Unfortunately I have few friends who care about computer use or anything they use on them (they're all the kind who could care less, just so it works, and of course they're all M$ users too), so I never was able to install and use Ekiga, though I sure wish I could. Presently, if there's any cost whatsoever involved, I'm unable to use it as I've fallen on hard times and barely able to keep a roof over my head much less spend a few dollars on something for software use. Hopefully though that Retroshare thing may help. Let us know if you do at least try it...though I suppose it'd be a bit rude here on the Ekiga list (my apologies to the Ekiga owners/makers!).

Hi, Ekiga is not ready for H323, unfortunately. I tried it once with an H323 equipment in France and it did not work. There are still bugs which make it unusable.

Hi, I put at http://eugen.dedu.free.fr/m.exe the latest ekiga (post 4.0.1) with a modification done between 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 removed. This is the only modification I see which could generate the problem you describe. Test it and tell if it gives the same results as 4.0.0 or not.

But 00 never worked fully either - echo and call back tests worked (with video present) but calls to another person (only one person was called and calls were recieved from him multiple times within 30 minutes) only worked without video (ie: voice only).

The dialogue box about Ekiga not configuring ports was appearing EVERY time Ekiga started for BOTH 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. This was the case on BOTH computers tested (desktop and laptop both of which were behind the same firewall of my gateway). The required ports on my firewall (m0n0wall) were opened manually and verified as being open with PF Port Checker from both computers. With 4.0.0, has it worked with several outgoing and incoming calls, or you have tested only once (calling once 5...@ekiga.net for ex.)? After I first installed 4.0.0, both echo and call back tests always worked with video (repeated MANY times). After I installed 4.0.1 over 4.0.0, nothing worked even once. Then two things were done: I installed Skype and installed 4.0.0 over 4.0.1 (don't remember which was done first). The roll back was done as per your request to run the -d 4 log on 4.0.0. But after the rollback, 4.0.0 didn't work as before. The echo test now always works with audio only (never with video) and the call back test now never works: Ekiga hangs as soon as I pick up after the system calls me back and this happens every time.

As soon as the dialogue box appear (if it appears occasionally, say 10% of the time, then this is not a problem), the port forwarding does not function properly.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie questions
Hi Eugen and thank you again for your persistence in this matter :). Since I do not want to repeatedly install one version of Ekiga over the other and repeat the same tests over and over, I will just say that each test was repeated MANY times in each mode on each version of the program. The exact chronology of the actions taken and results observed is depicted exactly in this thread. Reading all entries from the start should answer your questions. But, for your convenience, here are my answers again: On 3/11/2013 10:21 AM, Eugen Dedu wrote: Polaris, you wrote that ekiga 4.0.0 works, but ekiga 4.0.1 does not. 4.0.0 worked better than 4.0.1. 01 couldn't even register to Ekiga.net and not even an echo test worked. But 00 never worked fully either - echo and call back tests worked (with video present) but calls to another person (only one person was called and calls were recieved from him multiple times within 30 minutes) only worked without video (ie: voice only). Only once, for a brief instant I saw an image of the other person at the very beginning of the call. After that the image disappeared and the call continued in voice only.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie questions
I understand that it is annoying, but adding a checkbox means adding it to configuration files too, allow users to uncheck it, take into account users who forgot this, or worse users who change network (work-home) and where parameters are different etc. So we need to think a bit about that before implementing anything.

To confirm that I am getting out there and to see how things work, I wanted to call someone but every person I tried in the address book was unavailable. Would someone be so kind as to make themselves available for a short chat (I can make myself available during most of the day and am in GMT - 8 )? 3. Audio: During the tests there was a lot of echo even after I enabled echo cancellation in preferences. What can I do to improve the sound? Echo cancellation is not high quality. Buy a headset. 4. Video: Is there a way to make the video conference window occupy the whole screen (my monitor is set to 1024x768)?

The echo and call back tests always did work with 4.0.0 and never work now with 4.0.1 (an actual call to someone else was performed only once and did work with problems discussed in the thread Ekiga test today). Too bad you didn't ask me for this log before I got rid of 4.0.0 :) To roll back the version (under Win), should I do an uninstall of the newer version first?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie questions
Just reinstalled 4.0.0 as requested and ran the debug. At start up Ekiga behaved as after the original install of 4.0.0: no yellow triangle exclamation warning saying: Could not register to Ekiga.net in the system tray. But things went differently during tests . During the echo test could hear myself but this time there was no video of myself (just a bouncing ball). And during a call back test, I got a call back but then the program hung every time (no audio or video). The only change to the system I can think off, after the original install of Ekiga 4.0.0, was the installation of Skype. http://www.adrive.com/public/v2mpP8/ekiga-stderr.400.7z On 2/24/2013 1:17 PM, Eugen Dedu wrote: Just installing 4.0.0 is sufficient.

Re #1 (port error message): In case the details of my setup will help to figure out the reason, here they are: I was running Ekiga 4.0.0 under Win XP sp2 on a Pentium III box without any firewall on it. My firewall is m0n0wall running on a separate box acting as a gateway. If I can make calls just fine and in case, due to the particulars of my set up, Ekiga is unable to automatically test for open ports, is it possible to change something manually within Ekiga so as not to see this annoying message?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie, help: Account mgmt problems
I've isolated the problem. In a fresh install, right after the configuration wizard, clear the Authentication User field for the Ekiga account. After this an exit + restart corrupts the Ekiga account data. Trying to sort things out, I ran ekiga under valgrind. There is a lot of Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s); I presume these are irrelevant. Besides these, Ekiga runs clean when the Authentication User field is non-empty. However, the following two errors occurs iff the Authentication User field is empty i. e., when the data corruption occurs.

Re: [Ekiga-list] Newbie configuration experiences...
Alec Leamas wrote: First of all: I actually got Ekiga 3.0.1 running to the point of a working call to the echo service on my Fedora 10 box which is a Good Thing. You are doing a great job! However, being a newbie I found it a little harder than it ought to be. If it's an objective that Ekiga should be easy to setup, here are some remarks: Sound device selection. - There is no support for testing the output devices (Play test sound) for output nor ringing device in the device selection menu. I think it should. - On my Fedora box, some selections makes Ekiga really weird e. g., it's possible to connect but not to disconnect. The bad thing is that there is no user feedback indicating that this is a problem with the sound devices, which makes it hard to figure out what's going on. NAT traversal and router setup: - My router is a NAT router with the dreaded Symmetric NAT. There *is* an error message when Ekiga is started which basically says that I have to configure the router manually. The crucial term Symmetric NAT is *not* mentioned in this message. I finally learned to start ekiga with debug output, and grep for 'stun' to reveal this fact. This should really easier, the information about Symmetric NAT should be displayed to the user. - Once I understood that my router was doing Symmetric NAT I configured port forwarding according to the docs (dynamic, triggered ports is not properly handled by my Thomson router). I came to a point with working connect/disconnect but no sound. - After some more reading, I understood that the stunnel stuff was in the way. So I needed to disable stunnel. There are no switches in the UI for this, and even in gconf there is no Use stunnel option. What I did was to set the stunnel host to a non-existing value. This created a lot of error messages, and a working Ekiga... This should be easier and more straightforward IMHO. The issue to setup Ekiga with a router doing symmetric NAT couldn't really be out of the box, I understand that. But I still think this process could be easier with better error messages and configuration options. Or, maybe, a Symmetric NAT wizard? Last but not least, I shouldn't have taken the time to write this unless I really appreciate what you are doing... --Alec ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list I second that. One thing you may find, if you are using a Thomson ST 585 V6 router as I am, is that once you have disabled STUN then the ST 585 appears to automatically open the RTP ports for you. ie you don't need to manually set the router to port forward them, at least on my setup ... It seems to also forward them to the correct host (I have a number of systems behind the ST586).

This is nice, but also creates a strange feeling about this router.. is there anything else it forwards without letting me know? The behavior is normal. It is actually a perfect router. NAT is something bad, as it rewrites the packets. The problem with NAT is that some protocols (like SIP) require you to change the private IP address inside the SIP packet. A good NAT implementation should be able to do it for most common protocols. Most NAT implementations can deal with FTP transparently for you. Unfortunately, until recently, that was not the case with SIP and you needed workarounds like STUN or port forwarding. But recently, more and more routers started to have a NAT implementation that supports SIP. In that case, no port forwarding, no STUN are required. That is the perfect situation. Please note that it only forwards RTP ports because it knows that is a connection you established yourself. It is able to understand what happens. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ Be IP : http://www.beip.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:dsand...@ekiga.net ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

The error message means that another application is already using the port Ekiga is trying to open (probably UDP 5060 for SIP or TCP 1720 for H.323 or both).

The NAT test thing said Port Restricted NAT. That should be fine. The other possible culprit then is that you have a previous instance of ekiga running which hasn't been killed properly. Looking at your original email again I see that I missed this line: When I quit ekiga, the window closes but it just hangs and doesn't terminate. So, it's quite possible that you have a previous instance of ekiga hanging around. You can check for sure with netstat -p -l | grep ekiga and follow it up with a killall ekiga or just kill the PID mentioned in the PID/ekiga column output from the above.
