Update: I uninstalled version 5.2.0 - *apt uninstall linphone* and *apt purge linphone*. However when I run Linphone-6.0.0-CallEdition-x86_64.AppImage it opens version 5.2.0 with the same issue. Here is the $ uname -a Linux barryubuntu 6.8.0-52-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Jan 11 00:06:25 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I don't know anything about Appimages so I have no idea why it is calling the old version, which apparently is still on my system. I'll get back to Ubuntu support.
