It is weird. This morning I started Ekiga again. Camera went on,
saw the picture and Ekiga did not hang. The error message about
the network is still there but that is irrelevant. Ekiga is
functional and I could make a call.
The computer was suspended overnight but definitely not reset.
The only thing I can imagine is that another application was
claiming the camera. And by closing the other application the
camera was released. I don't care, I don't use Ekiga with a
camera. It just should not hang.
I was unable to find ekiga.conf. Used "sudo find / -name
"*ekiga.conf*" ". But it is not there. I also started with "-d 3"
to see if the log output would show the config file opened, no
way. The settings are retained, really. There is no
~/.gconf/apps/ekiga directory (after I deleted it).
Thanks anyway, at least Ekiga works again.
Hallo Hans,
I didn't answer your question .
> How do I delete all Ekiga
settings wherever they are?
Yes, Find
that ekiga.conf .
Rename it
and you are good to go and do a fresh instal.
Let us know.
OK,
Tony
