Our recommendation: PASCOM Web App

We highly recommend using the PASCOM Web App, which offers many benefits and can be installed as a desktop app via your browser.

The web app offers significant advantages over the classic installation:

  • Easy setup: No need to install a separate program and no dependencies (like Pipewire) required depending on your Ubuntu version.
  • Better compatibility: Independent of specific Linux distributions (Ubuntu Linux remains the officially tested version).
  • Extended headset support: Benefit from broader HID device support (WebHID) directly in the browser.

Install PASCOM Web App as a Chrome App

You can install the PASCOM Web App in Google Chrome. This allows it to act like a standalone desktop application and provides a clickable shortcut icon.

Open the PASCOM Web App in your Google Chrome browser.
Click the Three-dot menu (Customize and control Google Chrome) in the top right corner of the browser.
Navigate to Save and share and select .
Confirm the name in the new window and click .
Note on headset control (WebHID):
To answer calls via your headset using the Web App (WebHID) on Linux, you must still configure the UDEV rules in your system. Please refer to the UDEV configuration section below.

Configure headsets and busylights (UDEV rules)

To ensure that the button control on your Jabra, Sennheiser, or Yealink headset, as well as Kuando Busylights, works smoothly on Linux (especially when using the Web App via WebHID), the corresponding UDEV rules must be added to your system.

Open your terminal and copy the entire code block below to automatically create the rules and reload the UDEV system:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-PASCOM-HID.rules > /dev/null
# Jabra Headset Support
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0b0e", MODE="0666"
# Sennheiser Headset Support
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1395", MODE="0666"
# Yealink Headset Support
ATTRS{idVendor}=="6993", MODE="0666"
# Kuando Busylight 1
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", MODE="0666"
# Kuando Busylight 2
SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="27bb", MODE="0666"
EOF

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

Classic installation

Unpack pascom_Client.tar.bz2 in your home directory.
Create the Ubuntu Application Icon with create-starter.sh.

If you use an X-Window session on Ubuntu 22.04, you must additionally install the following libraries:

If you use Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, you must install the following additional libraries for audio to work:

If you use Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and experience audio problems, you should use Pipewire instead of Pulseaudio. Here you can find detailed instructions.
