Re: Anyone using Skype on FC11 ?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



i guess i muffed this one?

1. i removed the skype.fc10
2. i extracted the tarball to /usr/share/skype  (note that i moved skype-3.0.0.93/* to /usr/share/skype/..)
3. i coped the skype script to /usr/bin and updated it to be, ...

#!/bin/sh
# Configure this with paths that suit you.  The default should work if you run ./skype from the current directory.
#
# Example:
# LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype/Qt4.4:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./skype.bin
#
cd /usr/share/skype; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/share/skype:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./skype.bin $*


4. i also copied /usr/share/skype/skype.bin to /usr/bin/.

But! after launch, i put in my passwd and it comes back with, 'unable to access skype data files'.

does my error jump out at you?

tia, jackc...

Also, have you tried Skype for MID, yet?  I think the version is 3.0.0.93,
but I'm not sure whether that's in the same version # scheme as regular
Skype.  It's a modifed client intended for Linux MIDs (Mobile Internet
Devices).

 * http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-mid

I am running it now, on Fedora 11, and it works pretty well with my Logitech
QuickCam 9000 USB.  It seems to like PulseAudio, after I uncommented and
changed some settings.

 * high-priority = yes
 * nice-level = 3
 * default-fragments = 8
 * default-fragment-size-msec = 5

You may not need all of those, I'm not 100% sure which ones solved my
problems.  (Basically, I was getting sound so choppy that it sounded like
short, sharp bursts of static--totally unusable.)  After changing settings,
do a `killall pulseaudio`, and then restart your client apps (pulseaudio
should be automatically restarted when a client requests it).

I haven't gotten around to making an F11 RPM spec file, yet, but the manual
installation is dead simple:

 * Untar to '/usr/share/skype/',
 * copy the 'skype' script 'skype.bin' binary executables to '/usr/bin', and
 * edit the 'skype' script so that it points to the correct binary path

There are a few missing features in MID, but I haven't missed them.
