[Regression] Missing voice mail indicator (MWI) for SIP accounts

[Ian McMichael]

Binary package hint: ekiga

When using Ekiga 2.0.12 from Intrepid with Asterisk, an extension with new voice mail waiting shows a count of the messages waiting in the status bar at the bottom of the window. However when upgraded to Ekiga 3.2.0 on Jaunty there is no longer any indication of messages waiting. Both fail to display anything in the Voice Mails column of the Accounts dialog.

I have attached a SIP trace of the packets between Ekiga and Asterisk on both releases to show that the information is presented. It is not clear from the Ekiga documentation how MWI is supposed to be implemented in this code stream. Is this a regression?

Hi,

Would you try Ekiga 3.2.6 (latest release) to check if the issue is fixed?

Hi Yannick,

I've installed Ekiga 3.2.6~ppa~jaunty1 from your PPA as requested and re-tested. There's still no indication anywhere of voice mail. I'm still not sure where I should see it in the 3.2 code stream but it's not on the status bar (next to the "signal strength" indicator), in the call log, in the Accounts dialog or anywhere on the tray icon.

I've tested logging into an account which already has new messages and missing a call so that I get a new message while on-line. Neither give any indication a message is waiting. There is a new bug in 3.2.6 where the incoming call window remains open even after the call stops ringing and diverts to voice mail. Let me know if you'd like that logged as a separate bug?

Is there any other information I can collect for you?

Regards,

Ian.

Hi,

Thank you for testing! I'm pushing this bug upstream.

For the window remaining open, please report directly upstream (as Ubuntu does not support 3.2.6):
