Package: ekiga Version: 2.0.11-2ubuntu2 Severity: normal Most modern webcam and capture devices are V4L2 based, but gstreamer and Ekiga both default to using V4L instead. The V4L API isn't even available in 2.6 kernels beyond 2.6.15, so it makes much more sense to not default to it.
Webcam capture applications that use V4L2 will tend to throw errors that are daunting to new users for this reason. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers hardy APT policy: (500, 'hardy') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-8-generic (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ekiga depends on: ii evolution-data-ser 2.21.92-0ubuntu1 evolution database backend server ii gconf2 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.21.92-0ubuntu1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7ubuntu1 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.22-2ubuntu1 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.22-2ubuntu1 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.22-2ubuntu1 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.21.90-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.21.90-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-5ubuntu2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.5.8-0ubuntu1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1ubuntu2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libebook1.2-9 2.21.92-0ubuntu1 Client library for evolution addre ii libedataserver1.2- 2.21.92-0ubuntu1 Utility library for evolution data ii libesd-alsa0 [libe 0.2.38-0ubuntu8 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libgcc1 1:4.2.3-2ubuntu1 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.15.6-0ubuntu1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.21.91-0ubuntu2 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.21.90-0ubuntu1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.8-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liblaunchpad-integ 0.1.15 library for launchpad integration ii libopal-2.2 2.2.11~dfsg1-3ubuntu2 Open Phone Abstraction Library - s ii liborbit2 1:2.14.12-0ubuntu1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.19.3-1ubuntu1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3build1 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libpt-1.10.10 1.10.10-1ubuntu5 Portable Windows Library ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.13-1ubuntu1 Simple DirectMedia Layer ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.2.3-2ubuntu1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.1.3-1ubuntu1 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-1ubuntu1 GNOME XML library Versions of packages ekiga recommends: ii yelp 2.21.90-0ubuntu2 Help browser for GNOME 2 -- no debconf information --- Mario Limonciello Dell | Linux Engineering Desk : (512) 723-0582 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
