Hi, I am a newbee as far as Ring is concerned, but active with Linux and open source for many years. I have been searching the web for quite some time now, but can't seem to find any information on how to use ring form bash. I am using Xubuntu 18.04.1, and tried out the ring(.cx and daemon) 20180228.1.503da2B~ds-1build1 from the repository, and the ring-kde_3.0.0_x86_64.AppImage.
They work in the gui (XFCE). I have a small application that allows my old godmother (96 years) to place a video call by dropping a fotograph on a plate, which in turn activates a Skype call . (She can no longer handle a mouse or a keyboard). But for that I should be able to video call a specific contact directly from a command line interface. I am also testing with Linphone and Ekiga (SIP), but encounter quality problems with the connection (that is well with Skype). Could ring provide me the solution ? I would love it, being an official GNU package and being released under the GPLv3 licence. Brgds, Yvo Brasseur. -- *IT beheer met raad en daad ...* Gasthuisstraat 25, 3200 Aarschot Gsm: +32/(0)475/53.92.86 Tel.: +32/(0)16/57.05.40 Skype ID: yvo.brasseur (Pls send SMS or mail before using Skype to have it activated.)
