Thanks Adam! I can confirm that post #9 works to create the hidden .linphonerc file in the user's home directory. This file is totally necessary in order for Linphone to work. It is a configuration file. The program will just continue to crash without it. According to Linphone's website it is supposed to be automatically generated on first launch but this does not happen.
This should be a high priority bug for Ubuntu 10.04 as the program is basically useless until the user finds this post :) Maybe it's fixed in higher versions of Linphone >3.2.1. or Ubuntu >10.04 but what normal user would know how to get version 3.2.1. to work? Most people are probably gonna be like, "this is trash"... un-install. I'm just glad there were clever, considerate people who took time and effort to understand the inner workings of this software and post a solution. Seriously, who can just know these things? Linphone is such a good choice too because of it's multi-platform support (Linux, smart- phone, Mac, and Windows compatible). Sidenote: Once you get Linphone working... if it keeps crashing when you switch to Audio & Video mode. Leave the setting under "Nat and Firewall" as "Direct connection to the Internet." I'm behind a NAT/Firewall router so I entered my dynamic IP but it just kept crashing and defaulting to "Direct connection to the Internet." I left the NAT/Firewall setting as "Direct Connection to the Internet" and Video mode instantly started working. I haven't placed a call yet but I could at least see my self- view and verify Linphone and my camera were working. I'll report back once I make a few calls.
