Caller ID for Linux Mint

10 years ago

I am wanting to switch all my computers over to Linux. The only thing stopping me on my own computer that I use every day is I can't find a working caller ID program for Linux. I have found several older programs that no longer work and/or are no longer supported. Or I can't figure out how to install it.

Is there a working caller ID program for Linux?

Thanks.

    NCID runs under Linux, OSX, UNIX, and Cygwin. Fedora, Ubuntu, Raspbian, OSX, FreeBSD, Raspbian, and Cygwin are supported

    Is this something that will work for you ?

    That is the only one I can find and I can't figure out to get it installed and running.

    I just listed this same one at the other forum. There is another I listed over there too, give it a look! I'm not much help as I'm only running Windows 10 on all my computers right now! I use to have a couple of machines with Linux on them, just got tired of tweaking them all the time!

    I don't have a (phone) modem or even a land line so I can't test this but...

    If me, I might go to the download page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ncid/files/ncid/1.3/

    and since I'm running 64bit Debian/Ubuntu based Linux choose the appropriate "deb" package which looks to be, in my case, this one: ncid_1.3-1_amd64.deb

    It looks like it should install fine that way...

    (You may find you also need the client: ncid-client_1.3-1_all.deb, sorry, it's not clear to me.)

    .

    The other option would be to grab the source package (ncid-1.3-src.tar.gz), extract it and read the "readme".

    All the linux flavors have their own (and usually very active) forums and boards, this question is probably best addressed there.
