Debian :: Skype - Turn Video On Button Is Crossed Out
May 18, 2015
I have installed Debian 8.0.0 64bit with KDE 4.14.2.I managed to install Skype. But the video call didn't work. Actually when I'm receiving a video call it works, but I cannot initiate a video call.Then I installed libv4l-0 package (which has been installed to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libv4l) and found here URL...) that I have to do something with this Code: Select allLD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype in order to make video calling work. I went thought some results on google but I couldn't find any hint. Probably it's very simple to do with this I cannot get.

I would like to buy a video camera to use for skype video calls. It should be reasonably priced and above all work both under Debian and Ubuntu with minimal effort (ideally a plug and play) and...it would be nice if I could buy it from Amazon .

For some reason my button to turn the wireless on or off turned itself off. It's orange when off and blue when on. I tried rebooting but that didn't work. I need to turn it back on to get my wireless working again.

It's kind of weird but the network manager applet on the top right of the desktop is "Crossed" even if I have internet up and running. I installed Xfce desktop environment and deleted it and after that event it happened.

i have an hp zv 6000 laptop. I cant get the wifi button to turn on. It sees the card has drivers loaded but because the quicklaunch will not function i cant get the thing to turn on. is there a way to force the hardware on by bypassing the buttons. Some of the button do work though. the music button brings up the media player.
My system is a dual boot with xp. buttons work with xp. wlan on in bios. if windows is not running i cant make the button work. just so you know i am kinda a noob at ubuntu. used to run redhat back in compsci days. been a while.

Is it possible to have the power button emulate the press of a key? On my media centre I have XBMC running and it doesn't recognise me pressing the power button. If I press S (on the keyboard) the shutdown menu pops up.

I have a hp zd7249cl laptop and have installed ubuntu 10.10 on it. The main problem I am having at the time is the wireless button will not turn on so there for I have no internet access. The switch works fine in windows, but not in ubuntu. The switch didn't work with the live cd either, but I thought it might after install. The wired card that is in the laptop is no good and quit working a couple of years ago so all I have is wireless now.

How do I turn off video chat support in empathy. I know that this was a long awaited feature, but frankly the gmail voice browser plugin works better. The issue is when I log into my gmail account in the browser and someone "video calls" me empathy intercepts the call and rings. I would prefer that it not do this, and let the browser catch the call. Now I have to shut empathy down or log out of gmail in it first.

I can't get video to work in Skype on Maverick. The sound works, and the correct device (Logitech Quickcam Communicate STX) is selected in skype, but when I click on "Test" in the video box in Skype, nothing happens. My webcam works fine with Cheese, just not in Skype. My computer is a desktop Gateway DX4820.

Skype works fine for me on 10.10 except that I cannot see my own video. Setting the "See my own video" option has no effect. I recently upgraded to Skype 2.2.0.35 and nothing changed.

I took a video of a tall object with the camera turned 90 deg. I now wish to edit the video to turn the picture to the horizontal. Is there a Linux application that will do this that runs in Suse?

I can not see incoming video on Skype.
Okay, so I have Skype installed, and it has worked fine in the past. I have been able to chat with my girlfriend on it. We can see each other and both talk. I haven't used it in probably 3 or 4 months. I tried to use it last night and for some reason, I could not see her on the video. It would just show up as a white box where the video should be. She could see me, and we could hear each other. I already had her test with somebody else to check if her video output was okay, and it worked just fine.
I read something that Cairo Dock could somehow be affecting it, but I haven't tested this theory. I can't see how the two could be related.

I have a macbook 2.1 and successfully installedubuntu 10.04 with no problems other than the headphone jac doesn't work and the iSight i had to follow instructions to make it work..however, I cannot use it in skype. It works with cheese and ekiga, but most of the people I chat with are on skype. The driver on skype says "built-in iSight (v4l2) whereas the skype says "built-in iSight (/dev/video0) when I go into the gstreamer-properties, for video it is selected as V4L2 and in the pipeline it reads (v4l2src device="/dev/video0")
When I click test it all works fine, its just that skype doesn't work with the camera. shows I have one, I click test in skype settings and the screen stays black and the green light showing its on turns on....and when I'm in a call i try to make it work and it flashes the green light and doesnt work at all... anyone know a solution or haing the same problem?

Have NO video camera. Trying to receive SKYPE video using Fedora 11 & SKYPE Beta Version 2.1.0.81 [latest version].When I receive a video call the image appears and then freezes and dumps the call after about six seconds.I have tried the 'env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype' launch, but it makes no difference in the bug.I have NOT heard that a camera is required to receive video.Is there a fix for this?nal information: Here is the error message I get when the call dumps and crashes SKYPE.
[thsk@galley ~]$ env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype
shm_open() failed: No such file or directory
Assertion 'b' failed at pulsecore/memblock.c:439, function pa_memblock_acquire(). Aborting.

I'm running Fedora 15 64-bit on my laptop, an HP HDX. I installed skype and got flash video to work (the former required that I install some 32 bit libraries, the latter required that I install an experimental 64-bit flash plugin from a tar ball). Now, they both work fine, but they don't work at the same time. In other words, I can have a video/audio chat, or just an audio chat, with someone on skype, but during that chat, I cannot view flash videos, nor can I watch a movie (and I verified that the problem is not just with totem) at the same time. If I'm watching a movie or listening to audio, skype will refuse to make a call.
Furthermore, when I have the sound settings open, and I'm using skype, in the applications tab of the sound settings I get "No application is currently playing or recording audio" which seems highly suspicious. I know this is a fixable problem because skype 64 + flash and/or movies works fine in the most recent iteration of 64bit ubuntu on my laptop, so it is just a matter of settings. I can't find much in the way of pulseaudio or alsa management apps in any of the repositories.

My problem is this: the video that I receive during a video call will freeze after about 30 to 60 seconds. Before that, it works fine. And the outgoing video (that which I send to the contact on the other end of the call) is fine throughout.
If my contact resets their video by turning it off and then on again during the call, it will usually work again for a few seconds. Then, as always, it freezes.
So, I am clearly receiving the signal. But maybe I am overloading something? Is this a graphics card problem?
SPECS:
* Mobile Intel 915GM Express card
* IBM Lenovo X41 laptop
* Intel Centrino processor
* Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic)
* Skype 2.1.0.47(Beta)
