Re: [Ekiga-list] Profiles?
Thank you all, you have converted my to switching between users. I had thought that changing between users takes longer than changing between profiles would (e.g. in Thunderbird or Gajim), but Rahyen's suggestion to use two consoles and switch with Ctrl+Alt+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+F8 is the fastest way. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Ekiga has multiple accounts - which I use all the time. Enable/disable accounts as needed. Or just pick which account to use for a call on the dropdown. A profile would be for things like: 1) which audio/video devices 2) different sets of accounts enabled by default 3) different STUN settings i.e. - the user is moving a mobile device into a different environment ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Why not create one more home directory? Then you can run two instances of Ekiga - one yours, one someone else's. In KDE, for example, you can use kdesu -u another_user -c ekiga to run somebody else's program. If you do not use KDE, I'm sure your desktop environment have something similar - use Google. But I would recommend running 2 sessions simultaneously instead for maximum personalization so you can switch between different accounts with Ctrl+Alt+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+F8 (switching usually takes about a second, so it's very convenient). Setting up multiseat configuration is another option, but I have never tried that, so I cannot give any details about it. ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga.net does not appear to use password hashes

I am faily certain I can only recieve Cone NAT is supported, no need to configure anything. But as shown below you use an old version, I do not know how it works for it... incomming connections on ports I explicitly forward; or in response to an outgoing request. I have not tried forwarding ports yet. I hope to eventually set up an Asterix gateway, then point Ekiga to that. Regards, James Phillips PS: I hope to eventually use IPv6 and encryption as well. Not sure how suitable Ekiga would be for that. I would say that IPv6 could be available in a few months, if everything goes well, but sometimes I am very bad at guessing dates. Encryption is more tricky, I have really no estimation. PPS: I may be testing an old version of Ekiga: 2.0.12 Indeed.

Re: [Ekiga-list] I get "Could not register. Method not allowed" error. What does it mean?

I'm trying to use Ekiga as SIP client on the same computer I have
asterisk running. I do not have router or firewall in my local
network.
Ekiga does not work for me at all. I created SIP account in it, as my
Name, User and Authentication User I have entered my SIP login, as
password - my SIP password, as "Registrar" - IP address of my
asterisk SIP server (192.168.1.2) - the same one I use in my hardware
SIP phones. And I get "Could not register. Method not allowed"
(visible in Edit->Accounts).
On start up, after some time, I get message "Could not register
sip:myname@192.168.1.2", and then "Ekiga did not manage to configure
your network settings automatically. ... Please see [link] for
instructions". But the link is about configuring routers which I do
not have. I do not have firewall either. Just network switch and
gateway, some other computers and hardware SIP phones in my local
network. And this is probably irrelevant anyway, because Ekiga and
Asterisk are on the same computer.
I use default 5060 port in sip.conf. I have created separate account
in sip.conf for software phone. If I try to use this new account in
hardware SIP phone, it works. But Ekiga does not. If I ignore the
errors and try to dial some phone number (local or global - does not
matter), I get "Remote user is busy" immediately.
If I try to enter in the Registrar field 192.168.1.2:5060, only error
I get is "Ekiga did not manage to configure your network settings
automatically ...", and no other errors. But the result is the same:
I get "Remote user is busy" immediately when trying to dial a
number.
Asterisk log, even in the most verbose mode, does not show any
attempt to register (or anything else) when I run Ekiga.
Since it looks like there are plenty of people who use Ekiga as SIP
client, I assume I'm doing something wrong. I cannot figure out what
exactly by myself, so I will appreciate any help.
The error "Ekiga did not manage..." is shown because your network is
connected to Internet through a NAT which is not (well) supported by
ekiga. However, you do not want to connect to Internet, so this message
is irrelevant in your case. You can avoid it by manually checking
Disable/Enable network detection in Preferences.
Now, you say you have a registration error (the call error is normal,
since you are not registered). The only way to see where the problem is
is to send us a -d 4 output, see
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Debugging_Ekiga#How_to_get_a_debug_output.
"Method not allowed" simply means, as far as I know, that asterisk
answers with an error which translated into English gives exactly that
("Method not allowed").
