I always follow the instructions on this page: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Skype. I have done this on each new installation since 12.1 (I think that's when they started it), and it works great. When you download skype, it doesn't have one labeled for 42.1, but the latest version is what you are supposed to use and it works for 42.1.
You have to make sure you create and use the wrapper script as described on that page in order for skype to work correctly.
Hmmm ... I don't have complete confidence in the contents on that page. It says, in part: "Wrapper script (Note: The below script should NOT be required with a recent Skype version)." The latest version on my system didn't require that script. There are also some possibly inaccurate / obsolete instructions there showing the use of 'sudo zypper' to install some packages which should, I believe, already be installed by default (pulseaudio being one of them.) I believe all I did was the following: - downloaded the '12.1' 32-bit version - used 'zypper in' to install it - invoked skype from the command line to check for errors - it launched and ran fine, but I'd already installed certain 32-bit dependencies for a previous version -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
