Ubuntu :: No Sound In Skype Beta - Use Beta On Acer Aspire One With 10.10
Nov 27, 2010
I am trying to use Skype beta on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.10. The video runs brilliantly and i can also here my wife from the other end but she cannot hear me. Apparently something is fishy with my mic input. I tried alsamixer and everything is in unmute. My alsa version is 1.0.23. The only think she hears is a loud hissing noise which is normally my bat voice but she doesnt need to know that. I can record my voice in the sound recorder but nothing comes out in Skype!
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release; April 22nd, 2010 - Release Candidate; April 29th, 2010 - Final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
If I have 10.04 beta 1, could I just continue to update and not have to burn another disk to install? Or do I have to burn the beta 2 and reinstall if I want it?
I am still fairly new at using Ubuntu however I have Ubuntu 9.04 64b installed on my newly constructed Intel dual core PC. Everything is working fine however I have just installed the Skype beta deb package for Ubuntu 8.10+ 64b and it won't let me sign on. The installation as far as I know went fine however when I go to enter my UN and PW the "Sign In" button will not light up.
How do I change the resolution in skype 2.1 beta on ubuntu 9.10?? At the moment my webcams resolution appears to be half the size of what it should be which is creating a double vision/image of me and I can only see about half of my head vertically. My resolution should be 640X480, but it clearly is not. It looks way smaller like 320X240.
My update manager still says "updated 3 days ago" and no updates have come through today. Does anyone know if NBR has been automatically updated TODAY from Beta 1?
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:
When I open the "Options" of Skype, the camera can be recognized and there is video. But I don't know how to start a Skype video call. My Skype account is "dynamiccliu" if you want to add me and have a try the video call.
I am using USB logitech webcam C510, tested it OK with luvcview. But when I use skype no video shows up on my screen, the cam is still on (LED turns on) and remote user see my face. I googled a lot and can't find a way to fix it.
I have a strange problem with my skype beta (latest) and Pidgin (gmail account) the problem is when i make voice call, it works fine for 1 or 2 mins then the voice drops and it connects after 20,30 secs.
On Ubuntu lucid 10.04 Beta , I can see on Sound Preferences -->Input Tab , No input level sliding moving where input volume is 100% and device for sound input is Internal Audio Analog stereo. That's why I am unable to record on Sound Recorder. But the sound works where I can listen to music or video but not sound recording.
When I plug in some external speakers in the headphone jack, the sound disappears. If I unplug them I can hear the sound again. Does anyone know how to workaround this problem?
I got two sound options: 1. The HDMI digital sound output of my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 2. Analog sound output
I am using the analog sound in duplex mode (one stereo input one stereo output A quick solution would be great The sound of the internal speakers is really horrible xD
I was just wondering once the 10.04 LTS is officially released will it be possible to just update the packages of 10.04 beta 2 to make it the official release or will you have to update, or will you have to actually do a reinstall?
I was running Ubuntu 10.04 and yesterday I decided to test drive the 10.10 beta. After updating to 10.10 and rebooting, all I now get is the login screen with all the icons displaying as an 'X' and more importantly, no actual login prompt. I know just enough about Ubuntu to properly break it, but I am at a loss as to how to fix this, since it doesn't give me the option of opening a terminal.
I'm about to install Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit, and I'm wondering if I should install that Flash 11 64 bit beta? If so, a couple of questions: Should it perform better than the 32-bit version?
- If I install the 32-bit or an older version before, can I overwrite with the new one or is a full clean install preferred? How do I install it once I download it from here? [URL].. Is it really as simple as replacing the *.so file? Does Chromium/Chrome need this too or just Firefox?
ok to upgrade to qt 4.6 without getting KDE 4.4 beta. QT has had some huge improvements i hear, and i want them without the betaness of KDE 4.4. I was going to enable the KDE's beta ppa after locking the versions of my KDE, then upgrade just the QT stuff.
I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)
Very new to Ubuntu, but I was able to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 with no problems. New to forum and couldnt find any help in other posts. Like everyone, I was itching to try the newest and greatest. Tried updating last week but had the "openoffice..." bug and wouldn't install. Tried last night and everything went fine, until I restarted the system. Now it won't complete the boot. It show the GRUB, and some other startups, but them blank screen. 10 min later nothing. Tried it 3 more times. I think I am stuck, right? New install?This is what I am thinking of doing- 1. boot from old cd to get my files out. 2. fresh install of 9.10 and be patient for the offical release. Is there anything else I could do?
i recently upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 Beta. i am using 64 bit OS. in my computer USB to HDD copy is very much slow. generally i get 20-25MBps copy speed. but from USB the speed gradually goes below 2MBps.

When I tried to update my ubuntu, I received an error regarding the UUID not existing. When I updated, everything on the system was swell, but now I get the UUID does not exist. I reckon that ubuntu 10.04 does not need UUID. I can only run from the ubuntu shell with limited commands. I tried to edit the file /etc/default/Grub and it claimed to not exist. I have 2 separate versions of ubuntu on there, but it's using the grub installed from ubuntu 8.04. It says I'm using grub .97 beta. I am sure I have a brief idea of what to do. The problem is accessing the file necessary to do that. I will have to remove a line that says "LINUX_USE_UUID=true" or something like that. I don't know where that folder is. Apparently people say that its in /etc/default/grub. That doesn't exist for me.
During the upgrade proses I had lots of errors !anyway my problem happened when I chose keep my modified boot loader and I didn't install the new grub boot loader now .. when I start my laptop I get into the command line $ I have tow HDD (ubuntu/ win7)
How do you install the Firefox 4 beta in Ubuntu? I'm still trying to understand how to install files that come downloaded in a .tar.bz2 type file. I unpacked this package, but don't understand what to do with it.
