Skype with Video on Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy
I was very excited to see that Skype recently released a beta version of Skype for Linux which has video support.
I duly went and downloaded the version for Ubuntu (the Fiesty Fawn one works great on Gutsy).
Initial attempts to get it working met with frustration - it quickly flashed up on screen and gave the following output:
$ skype
Aborted (core dumped)
Aborted (core dumped)
After thinking on it a while and hearing reports of other people using it happily I had some further attempts. First plan of attack - make sure there are no settings from an old version that would conflict by (re)moving the settings directory.
$ mv .Skype .Skype.old
Try again and everything came up sweet - even the webcam! Thanks Skype. I'm very happy that this has removed the last reason I had to reboot to windows.
Check out the wiki page for the list of supported webcams in Skype on Ubuntu.
Cheers, Mark
