This is apparently a well known issue with various java implementations, so in order to get Jitsi to use my system font, I added the following hack to the jitsi shell script too Įxport _JAVA_OPTIONS='eSystemAAFontSettings=on' So, and I know this is ugly, I ended up manually editing the file, (using the Archlinux jitsi script as a template), and copying it to /usr/bin/jitsi, after the emerge.ģ) At this point I was able to get Jitsi up and running but the font it used was blocky and ugly.

I don't know if the jitsi stable tarballs are updated regularly, but if they are, then this would mean that using the ebuild two different times could result in two different, albeit minor, versions being installed.Ģ) The major issue is that the script template for loading jitsi that's included in the tarball, (resources/install/debian/jitsi.sh.tmpl), required more modifications than I knew how to do in the ebuild. The ones I noticed are ġ) A minor issue is that it's downloading the 'latest' 2.0 source from the jitsi repository. However, there are several problems with it. So using Guillaume's ebuild from comment #14, I hacked up an ebuild I used to emerge jitsi 2.0 into my system.

They even have an Android client in their nightly build section. It's not only open source instant messaging/voice calling/video chat, but there are OSX, Windows, as well as Linux clients available. I also really like Jitsi as well and think it would be an awesome alternative to Skype. No idea how effective that would be.Jitsi shell script reference in comment #19 What could be done would be writing a bug report against apt-get. Intrigeri reads debian-security mailing list as well, so I am not asking people specifically do to this. No idea about intrigeri, seems to mostly try to involve others to get stuff done and having time constraints as well. If you decide to make this as a Whonix only feature for the time being its a big plus. Upstream seemed interested, but they suggest GPG handles that which I don’t see happening any time soon. The keyserver guys seem open to the idea. What is the obstacle to your solution? - besides time and energy constraints. Surprisingly I thought they had some mechanism to handle revocation, but apparently not. It’s another item in the great stream of great suggestions. Have you succeeded calling yourself using linphone yet? Have you succeeded calling yourself using jtisi yet? It's another item in the great stream of great suggestions. It needs to exist in an easy way for others. It would still help a lot if you get to this point, I could do a real test with Jason. A VOIP call on the same computer is pointless and probably too confusing to tell if it really works or if I'm just hearing my own echo. The maximum I can do with my setup is simulate two hidden services connected with onioncat and running Jitsi or Linphone inside. Maybe Jason will help once the instructions are ready. I still need to find someone who does that experiment with me. It makes more sense because you know anonymity minded people who already know your identity to talk with. It would help if instructions were ready so far. Then move on to more complicated things, i.e.
