I've got a fedora16 running and I'd like to use ekiga as a softphone.

Now I'm running into some problems.

Starting ekiga as a normal user gives me

could not register (globally not acceptable)

So I was pretty stuck.

Now I tried running ekiga with sudo and it worked.

So I asume, that it is a problem with the rights-management about the network settings.

I also have problems when I try running some server applications like apache and try to connect from a pc in the local network.

So it would be nice if someone could explain me, what to do, to get ekiga running as a normal user.

  • Fedora 16 is *long* end-of-life, no more updates. Upgrade. – vonbrand Mar 11 '14 at 00:30
  • You are probably behind a symmetric NAT (or just a firewall that blocks UDP 5060). – Attila O. Feb 18 '15 at 16:15
  • well, you know I had this problem 3 years ago. AFAIR Fedoras right-management was tricky. So in the mean time I switched between Arch, Ubuntu and Windows 8. Thank you for your efforts. – daniel Feb 19 '15 at 20:44

You can try adding the regular user in some groups like audio, video, if it's not already present.
