I installed (earlier version) two months ago (may 10) on :
-w8.1 SoC Tablet Lenoyo Yoga 2-851f
- w8.1 (ultrabook lenovo u430 touch)
-Linux mint 17.2 xfce (Dual core Intel CPU U4100 1.3 Ghz, without camera)

the procedure i used to install on linux system as it was on
https://ring.cx/en/download/gnu-linux

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://nightly.apt.ring.cx/ubuntu_14.04/ ring main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ring-nightly-man.list"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys A295D773307D25A33AE72F2F64CD5FA175348F84
sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ring-gnome
Tested using a different name id for each machine.
Chat options work with all three.
Audio work in all three, but I didn't test conference mode (more than two connected to talk using audio)
Video worked between w8.1 machines. The linux machine has no webcam.

To chat is good. How to send audio or photos or videos I couldn't I didn't know.


I uninstalled on all systems windows and linux.

After uninstall on windows, it still info on registry
C:\Program Files\Savoir-Faire-Linux\ring.exe
Firewall rules
and stuff like that...

Also the data of chat conversations it remains after uninstall on
c:\users\youuser\AppData\local\Savoir-faire-Linux
c:\users\youuser\AppData\local\Savoir-faire-Linux\Ring
c:\users\youuser\AppData\local\Savoir-faire-Linux\Ring\peer_profiles
c:\users\youuser\AppData\local\Savoir-faire-Linux\Ring\profiles
c:\users\youuser\AppData\local\Savoir-faire-Linux\Ring\text

the peer_profiles and profiles folders contains vcard file(s)
the text folder has JSON files containing
I think I'll test the new version.
