ooVoo Forums

Why are you asking for an oovoo under ubuntu "oovoo 4 linux ( ubuntu )"?, let me say that linux is linux, when we talk about linux, it is general no matter if it is Centos, debian, suse, fedora, redhat, etc. Linux is linux.

I am still waiting for oovoo under linux, it doesn't matter in which distro it should be, linux is linux, another point i hate ubuntu, is the only distro who does not have gave any contribution to the linux world, all other distros has done it but ubuntu just has got benefits of linux but never has gave any contribution to it, well it is another topic, but it is my opinion, but besides all, ubuntu is the way how linux should not be used, is the perfect example of what Linux should not be, and those ones who believe the oposite and think that ubuntu is great, i feel sorry for them.

 Well i am another user who has not test oovoo because i use Linux, my reasons?, are a lots, i have been reading about oovoo and i have more o less years waiting for a linux version for oovoo, i do not see the problem to realease an opensource aplication for oovoo, it would be a great market for the enterprise it will call to another developers in the world to work on it, and will be a benefit to the enterprise and linux clients. Besides that i can understand if the enterprise does not want to release their code, but it does not matter the quality of the aplication, the users likes the quality of the service, i do not care if there is a software better than the one i am using to call my family and comunicate eith others, what i care is that if i got problems they can solve it in short time than others, and also i can used it in other plataforms, in that way i can not talk just with specific users, but with all the world. What sense is to talk with people that are just under windows when all my family is under linux?, i do not care the windows users, i do not care the Mac users, i care my family and comunicate with them, if somebody offerme to an aplication that does it, i would chose it, better if that application i can help for develop, no matter if i pay for the account, but communication with my mom and dad, has no price. So if somebody offerme to take the oovoo app make an reverse engeneering to make a Linux app, i wont care because my need, and i could pay it, i am not saying i will, but i am agree with the idea that the applications should be free of limits about the plataform, just because windows is popular it does not mean that others does not exist or because the job we have is the only thing we have got does not mean there is something better.

In few words i am another Linux users waiting for a oovoo Linux version. And i am getting convinced that no matter how many times we call their door, they are just looking for money, if it is for lack of money to develop it is understandable, if it is so hard to develop a Linux version it is not so difficult to release it under a free license, unless they do not want it, well i will be waiting a linux version of this app, or another, the first to be released that i will used, but Linux is the past, the present and the future, more users are joinning to it and it is a market that another company will be interested to got. I used skype, but i would like a video conference with my family, i will keep surfing the web until find a great video conference that let me do it.

Well i am another Linux user that is still waiting for an clear answer. Sorry if i sound strong.

you are such an idiot, maybe you shot your mouth, linux is not linux, every linux is different, and ubuntu is the best of all of them you stupid idiot, it works out of the box, and all the others are just not working like they should.

and also you idiot you stupid with your stupid post when you don`t want to use a distro then don`t use  it, but just shut up. we do not need such idiots like you, and just go from where you come and leave us alone here, we do not need such stupid people like you.

hate yourself and shut up.

 @Ilanesh: behave yourself and stay polite! it's this kind of behavior that make ppl to not support your ideals!

@rojoblandino: i understand your argument about communication yet wethe "linux users" have many alternative to oovoo and skype like Ekiga. And it works pretty good tbh! i would like to see someone reverse enginering someone works! it's Like M$ trying to improve the web navigater by rewriting from Mozilla project. (imo: that is quite funny to see that they are doing it wrong! LOL) there is skype too i use it cause oovoo doesn't have a linux compatible client, that sucks! there are linux users for oovoo but it's not enough for oovoo marketing guys to consider... it's been a while since i don't use oovoo tbh i run linux 99.99999999% of the time!

and Finaly linux is linux! but the flavour of each distrib make that linux is a linux version as a new linux, ones more user friendly others not! the rest depends on your taste and taste is something that we can't argue with!

Cheers

I love how you assume ubuntu is the best distro out there, as it was based off debain, which has been around for ages, you my friend are extremely narrow minded, not to mention you use a distro that a 4 year old could use. maybe if you took the time to learn linux and not a specific distro like "ubuntu" you would find linux is linux.....

 The best thing for you to do is go back to school and learn English, making retarded comments such as   (Linux is on Linux, and also you idiot you stupid with your stupid post etc) You make yourself look bad and Linux at the same time. I do not use Ubuntu, you my friend are extremely narrow minded. Get your head out off your ass. 

making retarded comments such as   (Linux is on Linux, and also you idiot you stupid with your stupid post etc)

 and then

The best thing for you to do is go back to school and learn English

linux is linux, thats a fact, linux was written on the unix kernel by linus, the man himself created the free desktop enviornment for anyone to use, and thus it has evolved with many people in the world making more and more free software for others to use. Fact: macintosh is written from the kernel of "Unix". Fact: linux is written from the kernel of.....thats right...."Unix"

 stop arguing on little things.

 If ooVoo makes a linux version, they will have to take many things into account, like, all major distro's for example : Redhat/Fedora/Ubuntu/Gentoo/Slackware

 my advise to the guys in programming, go with the systems that have been out there for some time. but dont leave out the other guys either, Ubuntu is a fairly new distro in compairison to other distros.

 If the ooVoo programming team is considering looking for beta testers, check out http://www.justlinux.com plenty of guys and gals willing to rack there brains and beta test, Ide be one of them.

 Well said, you're a great!! w linux, ubuntu w! w freedom!!

RFM Please, manual pages and what Linux is (Linux is just the kernel), fedora, Ubuntu, debian, suse, etc., are just names of distros that with GNU Tools make an OS, then the developers give it a name. I was saying Linux because is general, linux is the kernel. If in your world understand UBUNTU=Linux, "I am from hearth, you from space".

You should read: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU

And this: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU/Linux

Eny one understood that when i said Linux i refer to the kernel and not to an specific Distro. GNU/Linux != M$ Window$, please stop learnig how to keep doing clicks and read more. I am sure you are the kind of person who does not read the instructions before use.

And if Ubuntu is the best?, is another distro, there is not distro better than another one, learn to read english, i just said that ubuntu is no making contribution to the free software, is just depending on it. That users like Ubuntu is their problem, i am just saying that i do not agree the way Ubuntu is taking, and the quality of users it is calling. But as i said before it is another topic. All the users now uses GNU/Linux and always have used GNU/Linux because you can not do nothing just with a kernel with tools, is like: "What would you do just with a motor of a car without the others parts? A: Nothing!", well, it is clear were do you come from (UBUNTU) and you are a clear example why a lot of GNU/linux users get mad with Ubuntu users.

And sorry if i sound hard, but you are saying senseless things, and it is obviously you did not do your task in reading.

And another thing i did not read nothing about "Linux is not linux", you has said everything with that. and please be polite the next time. Do not give more reasons to other people to hate GNU/Linux distros, they will think all of us are like you.

Changing the topic i will try to run oovoo with wine, the emulation is not cool but i have been busy to try it, somebody has try it? i do not want to virtualice M$ just for using oovoo.

But the only thing they would need is to work make the oovoo aplication runnable under linux then to look how tu use libraries disponible for linux or build the owner ones and make a repo to download them, then just make it disponible for i386, x86_64 and ppc, then it is done, if it is done under java, i do not know if unix support, i have not touch it so much but linux, window and mac support it, so it does not matter if the distro is mandriva, fedora, ubuntu, redhat, etc. Just working in one it should be portable in others. I have install CPanel under opensuse and others distro, the only problem is the support, they says it is only for Centos, but is like that just having the need packages the application should run without problems.

So they must not worry for porting it into every distro, they just should release for each arch and give the libreries or links of libreries used, to download, besides that, linux users should deal with a dependency or a lack of libreries. Once fullfilled the deps it should work like a butter any linux.

Is like when Ubuntu 6.0 was released it did not have the ntfs-3g driver so when an user boot in live the distro, was needed to download the driver and dependecies need for that packages, so the idea is the same one package, all distros has the same kernel(differents version of course but linux won change so dramatically), so if it runs in one version it should work in others, the bugs and problems will be fixed on the run.

Well is more o less the idea is like that the .tar.gz works, they are built with the compilers of the runned distro it is being installed. So i will say it again, i am stopping the idea to test oovoo under linux.
