Hello openSUSers,
I know, I should be opening a bug on bugzilla but I am in hurry so hope that ALSA/openSUSE people could take in account of this brief report.
It occurs that by starting SKYPE version 2.2.0.35-suse111, my Core i5 laptop freezes and keeps unresponsive for a couple of minutes.
So far I was not understanding the reason of this problem but today I switched /var/log/messages immediately before to start Skype and I recorded the error Log in the annex.
It appears an error of compilation of Skype's code as well as ALSA related issue.
There are newer or patched versions of Skype for Linux around?
Thanks.
Cheers,
I have run Skype on 11.4 and 12.1 forever without problem. Maybe you could check the following page and make sure that you have all the right libraries installed?
Um... PEBKAC? That's always possible I guess. First, some questions and comments for you: If you know for a fact there's a problem with the packaging, i.e. not pulling in dependencies properly, please just say that and don't infer that people experiencing this problem don't know how to keep their (rpm based) systems consistent. I've had to make subtle tweaks to my *nix installations due to poorly behaving modules and firmware before. It is much more likely that our 'flavor' of hardware has exposed a new or latent bug with a recent update. BTW, Skype has run for me nearly flawlessly on SuSE / SUSE / openSUSE since at least 8.x -- even on this hardware, up until fairly recently. regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
