Teams keeps microphone open

Teams 1.3.00.16851 (64 bits) on Ubuntu 20.04.1 Teams keeps using the microphone after a call is finished, but shouldn’t it free the mic automatically as soon as the call is done? The only way I’ve found to free the mic is closing Teams.

Linux Microsoft Skype For Business Lync 2013 Client

I was surprised to learn that Ubuntu 14.04 can talk to Skype for Business AKA Lync 2013 using the Pidgin Instant Messaging client. The general steps were:

# apt-get install pidgin pidgin-sipe 

And then restart Pidgin and add a new Account. The Office Communicator is the relevant plugin, with the following parameters:

• Protocol: Office Communicator
• Username: Your Office 365 or Skype for Business username — probably your email address
• Password: Your password is obviously required — and will be stored unencrypted in the config file, so you may wish to leave this blank and enter at each login
• Server[:Port]: Leave empty if your set-up has autodiscovery
• Connection type: Auto
• User Agent: UCCAPI/15.0.4420.1017 OC/15.0.4420.1017
• Authentication scheme: TLS-DSK

I am unclear why the user agent is required, and whether that will need to change from time to time or not. So far it has worked fine here.

Unfortunately a few days ago the above set-up stopped working, with “Failed to authenticate with server”. It seems that you must now use version 1.20 of the Sipe plugin, which fixes “Office365 rejects RC4 in TLS-DSK”. As this version was only completed three days ago, it is not yet available in any of the Ubuntu repositories that I have been able to find, you will probably have to compile yourself.

Broadly speaking I followed these key stages:

1. Install build tools if you don’t already have them: sudo apt-get install build-essential
2. Install checkinstall if you don’t already have it: sudo apt-get install checkinstall
3. Download source files.
4. Extract source: tar -xvvzf pidgin-sipe-1.20.1.tar.gz
5. Change into source directory: cd pidgin-sipe-1.20.1
6. Read carefully the README file in the source directory.
7. Install dependencies listed in the README: # apt-get install libpurple-dev libtool intltool pkg-config libglib2.0-dev libxml2-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev libkrb5-dev libnice-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev

These dependencies may change over time, and your particular requirements may be different from mine, so please read the README and that information should take precedence.

Lastly, as an ordinary user, you should now be able to compile. If it fails at any stage, simply read the error and install the missed dependency.

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr $ make $ sudo checkinstall 

I found checkinstall was pre-populated with sensible settings, and I was able to continue without making any changes. Once complete a Debian package will have been created in the current directory, but it will have already been installed for you.

For some reason I found that at this stage Pidgin would no longer run, as it was now named /usr/bin/pidgin.orig instead of /usr/bin/pidgin , I tried removing and reinstalling pidgin but to no avail. In the end I created a symlink ( ln -s /usr/bin/pidgin.orig /usr/bin/pidgin ), but you should not do this unless you experience the same issue. If you know the reason for this I would be delighted to receive your feedback, as this isn’t a problem that I have come across before.

Restarting Pidgin and the Office Communicator sprung into life once more. Sadly I would imagine that this won’t be the last time this plugin will break, such are the vagaries of connecting to closed proprietary networks.

Free software to connect to Skype for Business

I have recently joined an institution that uses Skype for Business as telephony solution. This is a commercial product from Microsoft that was never released for desktop Linux (and probably never will). There is a Linux clone called Wync that is able to connect to the same telephony network, but this is just another commercial solution. There is a plug-in for Pidgin called SIPE that is supposed to integrate with the Skype for Business network, but it seems nonoperational on Ubuntu 14.04. Once the plug-in is activated Pidgin keeps regurgitating error messages that render it useless. What other free options are there to connect to this telephony network from Ubuntu?

2 Answers 2

There is some information here from Chris Rob about using Skype for Business on Ubuntu 14.04 with Pidgin.

Seems you need to compile/install the latest SIPE plug in for Pidgin and then configure to connect to the Skype for Business server.

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.

sudo apt-get install pidgin pidgin-sipe and then open Pidgin and add an account. In the basic configuration choose Office Communicator as the Protocol, your email as the Username and then «domain\username» as the Login

I have made some, but not complete progress with the following.

For me, the standard pidgin sipe plugin, through Office Communicator, let me connect to Skype for Business and see my employer’s user directory, but crucially, did not succeed in a test call or a call to another user, with a variety of error messages. Even text messages to others did not arrive, despite pidgin giving no error message. However, there is a newer version of the plugin, as indicated in this Reddit post:

Hello, as already mentioned Pidgin is the way to go.

Unfortunately the default version in more or less all the distributions comes with a combination of pidgin-sipe / libnice / gstreamer / farstream which doesn’t work at all in the worst case (= only chat works), and doesn’t allow calling Skype for Business clients in the best case (= you can only call Pidgin and Lync clients). The patches to make everything work are available upstream but some of the packages have not included them in official releases.

The solution for Ubuntu is to use this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~sipe-collab

which has been ported also to Fedora: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/dwmw2/sipecollab/

Starting from those two add-ons it can be made working on more or less all the other Linux distributions (we managed to get it working on CentOS 7).

HTH

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sipe-collab/ppa $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install pidgin-sipe 

Now, the test call works. However, when trying to join a conference call I got:

Failed to join the conference

no reason given
