Skype (Free Internet telephony)

Skype is a peer-to-peer Internet telephony network. It competes against
existing open VoIP protocols such as SIP, IAX, and H.323.

skype_static-4.0.0.7-x86_64-1sl.xzm

I have tested this module and it will give segmentation fault when start.

Download the static version from Skype download page and copy the skype(38MB) file from it and replace the one in skype_static-4.0.0.7-x86_64-1sl.xzm.
You should have no problem starting Skype now.

I've any problem with running it

Sorry if this is not for here, but I have made update on the skype and the multilib package for porteus 1.2 rc2.

Skype 4.0.0.7 (static) requires /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 and compat32 presents only /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3(.9.x).

If you want I can upload them somewhere.

@Lucifer

thanks for your offer but few hours ago i have updated Skype-4.0.0.7 package from the main repo as per cttan instruction. libtiff.so.4 symlink is also there so no need for compat32.

btw: i have converted the repo to be compatible with porteus-1.2 (which is not released yet):

Sorry. Just lost few hours tring to make the system feel like I want it. So maybe I have downloaded the wrong pakage from the PPM.

Hi,

I just installed the last Skype available on the PPM on Porteus 1.2 64 bits.
When I start it nothing happend. Then I tried it on a konsole and it returned :

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ skype 
guest@porteus:~$ /usr/bin/skype: line 16:  2898 Segmentation fault      LD_PRELOAD=/usr/share/skype/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so GCONV_PATH=/usr/share/skype/lib32/gconv QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/share/skype/lib32/plugins /usr/share/skype/lib32/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /usr/share/skype/lib32/ /usr/share/skype/skype

Could you please solve it ?

Have a nice day :-)

Miguipda ;-)

[Hamza]

I cannot reproduce the issue here on Porteus v1.2 rc2 x86_64



Please give me more information ;-)

[miguipda]

Then how could I solve it ?

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ skype
guest@porteus:~$ /usr/bin/skype: line 16:  5857 Segmentation fault      LD_PRELOAD=/usr/share/skype/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so GCONV_PATH=/usr/share/skype/lib32/gconv QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/share/skype/lib32/plugins /usr/share/skype/lib32/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /usr/share/skype/lib32/ /usr/share/skype/skype

Sincerely thanks and have a nice day ;-)

[Hamza]

Could you give me the output of psinfo command, please ?

[cttan]

Hi misguipda,

I think you need to change the subject to Skype 4.0.0.8 x86_64

You are right, I have tried this module and it failed with seg fault as well.

Follow my steps here:-
1. Download the static version from Skype download page
2. Copy the skype(38MB) file from it
3. Extract skype_static-4.0.0.7-x86_64-1sl.xzm(PPM version) into a folder.
4. Replace the skype file in it with the one you have download.
5. Right click on the folder and click Build Porteus xzm module ...

Activate the new module and you should have no problem starting Skype now.

Pls note the version is 4.0.0.7 when you want to download from Skype website.
I have not tried the newer version as I am still on the old version.

Sorry for the late reply.
