Okay.

 When I call 5...@ekiga.net I get my video echoed back to me. However, if
 I call 5...@ekiga.net so that 5...@ekiga.net calls me back, I only get my

 This is normal, Damien confirmed (520 is audio only).

[Ekiga-list] Documentation on NAT UDP timeouts

mentions,

ip_conntrack_udp_timeout
ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream

but sysctl from a 2.6.26 kernel instead has,

net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_udp_timeout = 30
net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream = 180
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout = 30
net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream = 180

which I'm guessing are what I have to adjust on my system.
(Changing the first pair seems to automatically change the second.)

I'm having difficulty finding any setting in trunk's Ekiga GUI or gconf
stuff corresponding to `you can configure each account to refresh the
registration every 180 seconds'.

I've been fascinated that since forwarding UDP 5060-5100 at my router to
the machine I use Ekiga from, my separate Broadvoice SIP phone (behind
the same NAT) still works okay - netstat-nat is currently reporting,

udp   broadvoice.mtbc.internal:sip   147.135.32.222:sip ASSURED

I wonder how they do it. The Broadvoice box /stops/ working if I turn on
the Linux 2.6 CONFIG_NF_NAT_SIP kernel option on the router, though I
wondered if that option would help Ekiga or not.

Yes; at least, that's how I do it. In the distribution I use (Debian) it
was packaged separately so I had to install it separately.

 Based on the threads I've read, I believe the Ekiga config file is

 The error message means that another application is already using the

Unfortunately from my original message you can see that this is not so.

 Another possibility would be that you have no network interface ready
 when Ekiga starts.

This is also not so - I was online just fine and its config had the
correct interface selected.

 Have you tried:
 1. Making sure that Ekiga is trying to use the correct network interface:
 Edit - Preferences - Protocols - Network Settings - Network Interface:

Good idea. It is using the correct interface.

 2. That your firewall is set up correctly.  The wiki
 http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Ekiga_behind_a_NAT_router has a wealth of
 information on the topic (although the first-time setup GUI should have
 given you information about it you can run it again by
 Edit - Configuration Druid

I have it set to use STUN with stun.ekiga.net - might that not suffice?
The NAT test thing said Port Restricted NAT.

Mind you, I'm about to change ISP, and I could compile SIP and H.323
support into my NAT box - might that fix the error I saw? I'm just kind
of surprised from the error message that ekiga gave that it didn't seem
to be able to distinguish between errors caused by ports already being
taken on my local machine so that it couldn't bind to them, and errors
caused by needing to forward ports on a separate router!

(And, of course, it still doesn't see my camera, although previous
versions of things did, and mplayer still does. ): )

 3. You can get more information by running ekiga from the command line with
 the highest debugging level ekiga -d 4

Aha, that might tell me what I've been complaining about missing,

[Ekiga-list] Newbie ekiga Linux problems

2008-05-31 Thread Mark T.B. Carroll
Perhaps I'm missing some documentation - if so, just point me toward
what I'm meant to be looking at that answers these.

I'm using Ekiga 2.0.11 under 64-bit Linux 2.6.24.

When I start ekiga, it tells me I won't be able to receive incoming
calls. However, it just says 'Error while starting the listener ...' and
'check no other program is running on the port used ...' without saying
anything about what the error was or what port it's talking about! Not
that I'm aware of any reason why anything else would be listening on
such ports:

$ netstat -l -A inet
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address   Foreign Address State  
tcp0  0 *:auth  *:* LISTEN 
tcp0  0 localhost:smtp  *:* LISTEN 
udp0  0 *:bootpc*:*
udp0  0 evangeline.aetion.i:ntp *:*
udp0  0 localhost:ntp   *:*
udp0  0 *:ntp   *:*
$ 

When I quit ekiga, the window closes but it just hangs and doesn't
terminate.

Most annoying, though, is that it won't detect my camera. (USB Logitech
QuickCam Pro.) The same camera used to work with an older ekiga at one
time on my previous computer. I'm currently using the uvcvideo module
v0.1.0 and I do have v4l2_pwplugin.so (from libpt-1.10.10). mplayer sees
my camera just fine with device=/dev/video0:driver=v4l2 and uvcvideo
says, uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device unnamed (046d:08cb)
Yet, ekiga doesn't seem to detect it at all. What it's doing when I
press the 'Detect' button I have no idea.

Where should I start with all this?

I'm also curious about how Ekiga gets on with videotelephony to Mac
users. I had a bit of a look at XMeeting but the project looks rather
dead of late and my impression is that iChat expects XMPP.
