I guess MS's intentions will be pretty much proprietory and anti Linux so where is the best open software way to go for video conferencing over the Internet?
Skype is proprietory now so is it likely that Linux open video conferencing can talk to Skype users?
Not a real problem because we have wine and virtual box to run MS stuff but it would be nice to get on board a true open alternative.
There are 3 versions of Skype for Ubuntu on the Skype download section. Does anybody know which is the correct one for Ubuntu Karmic?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 have a desktop pc with xubuntu 9.10 32bit installed. I don't have direct access to this machine, but they told me that internet is not working (firefox, synaptic,etc...), but only skype works! If they reboot on windows, everything works well, so it's not a matter of connection or dns.It's very important because they work with that computer. How can i solve the problem? and what could be the cause of this strange anomaly
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using tcpdump and tcptrace to track all incoming and outgoing data packets through my network interfaces. But I fail to monitor the voip data for skype that way, although it works well with http port 80, for example.
I want to track the ip address of the data packets for skype, i.e. know the ip address of the other one speaking at the other end of skype. How can I achieve this?

View 9 Replies View RelatedWith Microsoft acquisition of Skype I was tasked with research into migrating our users off of Skype and onto our own server for audio/video calls and IM communication. I see several SIP servers in F14 repos: OpenSER, OpenSIP, sems, ser and some other packages. What do I need to build my own server on F14 machine to allow our users call each other with video and exchange text IMs?

View 9 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.
During the install of 10.10 yesterday, while watching the slide show, I noticed the claim that Skype is supported under 10.10. But when I searched for the skype package in the Software Centre I don't find it. I find a reference to something called a Skype API wrapper for python - which sounds like the sort of thing you find lying the ground outside the reptile house at your local zoo after a successful attack on a hamburger-eating visitor. Surely that can't be it? Where do I find the Skype package?

Installing Skype on Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
I noticed that many people, as well as me, want to install skype on 8.04. I found many tutorials with lots of dependences and terminal commands. So i found a better solution how to install.
1. Go to Skype's download site: Latest 2.1 version - click here
2. Download Static (5th type, little skype cube), i didn't test any others so maybe some of them work
3. Save .tar.bz2 (26,3 MB)
4. Extract
5. Open the folder and run Skype.exe
6. Done, just type your username and password
I'm using this version, i had no problems with chat and calling. Also options and pop-ups work.
i use U 9.10 and upon checking the software centre i realised that skype is not listed! does this mean i can't use skype with linux ? isn't this one of the major problems people face with linux in general ? i mean the lack of availability of hardware drivers and specialised softwares ?
