Port listeningn / registration broken (by design)

[V S]

Running edgy and the latest ekiga,

when for instance connected through WLAN and the link goes down and comes back up, Ekiga doesn't re-register but stays offline. You have to register by hand again.

Also, if I start it when my links are down, it doesn't know how to start the listeners. Registration is impossible, when I try it, it immediately says it didn't work and I don't see any network traffic in the sniffer.

Has this been upstreamed? Do you need more information?

Thanks for your bug report. Is this still an issue with the latest version of ekiga? Which version are you currently using? You can check via 'dpkg -l ekiga'.

Yes, it is. This is by design, as I pointed out. It's in 2.0.3-0ubuntu5 as well as in snapshot 20070208-01-feisty.1 from snapshots.ekiga.net.

It goes as far as when starting ekiga when I have no network connection for it being unfunctional until restarted (even trying to register my account by hand doesn't work, it just always says "registration failed" presumably because it doesn't have the socket to use).

Hey,

to be clear: I have to fully restart the application each time there's a change in my network topology. I don't know what the criteria for "low" bugs is, though.

[V S (th-deactivatedaccount-deactivatedaccount)]

Sorry for still bitching, but now with network manager this happens upon every boot (because the network isn't up yet when ekiga starts). So I can't get ekiga to start automatically when I start X.

The gnomemeeting / ekiga bug report mentions opal being a blocker for this and links here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1588780&group_id=80674&atid=560612

That should be fixed long time ago, please reopen if you still get the issue.
