10
12 Ekiga is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing
13 application which complies to the SIP and H.323 protocols. It can con‐
14 nect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific
15 hardware. Ekiga can work with or without a webcam, and is able to cre‐
16 ate pure audio communications or traditionnal audio+video communica‐
17 tions. Ekiga was fomerly known as GnomeMeeting. Ekiga has been designed
18 for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for storing its
19 userdata. It offers to configure almost every option from within the
20 GUI. Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging during calls.
21 -c to call another URL.

24 -d level
25 turn on debugging (on the console), level should be between 1
26 and 4.
27 -c URL Calls the given URL. Ekiga can be running or not when invoking
29 that option. SIP, H.323 and CALLTO URLs are supported.

33 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps/ekiga/
34 The system wide configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for fur‐
35 ther details on gconf. (The actual place can differ depending on
36 your system's configuration)
37 ~/.gconf/apps/ekiga
38 Per user configuration file. See gconf-config(1) for further
39 details.

42 On startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other
43 GNOME2 app should do) from /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps. Every
44 modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor
45 is reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
