Hi all, I have Fedora 16, and my problem is that I can't run Skype neither Google-Talk Plugin for videoconferences. Skype simply crashes > [mstorti@galileo ~]$ gdb skype > GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora (7.3.50.20110722-9.fc16) > Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc. > License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later > <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> > This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. > There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Name : google-talkplugin Version : 2.1.6.0 The most amazing thing is that I can run OK both Skype and Google-Talkplugin UNDER OTHER USER IN THE SAME MACHINE (my user is `mstorti', and I created another `mstorti2' just to try things). Right now my workaround is to switch to user `mstorti2' each time I have a videoconf, but it is getting too annoying!! :-( Also I can say that I used Skype/Google-Talkplugin without problems before, I think that something was messed up with some upgrade almost 6 months ago (perhaps when upgrading to Fedora 15 or near). I think it is a problem of configuration of either the camera of the audio, but * I have audio OK, for instance in Amarok or Firefox/Youtube * I can record audio in Audacity * I test my camera in System Settings -> Multimedia -> Phonon -> Video Recording and it seems OK. The only conflict that I note is that when I start a video on YouTube I can't hear at the sometime music from Amarok for instance. (It's probably useless anyway, but I report this because normally I could to that before all this problem started). I am sometimes tempted to do a fresh install of Fedora from scratch, but I'm somewhat lazy because I have a lot of packages locally installed (I'm using this system since 2007) and I'm skeptic that it will help. Any ideas?? TIA, Mario -- ------------------------- Mario Alberto Storti [cel. +54-342-5122135] CIMEC (INTEC/CONICET-UNL) Predio CONICET-Santa Fe Colect.
