Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ekiga
Hi,
I have Linux PC (Ubuntu Feisty) at home with Ekiga 2.0.3 set to Auto-Answer.
It has a Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000 connected to it via USB and it works just
fine when called from Ekiga on another Linux computer (again, Ekiga 2.0.3)
However, I was away from home and using a Windows Laptop with Ekiga
v2.0.9 on it and I called my AutoAnswer Feisty Linux PC at home to check
on the camera. (I was using Ekiga as a crude security camera.)
Anyway, I noticed that sometimes (about every 1 in 8 calls home) when I
hang up on the Windows laptop (the caller) the Feisty Linux PC (the
receiver) did NOT hang up properly, as far as I can tell. (It is
possible Ekiga had just hung, but it had not crashed and seemd OK when I
looked at top.) The symptom was that I was no longer able to call home,
it said the user was busy. Another user on another PC (a Linux PC)
confirmed that my home Linux PC was busy too.
So, via ssh, I had to remotely kill and restart Ekiga on the home Dapper
Linux PC and it was all OK again, for about another 7 calls home.
So, this is reproducible, but not every time. You need to try about 10
times I would say.
I did NOT select the option to tell it to hang up automatically after 30
seconds of inactivity, by the way.
It might be an issue with Windows Ekiga calling Linux Ekiga - an
incompatibility?
Or it might be an issue with Ekiga version 2.0.9 calling Ekiga version 2.0.3 -
an incompatibility?
Finally, there is no issue when a Linux Ekiga 2.0.3 called my home Linux
PC, when a Linux caller hangs up the auto-answer receiving Linux PC
always automatically hung up too.
Would it be possible to improve the situation with Ekiga so that when
one end of phone call hangs up (e.g. the caller), the other end (e.g.
the receiver) is Guaranteed to hang up too automatically?
Thanks.
