[kopete] Looking for RPM with Voice Support in 0.12.2

Hi,

I am on SuSE 9.3, I failed to build 0.12.2 with phone support based on instructions here:

http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Kopete+Jabber+Jingle

Then I found a kopete 0.12.2 RPM for SuSE 9.3 here

http://software.opensuse.org/download/re…0.12.2-2.1.html

It does not seem to have a voice support, or I am failing to find it - I am connected with someone on MSN and can chat, I expected to see a menu item or something like "enable voice" but do not see it anywhere. Is there a kopete RPM with voice support or is the only way to build it myself?

Thanks Milan

There is no voice support for MSN. There is only voice support for jabber.

[kopete] Version 0.12.2 with voice support

Thanks - now I am connected to a Jabber-based account (gmail on windows), we can chat, but I do not see a way to start a voice chat from Kopete. There is nothing about voice on the interface nor I see anything in "Properties" or "Configure". Am I missing something, or does that mean the rpm I installed does not have voice support?

Thanks Milan

PS: I started this as a quest of finding an IM on Linux which can do _both_ voice and webcam to at least one IM on Windows .... so far I did not find it.

There is video support for MSN and Yahoo! in Kopete. Audio support in Kopete is for jabber only.
When chatting with someone on jabber, whose client hat support for voice converstaions, the chatwindow shows an icon in the toolbar (looks like a headset). This icon starts a voice conversation. You may also start the voice conversation via the context menu of the contact in your contactlist (open the menu with the right mouse button). If you do not see the menu entry for "voice call", the RPM has probably been built without support for jabber voice conversations.

[kopete] Looking for RPM with Voice Support in 0.12.2

Thanks again, really appreciate your help.

Just tried, when chatting with someone who has voice (gmail), I do not see anything to do with "voice" in context menu or in menubar.

I guess that leaves me with a question (as I was not able to build kopete with voice as I mentioned): would you know of a kopete RPM that is build with voice support? (ideally for SuSE; I did not find it on Google or a few RPM sites).

Thanks

Here are two links that might help you.

I don't know if you can use one of these packages, but you could try.

Thanks for all your help and pointers. And sorry for being absent after your suggestion. I tried, but neither of the rpms gave me voice inside kopete. Then I waited for kopete in latest KDE (Suse), but it does not have voice either.

I started this quest of trying to find a chat-like application that I could use on Linux, and be able to communicate, voice+webcam, with someone on Windows (MSN, Skype, anything, I did not care).

After research and trying, I have to conclude (to the best of my abilities) there is no combination of Linux voice+webcam application working with Windows voice+webcam that works.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, and I will keep trying :)
