Can anyone suggest a softphone for a openSuse 11.3/KDE4.5 laptop?
I can tell you what doesn't work! Yes I have the telephony repository set up
Twinkle doesn't work Its a KDE3 applciation and yes I have the libraries loaded, but it complains it can't access my ALSA devices when it starts up. Funny, all my KDE4 applications can. When I try to go into the 'settings' it scrambles my screen in the way that David Rankin described a wile ago, and I have to restart the X server and login in again.
Ekiga seems to be a gnome application. It also seems to have problems with getting a sound device to work.
I'm trying Linphone but can't get it to register my sip address
What is there that is KDE4 friendly?
I've had issues in the past with the various software SIP phones in Linux. Configuring was a pain, sometimes they'd work, other times not... mostly not. I've just installed openSUSE 11.4/KDE4.6 and Linphone 3.3.2 was included in the default install. I gave it a try, and it works great. It was reasonably easy to set up the SIP account I have with my VoIP provider. The only thing that's not working at the moment is webcam (which works fine in Skype etc) - but that is a non-issue since my SIP calls are all to landlines or mobiles (ie no video possible anyway). So... If I was to pick one that I'd say works fine with KDE4... it's Linphone. I guess next step is figuring out why you can't register your SIP account.
