View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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!

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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow 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.

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I activate the Ambiance theme, skype, opera, and probably one or two other applications have black menus with black text. It seems like the black background colour is being used from the Ambiance theme, but the menu text colour is not.
Could it be related to qt4? I just installed Opera qt4 because I read somewhere that qt4 would keep it closer to the theme or something.
It took me a while to find a post that solved my problem, so I thought I'd try to make it easier for others with the same problem to find the solution.If you are using Skype with a dark themed lucid lynx 10.04, you may find that your Skype menus appeardark and unreadable, and that tooltips (when you move your mouse over a contact) appear pale and unreadable. You can find the solution here:

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

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo here's the schedule for 10.04:
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release;

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?
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've searched for this a fair bit but everyone seems to have a different cause.
I constantly get applications greyed out. (I understand this is when ubuntu sees them as 'not responding') It happens to Firefox a lot, but that may just be because I use it alot. It happens to Nautilus a lot too, and sometimes the everything gets grey at once.
Windows, every other OS I've ever had installed (including older Ubuntus) and the 10.04 live-cd all run fine. So I'm under the impression that it's something either that i've installed or that ubuntu did when it installed.
It's done this pretty regularly from day one, so it doesn't seem to be something I've done lol.
What possible causes are there for this? Is there a log or something I can check that may enlighten me?
I'm trying to use Open Office presentation, and it makes me angry and a little disappointed because it feels like it is everything else than user friendly...Like 50% of all the options are grayed out and it is really irritating!It started when i tried to view the presentation, and advance to the next image by pressing the mouse button like in power point, and it is so bad layout i don't understand how, and it makes it even worse when i can't click 50% of eventual solutions.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. However I don't like Evolution mail client and installed Thunderbird from the repositories. It installed fine and comes up with the wizard to fill account details in but for some reason you can't input anything from the keyboard - it seems greyed out. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it's still the same. Everything else is fine and working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRunning Evolution 2.23.3.1 on a laptop with 8.04 installed. (Running 8.04 for good reasons - please don't query). I've been running perfectly for some time, but today when I booted up and opened Evolution to check my mail, the first sign of something odd was that it didn't ask me to unlock the keyring. Then I noticed that the send/receive was greyed out.
I rebooted several times with no change. I've clicked on Permissions in the File menu, but that doesn't then show any window, which is what I would expect, thinking that something has changed. Other than accepting all the usual update manager's recommended installs, nothing has changed on this laptop for several weeks.
Problem with the Visual Effects under Appearance is greyed out. The options were available until after removing Compiz. Is there a way to restore back to the original setting of ubuntu 10.10 prior to installing Compiz?
View 3 Replies View Relatedubuntu 11.04,Windows 7 dual boot. Almost total linux / ubuntu novice.I just installed ubuntu 11.04 this afternoon. The installation went smoothly but I did not get wireless internet connection. In the top panel : Network device not working (firmware missing)Some hunting indicated that one needed to remove some files and install some others using synaptic. Found synaptic, loaded it by clicking and found the file to install. However the Package Tab was completely greyed out. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?
BTW the 11.04 is different enough that I have not yet even found the terminal so any suggestions re it, please include a suggestion on how to find it.
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?

Synaptics package manager indicates it is installed. The end result is that "Images" plug-in is grayed out and exif searches cannot be done, resulting in photos being displayed out of order.I used "Ubuntu Software Center" to install package.
