So,
A few minutes ago I uninstalled flatpak linphone and then reinstalled it, using the linphone web
site install url. I did not lose the addresses. So far I have made 3 calls without it freezing so
perhaps this helped. Sure hope so.

I tried a flatpak - what a nightmare - never again...
I found it easier just to build a Debian package - Desktop 4.1.1 - Qt5.11.3
flatpak is a bad idea for many reasons - security is a joke, but worse, when applications use their
own libs - they don't get security updates - nor bug fixes found in other code that shares the lib.
It is particularly bad for the Linux ecosystem - it is the polishing of shared libs that makes code
robust - the particular difference from the Windoze world. There is a place to use
snaps/AppImage/flatpak - to test something to see if it is worth building - but flatpak appears to
be the worst one and non of them should be used for a working program. Using custom libs is what
makes so much of the Windoze programs insecure/buggy. ( I've been running a Debian desktop for 20
years now - most users don't understand why these paks are such a bad idea. )
