  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 358, in set
    raise NoSectionError(section)
ConfigParser.NoSectionError: No section: 'alarm'

Could you explain to me what this is about please?

There was a problem with GV: {'data': {'code':20}, 'ok': False}

/opt/dialcentral/bin/dialcentral.py ---dial 1-415-555-1234

and then it would use GoogleVoice to dial that number.

It would also be okay to invoke Dialcentral, and then use dbus-send to dial a number. As long as it can be automated by script. (I am trying to get Vim to dial out.)

I couldn't find the answer by web search. I thought a post here would be more useful than a private message to Mr. Page.

Thank you for your work, Mr. Page.

The One Ring is a Google Voice plugin for the system. You can use dbus or telepathy wrappers over dbus to initiate a call. If you want a single command for it, it would be easy for me to wrap this into a single script.

There are several names --"The One Ring", "Telepathy", "Google Voice Plugin For Conversations"-- and it is not clear to me whether these are all the same thing. I had expected the Conversations widget to change after installation but it didn't. I'm not sure how to use it.

If it is as I understand, then this "Google The Voice One Plugin Telepathy For Ring Conversations" acts as a daemon which will respond to dbus signals and initiate calls and SMS's on command? Presumably I would use qdbusviewer or something to see what dbus signals it's hooked up to, and all that? If so, then I'd like more info but I'll probably move it over to some other thread since this thread is about Dialcentral.

Dialcentral is attractive since it is written in Python, with which I am familiar; if Google The ... whatever, is written in C++ then I might just stay with Dialcentral to examine its innards.

Have you configured your callback number (the accounts tab on the released version, the accounts dialog on the beta version).
