Re: [Ekiga-list] ekiga pegs the CPU if started with the camera device turned off
Hi Matthias, Thank you for investigating this issue further. Yes, I could compile ekiga from sources. I did this earlier with 3.0.1. It took me a while to track down all the needed libraries, but I eventually made a working version.

Damien, > If there is no debug output, do you also reach 50% CPU in the same > situation ? Yes. The CPU usage isn't just due to the last number of debug messages. In fact, I see ekiga and Xorg together using up about 100% of the CPU. The proportion used by each varies a little bit depending on whether the debug output is on.

Hi Mathias, > Hmm, you turn off the camera? Yes. > Does this mean that the opening of the > camera will fail ( do you get a window?) Yes, it fails. I get a popup that says "Error while accessing video device GNF7129". > and the moving logo will be > displayed? What do you see when you open the call widget? I get the moving logo, and the CPU goes down to less than a few percent (and stays that way even if I now close the call widget).

Just preview and deactivated call view? The eee PC 901 has an inbuilt camera that can be deactivated to save power. If I turn off the camera, and then start ekiga, the CPU load stays at 50% until the call view panel is displayed. Actually I just did some more tests and it isn't quite that simple! I only get the CPU problem if, in a previous invocation of ekiga I was displaying images from the camera. If I then deactivate the call view frame, exit ekiga, turn off the camera, and restart ekiga, _then_ I see the 30 errors/second and 50% CPU.

[Ekiga-list] ekiga pegs the CPU if started with the camera device turned off
A bug report: With ekiga 3.0.0 SNV on Ubuntu 8.04 on an eee PC 901 I find that ekiga uses about 50% of the CPU continuously if started with the camera turned off. It repeats the following message every 30 milliseconds or so: 2008/11/25 09:01:37.588 0:15.953 GMVideoOut...0xb5319b90 GMVideoOutputManager_X Widget not yet realized or gconf info not yet set, not opening display The CPU usage returns to normal if one selects View->Show Call Panel.

Re: [Ekiga-list] ekiga: could not set TOS field in IP header
Damien, Thank you for your rapid reply. > The fact that you can (or can not) set the TOS field should have no > influence on the result of the echo test. It is certainly not mandatory > to have the TOS field set to be able to make a call. You are right (of course). Further investigation at debug level 4 showed that the real problem was a "488 Not acceptable here" reply to a "100 Giving a try" request. I fixed this by enabling all the audio codecs (for some reason I had a different set of codecs enabled when I tried ekiga as root).

[Ekiga-list] ekiga: could not set TOS field in IP header
Hi folks, With ekiga-snapshot (ekiga 3.0.0 SVN) on Ubuntu 8.04 I find that ekiga can register OK, but when I try the echo test I receive the following message (at debug level 1): dialer:0xb523db90 RTP_UDP Session 1, could not set TOS field in IP header: Operation not permitted. My understanding is that I need the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to set TOS, but beats me how to obtain that capability, or why no one else on the planet seems to have come across this problem. This issue is possibly related to my earlier attempt to compile and run ekiga 3.0.1 from sources. If I run ekiga as root, the echo test succeeds.
