I think in any case, you need to give a little more detail, like which version of linphone, and installed how/from which source, perhaps also about the platform, e.g. output of uname -a in a terminal.
At the moment, Linphone would give you Linphone-6.0.0-CallEdition-x86_64.AppImage, a self-contained, distribution-independent linux binary package for the x86_64 architecture, that is, most modern Intel and AMD processor powered PCs and laptops, via the https://download.linphone.org/releases/linux/latest_app download link, and they'd probably be most interested in helping you troubleshoot that version. Ubuntu, on the other hand, would currently give you linphone 5.2.0-4, split up into a bunch of packages, with liblinphone++11t64 (source: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linphone&searchon=names&suite=noble§ion=all , but Ubuntu would want you to use the package manager, not the website, i.e. Software Center, synaptic, or apt in a terminal, to install). If (and only if) you went or go the Ubuntu way, then you could also ask Ubuntu support. Personally, I'd start here: https://web.libera.chat/gamja/?#ubuntu , choose any Nickname that isn't in use (you'll see when you try to connect). Ubuntu's support options are confusingly many, and so are the places where threads about the same problem could already exist, but one that would look loosely similar, is this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linphone-desktop/+bug/1947005 . It's old and for an old version, but open afaict, and my takeaway from it, is that one thing to try (no promise, but nothing to lose trying), is: at the display manager (the graphical login screen), look if there is a choice between session types that use Wayland and X11, respectively, as the display server, and pick the *other* type you did *not* try yet, i.e. probably switch from Wayland to X11. You don't need to reboot for this: Log Out should be enough. Looking forward to hearing how it goes, and having more exact info if the problem decides to not go away that easily J.
