Hi all,
Thank you guys for making such a beautiful OS: FreeBSD 9. I have installed FreeBSD 9 over (format, clean install) my previous FreeBSD 8.2.
Earlier in the previous version I wasn't able to install Skype, but now in FreeBSD 9, i am. What I did was I followed http://tyuu.com/wordpress/?p=559 (Please translate it to english first) and installed emulators/linux_base-f10 first. I have then installed skype port from net-im/skype and then [cmd=]make install clean[/cmd] Now I am able to login fine into skype.
[I have a laptop and a desktop. The desktop is on FreeBSD 9. This is the environment which I am testing on]
But when I call somebody, it rings on the other end, but as soon as the person on the other end picks up that call, it gets disconnected, it says that "There's a problem with this call" and tries to reconnect (This is what is shown at the other end). Now for any incoming call it displays on my FreeBSD 9 Desktop that "Name" is calling you but when I pick up the call it is actually getting denied (It gets disconnected actually). Can you please help me about calling feature in skype?
I was searching on the internet using google and found this: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.co...io-Playback-Messages-work-fine-td4434868.html. Then in my skype >> options >> Sound Devices I have set Microphone to Default, speakers to OSS and Ringing to OSS. When I was reading the article above it says that OSS has been dropped so I also tried editing /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf. This is what it looks like:
Earlier before editing I was not even able to call. After editing this file I am able to make a call and it gets displayed at the other end but gets rejected when the person picks up the call. I am sure the sound card driver is installed because I am able to play videos from youtube with sound and video. The second problem is that when there is an incoming call it is not ringing in the speakers and neither in the headphone as well.
Can you help, please.
Thank You
