Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] ekiga can't disconnect

[George Boyd <geboyd53 comcast net>]

Do you both happen to be running the same kernels? What sound drivers
are you using (oss, ALSa, etc.).

I know arts can srew up ALSA and ASLA is having a lot of problems now as
well. From what I have gathered, after you close Ekiga it goes into a
"cleanup" mode. Making sure the program cleanly disconnects from the
service and releases the ports, and locally releases the sound card. If
I am wrong about the closing procedure, someone will be able to explain
it better.

Also are you behind a firewall. If so and it's not configured properly,
that can cause a lot of problems with other programs as well as Ekiga.
It just shows up better in Ekiga.

The problems you are describing are very similar to windo$se  yahoo
messenger program. It gives no error messages, but will show someone on
line hours (and sometimes days) after they have signed off and killed
the program.

I admit that I am not familiar with Gentoo. I run Fedora. When I
disconnect, it takes about 4 seconds to do it's "cleanup"

I wish I could be more helpful for you. But if either of you could run
Ekiga in debug mode, the output would be very valuable in solving your
issues.

Good Luck,
