Ekiga does not work in Lucid

[Russel Winder]

Binary package hint: ekiga

Skype is working fine, but Ekiga cannot make a test call: attempting to make a call results in an immediate "Call complete".

If you let me know what data to provide I can collect it.

Thanks.

Hi,

We have a patch wich modify the network part of the audio and video streams when behind a NAT. As this is the case here (after a quick look), this patch might solve the issue. Would you be kind enough to test it?

Get Ekiga 3.2.6 for Karmic with this patch here (same code as Ekiga 3.2.6 with just the patch which is a small one):
https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive/ppa

I do not have much time to port this to Lucid, but should not be hard to do, I'll try if I find some spare time and if the patch seems worth it...

Best regards,
Yannick

I've installed ekiga_3.2.6~ppa~karmic1_i386.deb from your PPA under Lucid and managed to make a call. Thanks very much!

I just "downgraded" the installed Ekiga from the Ubuntu Lucid repository to this Karmic versioned version from your PPA, and it works just fine :-)

Any chance of getting this in to the Lucid distribution as an exception? The argument is that it works in Karmic and doesn't in Lucid without this bug fix.

Old bug fixed, closing...
