Re: [Linphone-users] address@hidden

Ghengis,

I think I followed your directions but I still can't get linphone to 
load properly.   If I load it when I am not connected to the internet it 
loads fine and fast.  But once I connect, it takes half hour before it 
is usable.

Concerning your comment:

   The following line should be added to linphone.desktop file.

     MimeType=x-scheme-handler/sip;

I presume you mean /usr/share/applications/linphone.desktop as there is 
no linphone.desktop in my /.local subdirectory (just linphone-call.desktop).


Here is what I use $ xdg-open sip:(my username)@diamondcard.us.tld just 
in case I am making error here.

Linphone loads, says I am registered, but it cannot be used for about 
half an hour when there are lots of names and phonenumbers in linphonerc.

If you have any other suggestions, they are most appreciated.

I see your link to ekiga and  I like ekiga except that it requires use 
of evolution.  If I could figure out a decent way to input addresses on 
ekiga I would use that as I am getting real tired of linphone's quirks.
