I was also getting the same error as m_dk29

VICaR - Invalid request. Phone Number is not valid

dbus-monitor reveals that VICaR is trying to call 'publish' and 'subscribe' which are both non-numeric, hence the error.

I am new to telepathy so I am sharing info below hoping that somebody would correct me if I am wrong

After reading TP documentation I learned that both publish and subscribe have special purpose.

publish: get contacts to push presence info to
subscribe: get contacts to pull presence info from

Both do not apply to VICaR since it doesn't really connect to a server.

With that knowledge, I went ahead and updated 0.5.1 (only source in garage). If number to call is either 'publish' or 'subscribe' then don't forward request to callrouter.

I guess another way to do is by checking value of HandleType. It should always be 1 (Contact).

I don't see error message anymore but I think it just masks the problem. What really initiated request for 'publish' and 'subscribe' list?

Thanks again for the app!

@benaranguren - Thanks for taking time to debug this problem. To my knowledge, the requests for 'publish' and 'subscribe' are coming from Mission Control.

I changed the VICaR daemon code to check for invalid phone numbers (thats the deb file I posted in my prev post) using regex expressions. But filtering by targethandletype is a much simple solution from TP. Will include that in the new release as well.

VICaR version 0.5-3 is released to extras-devel. Source code is available in git and garage page.

Thanks you all for your help.

The bugs/features addressed in this release are:
1) The notification "Vicar: No routing profile defined for this number" appears frequently even when Vicar is not being used (reported by m_dk29)

2) Number Starts with and Calling Card Number fields do not allow '+' character.

3) If there is more than one profile a number prefix, Vicar should pick a more-specific profile. See evad's description below.

Have you tried the new version 0.5-3 from extras-devel? The deb file I posted earlier had a bug which is fixed in the latest release.

If you are still not able to make the calls, run this command as user from X-Term, reproduce the issue and send me the log file.

Code:

dbus-monitor --session > /home/user/MyDocs/dbus_log.txt

Hye all,
It is working for me but 2 things :
- the rules are working, but do we have to add one rule for each country, except our local ?
- in my contacts, I put "blank caracters" for better readibility, but then I have the message (in french) "l'application de ce contact ne prend pas en charge les appels", I assume this is for "This contacts application does not support calls, I assume I am not the only one, is there any possibility to accept numbers with spaces caracters ?
Thanks for your help

- Yes, you have to add a rule for each country code that you want to use Vicar with. You can also create rules for local numbers if you wish by entering the area code.

- To fix a bug introduced in PR1.3, I have disabled all characters except 0-9, *, # and p. Space should not be an issue.

Btw - How did you add space in a contact number? I am using PR1.3 (US) and the contacts application doesn't allow any spaces.

I assume with the recent release PR1.3 issues are resolved.

Do you guys think VICaR is ready to be pushed to extras-testing?

Please check, for me I have to remove the spaces to have it work.

To answer your "btw" point, I synchronise my contacts and calendar with google contacts and google calendar using mail for exchange. I know it is not expected to work, but for me it is ok, but it is true that sometimes it freezes, but that's not the topic.
