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,
Hi Marco, I'm on openSUSE 11.4 x86_64 GNOME 2. Skype does this on my Core2Duo system, too, roughly one in three or four launches. It behaves like an 'on-launch / at initialization race condition' where the indicator on my panel shows one core pegged and X becomeing only haltingly responsive until the process dies (or is killed off.) After the crash, I usually need to log out and back into my desktop to get X responding normally again. rpm -qa | grep skype skype-2.2.0.35-suse111.i586 uname -a 2.6.37.6-0.11-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2011-12-19 23:39:38 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 53391 0 snd_mixer_oss 20225 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq 66675 0 snd_seq_device 7770 1 snd_seq snd_hda_codec_hdmi 28023 1 snd_hda_codec_realtek 356587 1 snd_hda_intel 28773 2 snd_hda_codec 108050 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 7772 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 104468 4 snd_pcm_oss,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec snd_timer 26774 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm snd 84374 15 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8782 1 snd snd_page_alloc 9569 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm cat /var/log/messages | grep skype kernel: [ 206.232740] process `skype' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
