View 2 RepliesI am trying to install skype on a 64bit Fc14 and the 32bit doesn't work.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have downloaded & installed the skype beta release for linux (now ancient?) on my newly build fedora 14 (64) box.
Under fedora 12, I made this work after several hours of mucking around by installing old libraries for 32 bit code in /lib and /usr/lib - as I got an error, I found the library and put it in place. This was painful and the WRONG way to do things - I should have been using yum!
It remains a shame that the Skype release for Linux is so old, but that is life.
Can anyone list the libraries needed (prefer yum names if possible) to make this work?
I can do this again the hard way and list the results for others (should have saved for myself, but I never dreamed that a newer Skype release would take so long) , but I am sure many folks have this working already. I am surprised there is no "yum install skype---" command.
Downloaded from here: [URL] then ,it is 32-bit and I need to know what all 32-bit libs are needed as dependency for skype to work. I am on Gnome Fedora and purposefully selected static version of skype to prevent installation of libqt4.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFinally got skype working on my Fedora 11 x64 version. Well, of course, the first thing is to download the 32 bit "skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm" from Skype official website..At first, I found a guide on [URL].. and followed the instruction.Installed skype using
Code:
rpm -i --force --nodeps skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm
Skype failed to start.. It's apparently dependency issue..
Then searched through and found out another "Howto" for F10.. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archiv.../t-217122.html I tried to yum, but none of the following packages are found.
Code:
yum install alsa-lib.i386 dbus-libs.i386 e2fsprogs-libs.i386 expat.i386
fontconfig.i386 freetype.i386 glib2.i386 glibc.i686 keyutils-libs.i386
krb5-libs.i386 libcap.i386 libgcc.i386 libICE.i386 libpng.i386

libxcb.i386 libXcursor.i386 libXdmcp.i386 libXext.i386 libXfixes.i386

There are also some thread talking about this problem but I forgot to bookmark them. It seems that skype needs 32 bit lisa.. So I then installed the lisa-lib-1.0.20-1.fc(i586). Meanwhile, I configured sound in, out and ring to hw... Also disabled "Allow skype to adjust .. mixer level" . When I run skype from xtern, it still reports erors related to lisa.. But it works now...
i have a problem with skype every time i start a video convertation after a certan time it crash i tryed to start from comand line
Code:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
same as

I'm trying to get skype to work on my new system. It seems to install, but trying to run it I get an error message naming a missing dependency. Searching for this with yum whatprovides and installing the result worked in one case, but for the next one, yum install <package containing missing item> returns a few errors of the form:
package <name-version>.fc12.x86_64 (which is newer than <package-version>.fc12.i686) is already installed Is there any way around this? I'd like to get skype working, but am having no luck at the moment. I'd prefer not to remove the .x86_64 packages if I can avoid it in case that breaks something else.
hJust installed brand new Centos 5.6 and skype, according to centos wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype) Getting these errors: skype: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by skype)

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am working for Fedora 12 installed on my laptop, and skype has worked. I was able to speak, able to listen and everything (besides some installation problems) was working fine.
Then I allowed Fedora to update(or bugfix or enhacement) some items of my system.
Now when I click on the loudspeaker symbol in the panel and open the mixer I see various tabe for sound input and output. Finally a good idea, and I even have a slide for skype!
But it does not work, I don't hear anything from skype (version 2.1.0.47).
I am able to record and playback via arecord/aplay, so in principal it should work. Any ideas what is wrong? Maybe a bug in a bugfix?
Some more informations for the pros:
I recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?

I cant seem to text via skype, it doesnt go through. I testet the skype test call service and voice works fine, audio and mic. I have tried to google and search forums but no luck. I have before used skype on my netbook with my cellphone as a hot spot and it worked without problem but it doesnt have the same provider - different sim cards in phone and dongle.

On Opensuse 11.4 64bit, on a Dell E6410 notebook. Installed the 32bit dependencies from SDB: Skype (SDB:Skype - openSUSE ) i.e. su -c 'zypper install libasound2-32bit xorg-x11-libXv-32bit xorg-x11-libs-32bit libqt4-x11-32bit libpng12-0-32bit' Then installed the latest version (2.2.0.25 from Skype website for openSuse 11+
And when launching skype in a terminal window I get "Fatal: Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40702) with this library (version 0x40701) Aborted" And this corresponds tot requireing an older QT library for Skype than is the current version from openSuse 11.4 How do I fix this?? I've already pursued all other solutions I could find.
Running:
Suse11.4 (Celadon)
Kernel Linux 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
Gnome 2.32.1
I've just followed the instructions at SDB:Skype - openSUSE again, as before. The install didn't start automatically when the download finished so I used package installer. Skype appears to start normally, before promptly closing itself after about 3-5 seconds. When running it from terminal, I get the message:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 582: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed! Code: rpm -q libasound2-32bit xorg-x11-libXv-32bit xorg-x11-libs-32bit libqt4-x11-32bit libpng12-0-32bit skype

I basically can't get my mic to work in F12. After several releases fighting with pulseaudio, F11 finally worked almost OBO, after going to system->preferences->advanced sound configuration and setting all the input volumes to the maximum. But now there's no advanced sound configuration tool, and I just can't find anything to make it work. Skype isn't working, nor is gnome-sound-recorder. I do record some static, but nothing more. By the way, I'm on an Acer Timeline 3810T.
View 14 Replies View RelatedWhen I installed my 64 bit system of Ubuntu 10.04 the sound worked very well and I were very happy. The problem started however when I installed Skype which uses pulseaudio. As soon as I start skype (or any other application that uses pulse, HoN for example) the applications sound output or input does not work at all. If I have pulseaudio started in some way, applications that I suppose do not use it like spotify or flash player stops to produce sounds. And when I type "pulseaudio" in the terminal it gives me this:

View 9 Replies View RelatedI was just looking through Skype.com and noticed that there's no Skype download, although there is a Static one and also for Debian as well as Ubuntu (amongst some other distros).Does Skype work well in WINE or am I just better off waiting for a Linux distro?
One slight reason for my concern is because I've heard that Microsoft bought Skype, and if that occurs we might not get as much support as we need and may have to resort to using WINE for Skype.
