Faisal, Paltalk doesn't work 100 percent perfectly, with it's heavy reliance upon java.. When I first attempt to open http://express.paltalk.com/ Firefox acts like this page has full focus, it won't let me click any other previous tabs, Finally after about 1 minute and 8 seconds I get the paltalk login box, Once I log in, you never see done as a page loading status in the lower left corner of the browser, instead the entire time it's open the status of the site toggles from ....waiting express.paltalk.com to ....Transferring data from express.paltalk.com.... In GkRellm it shows one of my dual processors pegged at 100%. If once it's loaded I navigate in the same browser to another site, and then go back to express.paltalk it pegs out the other processor at 100% and takes the same amount of time to load.
Apparently there is an issue with hearing others voices and talking through express paltalk, even though paltalk claims it works under linux. All of this brings me to my point. **** What can firefox/ubuntu developers do to make paltalk work better with ubuntu? There are equal reports with similar issues in other distributions. ***** If you can ever get to the point where your paltalk opens up and you are able to login, they do have their own bug reporting mechanism, and by reporting there your concerns would be addressed by their developers. Encourage others to report as well. In this case the squeaky wheel might get the oil. I will be filing bugs through their mechanism too, but my I don't really have any previous experience with paltalk on any other platform, so I probably won't really bring up all of the concerns a veteran paltalk user might have. On a side note, I installed the paltalk windows app through wine. It installed for me without issue, but froze up when trying to use. As a bare minimum, you could report like I will that they need to port that to at the least a linux binary client. -- unable to play paltalk express in ubuntu 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/313303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
