Webcam on Ubuntu, part VI

ekiga-20060321.jpg On a tip from Christian Juner, I installed Ekiga on Breezy. It seems to work on Dapper Drake. It also seems to work, almost, on Breezy.

For a reason I've not yet managed to discover, my registration is coming back "Forbidden." Yet I can login at ekiga.net. The log, Tools > General History, is concise. The folks on the mailing list who seem to have had the same symptoms all got around it. One person said a change of passwords worked.

I've not yet tried to learn which ports I might be supposed to open. Tried to interest Luke in trying this out at work since he was on Windows. He saw the intructions for using SIP with whatever Microsoft's comparable software is called and gave up before trying.
