Hey how did you get microphone working in Skype?
Thank you very much! very usefull
Hello. I'm a 2-week old newbie to Linux (Fedora 13 64-bit). Didn't find the package at step 2. So I did everything except steps 2 and 3. Skype installed correctly. It says "Skype 2.1 (Beta) for Linux"
My mic works perfectly and I can do video chat also :-)
I got this error though (first time):
X Error, request 42, minor 0, error code 8 BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
(:11650): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtcurve",
(:11650): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtcurve",
Didn't get it after that.
Thanks for your help :-)
I tried all the above and when i tried to reinstall Skype i got the following "File contains no section headers.
file: file://///etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo, line: 1
'Put into skype.repo:\n'"
I also tried to edit the repos.d file under etc/yum, but it will not allow it please help. Prior to this I had voice on skype but no video, now i have nothing.
[My machine got a problem; so reinstalled Fedora 13]
Then when installing skype, after doing
yum install skype
i get:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit

Setting up Install Process
No package skype available.
Error: Nothing to do
Had to download a local copy of Skype from their website and did a localinstall:
yum --nogpgcheck localinstall ./skype-2.1.0.81-fc10.i586.rpm
Installed correctly with voice + webcam enabled ;)nadimattari');

I am new to linux (one-month old user or so). You cannot edit the file etc/yum.repos.d/skype.repo because probably you have not tried to do so as root. Enter the command "su" in terminal (will ask for the password); then try to edit the file. hope it helps...

hi,
my name is nitinkumar i have occurred the problem i am updated fedora Linux operating system but i have no idea about this updated fedora 13 plz..........
suggested me
good by thanks
This worked for me on Fedora 15 (beta). But a couple steps were not necessary.
1) I did not need to download and install nss-softokn-freebl. I already had a similar package installed via yum.
2) I did not need the special command (env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype) to start Skype. I am able to start skype with just "skype" or by pressing the icon in the applications menu. Audio and video works.
Finally, I wanted to note that this doesn't seem to install the latest version. I got version 2.1, where as the Skype website has a 2.2 rpm available for download.
