Like you, Jaroslaw Rafa, I want to /do/ things with my computer and not make my life about configuring it, so I have been happily using KDE desktop on openSUSE distribution since 2003. Maybe KDE desktop would be more suitable for your needs. With only one exception in KDE history, changes in the desktop were incremental, and desktop configuration files were automatically converted by the desktop system. Since 2003, there have been only 3 instances where there were significant user-facing changes in the desktop. In 2003, we had KDE 3.1. Then there was a major and quite inconvenient change to KDE Plasma 4 in 2008. Then there was a evolutionary change to KDE Plasma 5 in 2014, and we have been on KDE Plasma 5 ever since. With each small change from 2008 through today, desktop configuration files were automatically converted for users by the desktop system. Maybe openSUSE Leap[1] distribution would be more suitable for your needs. Starting with openSUSE Leap 15.3, which will be released on June 2nd, 2021, openSUSE will be based on SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). SLE will be supported until July 31st, 2028. In my experience, applications are carried in repositiories across versions. In rare instances when an application becomes unavailable in a release version, it can usually be found and installed from the Software portal[2]. Wikipedia[3] describes openSUSE Leap as "Leap is a classic stable distribution approach, one release each year and in between security and bugfixes. This makes Leap very attractive as server operating system, but as well for Desktops since it requires little maintenance effort. Online release upgrades are mostly so unspectacular and trouble-free that the community already proposed, the next release should be called 'boring'." If you want to use KDE and openSUSE isn't for you, there are multiple options. For example, you could install KDE on Ubuntu[4], or switch to Kubuntu[5], the official KDE variant of Ububtu. I am using: Desktop Linphone v4.1.1-lp152.6.2 on openSUSE Leap 15.2 for x86_64 (Linux) installed via binary RPM KDE Plasma v5.18.6 KDE Frameworks v5.71.0 Qt v5.12.7 [1] https://www.opensuse.org/#Leap [2] https://software.opensuse.org/ [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE [4] https://itsfoss.com/install-kde-on-ubuntu/ [5] https://kubuntu.org/ ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users

Jaroslaw Rafa, when you say "So with standard releases I would have to continuously upgrade, configure, resolve issues, again upgrade, configure, resolve issues", are you referring to desktop configuration, or something else? If something else, please specify. If you are referring to desktop configuration, what desktop do you use? Gnome? KDE? Are you open to using a efferent desktop? ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users

Well, Ubuntu 21.04 has currently version 4.2.5-3 in it's repository, but Ubuntu 20.04 still has 3.12.0-3.1. And I want to stick with 20.04 because it's a LTS (Long Term Support) release, which means it's supported for 5 years, while 21.04 is a standard release with only 1,5 year of support. I use only LTS releases because 1,5 year of support means for me that shortly after you get used to the system, have customized it to your needs and started to feel comfortably in the environment the support is over (and so there are no more updates) and you have to upgrade to a new release. So with standard releases I would have to continuously upgrade, configure, resolve issues, again upgrade, configure, resolve issues etc. which leaves little time to do any actual productive work on the system :). As linphone-desktop package is dependent on 17 other packages (at least that's the number of packages that were automatically installed as dependencies when I installed the program), of which 15 are various libraries, I guess it isn't easy to upgrade without risking messing up my system. Is there any PPA which contains backports of current Linphone version to older, still supported Ubuntu releases? I have found only this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~linphone/+archive/ubuntu/release/ but it contains builds only for old, already unsupported Ubuntu releases - the highest available is 16.04, with Linphone version 3.9.1. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users

[Linphone-users] Is it possible to change recordings location?
Hello, I just installed Linphone on Ubuntu 20.04. The main feature that I need is the call recording. However, I don't see any option in preferences to change the default location for the recorded files. The program saves all recordings in the default ~/Music directory. I'd rather use a different location, because this folder is pretty crowded in my system and I don't want to mix phone call recordings with actual music in my music players. Is there any way to change this? I have read somewhere about a dialog that Linphone is supposed to display, asking where to save the recording, but no such dialog appears for me. When I click the "Record" button, Linphone just starts recording to the default ~/Music folder and when the call ends, the recording just ends automatically and the recorded file stays in the ~/Music directory. The version of Linphone that I have installed is the current one from Ubuntu "universe" repository: 3.12.0-3.1 -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." ___ Linphone-users mailing list Linphone-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/linphone-users
