did you tried Ekiga ?

[andrea000]

No i looked at it is it any better then qutecom?on qutecom website i can't find the package to download.
Any help please.

The link titled Ubuntu packages: is on the front page, however, the fact that they don't offer direct links should be taken as a hint. You might be better off using Ekiga after all.

Ekiga should do the same job (or even just install skype?), but to get Qutecom, i would look at https://edge.launchpad.net/~cavedon/+archive/ppa

To install it, try...
gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.listand add...
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/cavedon/ppa/ubuntu hardy main...to the end of the file. Then do...
sudo apt-get update and then open synaptic package manager to find and install it.

you all were right i got Qutecom installed and it wasn't that good
at all so installed ekiga Ekiga worked great

Thanks a lot for your help guys :popcorn:

Looks like the Ubuntu package on their site is out of date, and it's not in the Jaunty repository yet, but there is a backport request:

Update: I just compiled QuteCom from the Karmic repository, and am pleased to find that it works with one of my SIP accounts that Ekiga fails with. I think I'll stick with it.

I seem to have some firewall problems with my Ekiga. Even after I opened some ports [5000 to 5100 and so on] on my DLink DIR 300 wireless router, it still has issues connecting. I fired up KPhone and... voa lah! It's been working.

So you might wanna give KPhone a try. [I use Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty]




sudo apt-get install kphone

Here you might find an ubuntu package of qutecom for 9.04

Unfortunately ekiga's sound playback (ekiga 3.2.0) does not work in Jaunty. I wonder why they included it if it wasn't working with pulse audio.
