I don't subscribe to IRC but people off-list and newbies have disparaged openSuse by calling it being like "DLL Hell",

some time ago I checked for a skype update on MS Windows. There was one, so I took the plunge and updated. After the update, skype did not start at all. Don't know why, as it doesn't tell me. I probably need to upgrade from to a newer Windows version. This would not happen with a good package manager like zypper, as that knows in advance, if everything is present on the system, to let the new / upgraded application work. Oh and btw, the old skype version is no longer around.... No skype anymore.

Simply use the version from

repositories/home:/Lord_LT/openSUSE_11.4

I operate it for quite some time and it's working well...

Interesting. Does it support webcam (video too)?

BTW: I meant with no skype anymore, skype on Windows because of (very) bad package / software version management.

Yes, indeed. I operate it here with all kind of webcams: From my very old Philips up the most recent Notebook internal once.

What is different with skype version compared to the one offered by Skype, what changes / adaptations do you make?

If you need some packages it's always worth looking through the home directories. Unfortunately with the opensuse repository search this option is usually deactivated by default.

I know my way around in the openSUSE repositories and the repository search including the home directories (as I've an own home repository). However, I didn't expect skype to be available via the repositories. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
