The error message means that another application is already using the port Ekiga is trying to open (probably UDP 5060 for SIP or TCP 1720 for H.323 or both). Another possibility would be that you have no network interface ready when Ekiga starts. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ NOVACOM : http://www.novacom.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

That should be fine. The other possible culprit then is that you have a previous instance of ekiga running which hasn't been killed properly. Looking at your original email again I see that I missed this line: "When I quit ekiga, the window closes but it just hangs and doesn't terminate." So, it's quite possible that you have a previous instance of ekiga hanging around. You can check for sure with "netstat -p -l | grep ekiga" and follow it up with a "killall ekiga" or just kill the PID mentioned in the /ekiga column output from the above. Hope that helps, I'm out of easy ideas after that. Best wishes, Oisin Feeley ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

Making sure that Ekiga is trying to use the correct network interface: Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> Network Settings -> Network Interface: ListenOn 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 3. You can get more information by running ekiga from the command line with the highest debugging level "ekiga -d 4" Hope some of that helps.

[Ekiga-list] Newbie ekiga Linux problems
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 (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.
