Thanks Peio

Can someone remove me from this list until the next Debian is released? I 
don't like Applimage so until next Debian at least, I will be using Twitter 
exclusively.

Re: [Linphone-users] issues using LinPhone

[John White]

Perhaps someone will give you some suggestions.  I too like Linphone and used 
it (sip.diamondcard.us) for many years.  But eventually it just wasn't 
maintained, at least the linux version, so I switched back to twinkle.  I have 
recently been trying linphone again, the appimage version 4.24, and find it 
works a lot of the time, but that it is not very reliable.  Its likely 
something I am doing wrong.  Nonetheless, I generally find twinkle more 
reliable, albeit no video.  It would be nice if linphone had a page that 
described each of the pages in the maintenance section.

I am using the linux appimage version of linphone 4.2.4.  I occasionally add

That is one reason I am looking for alternatives.  However, some courts are 
using 
zoom so its probably not as bad as the security folks make it out to be.

I was one of the original users of linphone and used it for years, but it 
became too 
buggy and linux support has been truncated.  So though I would love to use it 
(if for 
no other reason than its great address capability) I have sadly abandoned 
linphone.  
I went back to using video-less Twinkle several months ago and it works 
perfectly 
with diamondcard.us (sip). I use it constantly.

So I have tried Jitsi on my linux system without success.  It simply doesn't 
work.  Has 
anyone used jitsi meet or jitsi videobridge?  No criticism of Zoom is intended, 
as it 
works well on linux right now.  But Gates is likely to buy it and screw it up, 
as people 
are using zoom rather than skype.  An alternative to zoom would be great.

Re: [Linphone-users] linphone in Debian with flatpak

[John White]

At least when I last tried it, a month or so ago, the Linphone version in 
synaptic was 
a fairly old version.  The flatpak version has the new Linphone version, but it 
doesn't 
work very well.  Last I tried it, the Linphone download page had a warning 
about 
problems with the flatpak version.  Probably because flatpak is junk software, 
at 
least in my opinion.

I finally gave up and went to twinkle.  The twinkle version in the buster 
repositories 
seems to work fine.  

I think linphone originally was a linux based gadget, but if so, linphone is 
not paying 
attention to its base.

Re: [Linphone-users] flatpak reinstall

So,

A few minutes ago I uninstalled flatpak linphone and then reinstalled it, using 
the 
linphone web site install url.  I did not lose the addresses.  So far I have 
made 3 calls 
without it freezing so perhaps this helped.  Sure hope so.

Re: [Linphone-users] flatpak reinstall

[John White]

Thanks much.  I updated to the latest buster a few days ago, which included a 
new 
flatpak.  The question is how to get linphone updated to the new flatpak. 
I suspect it doesn't happen automatically but I am new to flatpak.

My thinking is that I just reinstall linphone on the updated flatpak and I am 
wondering what harm that might cause.  I doubt it will hurt much as linphone 
now 
generally freezes on completion of a sip call.

[Linphone-users] moving sip contacts

[John White]

I am moving to a newer computer and  have linphone working on it 
via sip.  Is there someway that I am move my contacts to the new 
machine?

I think used to do this via linphoneric on the version loaded from the 
Debian Buster repositories, but I am using the flatpak version of 
linphone (the debian version is quite outdated).

My contacts have subscribe=0 to facilitate loading of linphonerc. They

You can still search for a contact by typing ctrl+f.
The contact list is also still alphabetically sorted but it shows

Dear Developers,

One of the big reasons I liked Linphone was that I could search
for contacts easily.  For example, if I wanted to call a guy named
'Martin', I only had to type 'Ma' in the search field and his
entry would show up.

As of Linphone v3.6.0, the search field no longer exists. 
Furthermore, the 'Contacts' list entries aren't ordered

alphabetically for some reason.  This means I have to go through
every item in the list until I find the one I want.

Honestly, I'm wondering whether the guy who removed the search
field was drunk at the time!  Please bring it back, and give us
the option of permanently ordering the 'Contacts' list entries
alphabetically as well.

Do you have ffmpeg installed?

If you say

when it gets to the configure line does it have
'--enable-video' in it
like this one:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64

Re: [Linphone-users] genghisk...@gmx.ca

[John White]

I got etm fixed (too many PyQts loaded.   After fixing etm I then redid 
the whole linphone install, i.e. downloaded from linphone page, insalled 
via slackbuilds and still no video.


Here is the ./config again:

   === configuring in mediastreamer2
   (/tmp/SBo/linphone-3.6.1/mediastreamer2)
   configure: running /bin/sh ./configure --disable-option-checking
   '--prefix=/usr'  '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--docdir=/usr/doc'
   '--mandir=/usr/man' '--disable-static' '--enable-ipv6'
   '--enable-alsa' '--enable-truespeech' '--disable-video'
   '--build=i486-slackware-linux' 'build_alias=i486-slackware-linux'
   'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=i486
   -mtune=i686'
   
'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig'
   --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=.
   configure: mediastreamer-2.9.1

Video support is still false.  However, it no longer crashes on enable 
self video, though the 3.6.0 version in the Vector testing repository 
still does.


And it is still slow.  I put in the old linphonerc 20 minutes ago and 
linphone is still froze.


Thanks again. I am considering a bug report but have to figure out how 
first.

   Upgrading from version 0.10 to 1.1.2 will break a lot of packages
   that depend on ffmpeg...still I have build the latest stable 0.10.7
   for the 0.10 release branch...you can get it from the untested repo
   via gslapt/slapt-get...

   BTW, *do it on your own risk* Smiley

My comment back was that I'll pass.  I have been taking too many risks 
lately.


I have asked the administrator at ETM to see if there is some way I 
could use ETM to parse the contact list which I now have in a text file.

Did you try to execute (double click) the Desktop Launcher I attached?
Yes, it worked fine far as I know.  I can now launch linphone from 
ApplicationsVoIP.

Would you like to use your system menu to manage your contacts?
I think so.  I have saved the old Friends list from linphonerc to a text 
file.  I open that file, search for the name, copy the phone number, 
paste it into linphone and then dial the number.  Most anything would be 
better than this.

Which Desktop Environment are you using?

xfce4



As to the problem with enable self view I can't tell if that is
fixed or not (I doubt it) as I no longer have any video codecs in
preferences. They are apparently in linphonerc, but don't show in
the gui window. I probably don't know how to pass VIDEO=yes to the
build script. Here is what I do:

# ./linphone.SlackBuild VIDEO=yes

I then use installpkg to install the SBO file. Linphone runs when I
do this but does the Video Input Device is greyed out and no video

You have already done more than enough. Still, any thoughts you have
about any of this, are most appreciated.

Please let me know when you do. I tried to use the address book of

Using the Start Menu Application launcher (of freeDesktop.org).

Re: [Linphone-users] genghisk...@gmx.ca

[John White]

This worked wellLinphone now opens from the GUI.  Must admit I had 
to give up on MenuLibre as it apparently requires slackware 14.   Vector 
is working on that now.


As to the slow loading, that problem is solved (I took all the friends 
out of linphonerc.  However, I now have to copy and paste contact info 
(phone numbers), so that's a bummer.  I am looking at faster ways to do 
this.


As to the problem with enable self view I can't tell if that is fixed 
or not (I doubt it) as I no longer have any video codecs in 
preferences.  They are apparently in linphonerc, but don't show in the 
gui window.  I probably don't know how to pass VIDEO=yes to the build 
script.  Here is what I do:


# ./linphone.SlackBuild VIDEO=yes

I then use installpkg to install the SBO file.  Linphone runs when I do 
this but does the Video Input Device is greyed out and no video codecs 
show in Preferences.


You have already done more than enough.  Still, any thoughts you have 
about any of this, are most appreciated.

Please let me know when you do. I tried to use the address book of
Claws Mail and I have failed to make a click-able sip: URI.

In the meantime I think I have a very strange solution which you might
like.

Using the Start Menu Application launcher (of freeDesktop.org).
More information athttp://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu

Add a category called VoIP and then extract the attached desktop file

You might want to do some of the above actions using MenuLibre.

Jim, I tried slackware 3.6.1 (via slackbuilds.org, 13.37) and other than 
crashing when I enable self view the problem is that Linphone takes 
about a half hour to load (I have over 300 addresses in linphonerc).  
That, being too long, I am still using the old reliable Twinkle.


So if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate them.   I have been 
thinking about taking the phone numbers out of linphonerc and just 
collecting all the addresses in a txt file.  Then search the txt file 
and past into linphone.  But Twinkle, cumbersome as it is, still seems 
easier than doing all that.

Re: [Linphone-users] genghisk...@gmx.ca

[John White]

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.

It would be good to apply so applications, like Address Books of Email

call to SIP addresses.

P.S. Perhaps there should be a few small adjustments to Linphone
itself in order to make it to work properly with xdg-open

Re: [Linphone-users] slow

[John White]

Switching to 3.6.1 on my slackware linux machine has caused linphone to 
load very, very slowly.  By slow, I mean half an hour or more. I have 
300 some names in linphonerc.  If I take 250 of them out it loads a lot 
faster (about 2 minutes), but is still slow.  But that is not a workable 
solution.  Any suggestions are appreciated.


It loaded pretty slow in 3.5.2 but this is painful.

Hi,

Occasionally, the linphone app will make a beep sound when it starts

The beep sound likes the first beep of the calibration of echo 
cancellation.


So far, I experienced this problem on two Galaxy S4 devices.

Any idea ?

I am still not using linphone because of dropped incoming calls,

Hi,

I just committed a fix for this issue. When disabling ffmpeg
every video rendering filters in mediastreamer2 were disabled
at compilation time because most of them depend on ffmpeg for
scaling (the Xv and SDL rendering filters have this

this dependency but was disabled anyway.
So now we try to enable the OpenGL rendering filter when
ffmpeg is disabled. But for it to be enabled you need to have
the OpenGL development headers and libraries installed.
So if you should now be able to have video with the VP8 codec
without ffmpeg using the OpenGL renderer. Please try and let

Re: [Linphone-users] Phone fails to launch in winXP

[John White]

I sometimes wonder if they care much about slackware linux either. I 
have been trying to get someone to tell me how to avoid linphone 
dropping certain incoming calls after 37 seconds for about a year now, 
without success. I don't think this is how skype became such a 
successful business (before Gates bought it). Linphone is better than 
skype, technically, but has little chance of successfully competing 
until more attention is paid to customer concerns. This is a fact, not a 
criticism. I suspect Linphone's capital situation may be such that it is 
doing the best it can.

[Linphone-users] Fwd: My first post (codec question)

[John White]

Afraid I sent this earlier to wrong address.  Here it is again, with 
apologies.


I don't know what codecs to use to prevent linphone from dropping calls 
and to enhance voice quality.  I have a pretty fast internet connection 
through charter.net.  I use usb headphones.  My system is slackware 
linux.  My computer is a samsung laptop (Vector Linux 7.0 xfce4 Samsung 
RF511 S03).  I downloaded linphone 3.5.2 from the vector repositories.  
I use diamondcard.us for phone calls.


I have tried various combinations of codecs but none seem to work very 
well.  Best so far seems to be PCMU and PCMA by themselves (only) but 
that doesn't seem to work reliably.


I would appreciate a suggestion of what codecs I should have activated 
and what order to have them in.

Thanks for the prompt response.  I have used Twinkle/diamondcard.us

quality is very good on Twinkle.   However, it took me quite a while to 
figure out that, on Twinkle, I could only use G.711 (A-law and G.711 
(u-law) codecs.


Also, though I have only tested the linphone video one evening, I don't 
think I had those problems with the video.  I wasn't paying much 
attention to audio that evening.


On some calls, linphone, with only PCMU and PCMA codecs loaded, works 
fine.  Yesterday, I called my daughter's cellphone using linphone and, 
with those two codecs loaded, spoke to her for half an hour with very 
good voice quality and no drops.


However, the mentioned problems with linphone are bad enough on both my 
fast office (charter.net) and less fast home (dsl) systems that, today, 
I switched back to Twinkle.

I don't know what codecs to use to prevent linphone from dropping 
calls and to enhance voice quality.  I have a pretty fast internet 
connection through charter.net.  I use usb headphones.  My system is 
slackware linux.  My computer is a samsung laptop (Vector Linux 7.0 
xfce4 Samsung RF511 S03).  I downloaded linphone 3.5.2 from the 
vector repositories.  I use diamondcard.us for phone calls.


I have tried various combinations of codecs but none seem to work 
very well.  Best so far seems to be PCMU and PCMA by themselves 
(only) but that doesn't seem to work reliably.


I would appreciate a suggestion of what codecs I should have 
activated and what order to have them in.

Re: [Linphone-users] Fwd: My first post (codec question)

[John White]

PS. I don't mean to say that I switched back to Twinkle permanently.  
Just needed to in order to get my work done.  I hope to switch to 
linphone.  I know, a year or so ago, I tried an earlier version of 
linphone but never could work out the sound quality problems.  I like 
the new interface on 3.5.2. and hope to get the sound quality problem 
put to bed soon.

Thanks for the prompt response.  I have used Twinkle/diamondcard.us 
regularly for a couple of years and don't have that problem.  Voice 
quality is very good on Twinkle.   However, it took me quite a while 
to figure out that, on Twinkle, I could only use G.711 (A-law and 
G.711 (u-law) codecs.
