I have something weird here.

Skype has launched a new version of its iPhone application that, for the first time, allows iPhone users to make and receive calls over their 3G data connection, but it will start charging for Skype-to Skype-calls.

Installing skype on Debian x64 38 weeks 3 days ago

I must say I'm pretty noob in Linux, and I'm trying to install Skype, using this manual. I successfully download the package using comand

wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb-64

but when I try to install the package I get some errors about dependencies.

root@102:~# dpkg -i skype-install.deb (Reading database ...

I am using Xubuntu 12.10. I have installed the latest Skype. But the weird thing is that Skype takes exclusive control of the audio in the system.

1. When I am using Skype, I cannot play any other audio in system. 2. When I am using any audio in the system, Skype audio doesn't work. 3. When someone is calling me in skype, Skype crashes when I receive it.

I installed skype-wrapper because the Skype default icon looks awful with the rest of the unity bar (and I like the integration), and uninstalled the sni-qt package to remove the normal Skype icon.

Now when I launch Skype (through skype-wrapper) there are two icons for Skype in the launcher: the top one is the skype-wrapper icon, with the unity quicklists and the mail count, etc.

[other] Skype heat 22 weeks 6 days ago

Hey, I have started noticing some heat increments with skype launched. Found out that skype is using over 80% cpu and makes some heat. Anyone here found an work-around how to lower CPU consumption with skype ?

Running 12.10 with 3.6.8 and skype 4.1.

I performed two F18 installations on the same hardware (I had to resintall for some reasons) in a week's span. Neither installation had any problems with anything except one program - skype.

In the first installation, skype worked very well. No problems whatsoever. However, in my installation today, I just am not able to get skype to work.

Although Skype went through hell last week with a massive meltdown, Skype was clearly gearing up to stun and amaze us all with its new Skype video call version for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, something that works over 3G and Wi-Fi, in a clear challenge to the Wi-Fi only FaceTime – although Skype STILL doesn’t work with Bluetooth!!!
