I have Skype on four different 64-bit machines and two versions of Fedora 64-bit (one Opteron/FC6, one Athlon X2/FC6, one Opteron/F7 and one Xeon DuoCore/F7). All machines are fully updated (F7 machines have the -41 kernel and latest udev) and Skype works just fine on all once you sort out which switches to enable in Alsa. Note that I have the 1.4.0.99-fc5.i586 version of Skype installed (yes, an i586 package on 64-bit machines running 64-bit Fedora). The older versions did have issues. In my case, the mic was muted after hanging up a call requiring Skype to be restarted. A minor annoyance as I rarely made one call after another on Skype. The new version doesn't have this issue (at least for me). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - I don't suffer from insanity...I enjoy every minute of it! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
