Folk, > ... versions of Ekiga and Skype ... problem ...
The worst difficulties for me are with audio devices rather than with applications which use them. The USB-audio adapter always initializes but the on-board Intel audio sometimes fails. I'll guess that this involves timing of startup processes. When the Intel audio is absent, the Skype icon appears as usual. Hours or days later, after a correspondent complains that I didn't answer a call, ringing is found to be redirected from the speakers to the headset. Skype never indicates this of course. Appears that when Ekiga fails to find a device, the toolbar icon is not displayed. A rational behaviour; thanks to Ekiga. I'm phasing out Skype DID in favour of Ekiga DID and hoping the flaws in Linux device initialization are fixed, sooner rather than later. Regards, ...
