G.729 codec in linphone

Eric — Sat, 12 Nov 2016 10:32:39 -0500

Running Manjaro, I installed linphone along with all required libraries from AUR. The application works well except for the fact that the codec list is incomplete. The G.729 codec, for instance is not available.

The log file indicates a few problems:

ldconfig -p|grep 729

libbcg729.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libbcg729.so.0
libbcg729.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libbcg729.so

Any idea as to why I need to do for G.729 to be enabled? Thanks for your help.

In Synaptic Package Manger I get this error: E: libavformat52: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 E: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

In terminal I get this error: Errors were encountered while processing: libavformat52 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

My Firefox runs horrible and I think the above could be related. Firefox is slow and freezes so much it's virtually impossible to use. What I would like to do is remove every component of it, and all these codecs and start fresh, but I don't know how. I really don't know much about terminal, so please consider that when giving advice. I have a few add-ons in Firefox like Session Manger, IM Translator, and Scrapebook, (although it is uninstalled now)

I thought maybe an upgrade would help so yesterday I went from 9.0.4 Ubuntu to 10.04...I did a clean install from a CD and reformatted my root folder. I did try Ubuntu9.10 some months ago, but had tons of trouble with the graphics card resolution.
