Hi! I was trying to run FreeCall VoIP client, however, it detects a problem and tries to contact its authors. I've done a bit of googling and I've found that there are at least 3 similar programs (FreeCall, VoipCheap, VoipDiscount) which behave exactly the same way, they are using probably the same client. Also AppDb lists at least one of them, with identical symptoms. There is the following report generated by wine:
patrol@arcus:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/FreeCall.com/FreeCall$ wine FreeCall.exe preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element preloader: Warning: failed to reserve range 00000000-00010000 err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from apartment threaded to multi-threaded err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered err:ole:create_server class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} could be created for context 0x17 err:ole:CoInitializeEx Attempt to change threading model of this apartment from apartment threaded to multi-threaded err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered err:ole:create_server class {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} not registered fixme:ole:CoGetClassObject CLSCTX_REMOTE_SERVER not supported err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {bcde0395-e52f-467c-8e3d-c4579291692e} could be created for context 0x17
The preloader warnings are harmless in this case. I think the ole errors are the real cause. I don't need to use the program for calling, just to make a registration to FreeCall - they offer also the web-based registration, but then they don't allow to pay with PayPal - "for better security" :-(. Any chance the program could be started at least to allow the registration ? With regards, Pavel Troller
Hi Pavel, really you should open a bug for this rather than asking here. --Juan
