   Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal
  Only solution I know to get back my video is to reboot the entire system
  (annoying, so MS Win 3.1.). Anybody who knows how to get that v4l2 driver
  working again without rebooting?
 
 I'm cc'ing Luc Saillard, an expert in terms of video and V4L2 ;-)

 I found a solution on mailing-list  
 https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/ :
 the only way is to reset camera, either by calling usb_reset_device() or by 
 unplugging the cord.
 The USB Logitech webcams appear to have a hardware bug (something about usb 
 timings) and as far as I understand it, there isn't a workaround for it.
 Unplugging the cord of my webcam I can do but I'd like to know with what 
 command i can do a usb_reset_device().

 I guess some  experts on linux-uvc are Laurent Pinchart and Evgeny.

There's a patch to linux-uvc that does the usb_reset_device when it seems
necessary.  Check the linux-uvc list for it.  The latest version of the
patch I could find was pretty old and the code has been completely shuffled
since then (split into several files), so it took me some manual work to
apply the patch.  I posted the resulting new patch to the linux-uvc
mailing-list recently (maybe a couple weeks ago).  It seems to work for me.

[Ekiga-list] Use a larger video image

2007-01-24 Thread Stefan Monnier

Is there some way I can choose the size of the video image?  I'm not talking
about zooming the image (which I can do with C-+), but changing its real
resolution.  It seems to be about 160x100 right now.
