A Ventrilo Compatible Client for Linux
Admin functionality progress update
Over the past month, we’ve taken what we feel is a well deserved break from coding. However, with the new year, we’re ready to start going again. We’re not quite to the point of having a new snapshot available, but we’ve made good headway in the past few days. If you’re running directly from SVN, the following features are now available:
- You can now log in as an admin
- Drag and drop users to move channels
- You can kick and ban users via right-click
- Per-user volume settings are saved between restarts
- Channel passwords are saved between restarts
- A master volume control is available in the Audio Settings menu
Remember, the SVN build is unstable. Things may or may not work as expected. But if you’re feeling adventurous, test it out.
As previously stated, the next release will focus primarily on administrator functionality. Also in the works is version 1.0.1 which fixes some minor issues and gets us on the path to inclusion into the Ubuntu repos.

Nice to see you’re not gone and still working actively on Mangler!

Thank you! I’ve been running Ventrilo’s windows client under Wine for a while now, and it’s always annoyed me with various little problems (won’t work if I don’t start it first before the game, PTT won’t work sometimes for no reason, the list goes on and on). I’m running the snapshot right now, and it provides all the important features I need, and looks a lot better than the ‘offical’ ventrilo client ever could! Excellent job, and thank you!

Thank you for making this MUCH needed software. Flagship has been dragging their feet on making a Linux client since 2005, and pleas from their end users have gone ignored.
There’s still a few admin features I would like to see (i.e. User Manager).
If you do program the User Manager, could you implement the ability to select multiple users and apply a pre-set template to them all at once? That’s one thing I hated to have to go thru 50+ users and change one specific permission.
