[Ekiga-list] ekiga 3.00 dependency ubuntu-desktop (Hardy)

["Jarlaxl Lamat" <sztaasz gmail com>]

Hello all,

I just tried to install ekiga 3.00 on ubuntu hardy (64-bit) following directions here: https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive
Yes i am behind a NAT and have to open ports for ekiga.
All went fine and ubuntu-desktop was unistalled among others.
Running ekiga 3 started the druid(which btw kept all setting from 2)  which warned me for opening ports(which was not the case since ports were opened already ie for ekiga 2)
Nevertheless i was able to connect to my account and make a test call succesfully.
-Some problems appeared though:
a-Contact list would not show other groups added.
b-With ekiga minimized clicking on the "ekiga agent" would not maximize it.
c-Manual resizing of ekiga window was not possible.
d-V4L is not supported (for my camera Logitech quickcam).

Restarted my computer to only find out that every time i started ekiga i receive the annoying message about port forwarding and more importantly not being able to connect to my acount @ekiga.net
about previous problems:
a- was solved
b-problem remained
c-didnt check out
d-not solved

Going back to ekiga 2 (after installing ubuntu desktop and dependencies) and a

killall -9 gconfd-2

for the gconf error gave me back ekiga 2 running without any further problems (didnt have to run druid or make any additional setting-all were kept)

My question is if someone has a  workaround which will make it for hardy (that does not uninstall ubuntu desktop).
I am aware that Yannick has solved the dependency problem for interpid (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ekiga/+bug/274085).
Thats all my story i d really love to see ekiga 3 for hardy since i believe will bring more people into it.

have fun
