Before anyone starts asking, this is what you need to do to make skype work on a 64-bit F12: (1) Make sure that you have a working sound, pulseaudio and all. (2) Download the latest skype rpm for Fedora, from skype website. At the moment, it is the "skype-2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm" for Fedora 10. (3) Do a yum install of the following: glibc.i686 alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 libv4l.i686 This will pull in cca 86 or so .i686 packages, mostly libraries. (4) Go to a directory where you downloaded the skype rpm. Do a "yum --nogpgcheck localinstall skype-2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm". (5) Start skype in a terminal. It should Just Work, using default devices for audio input and output (AFAICS, pulse will be chosen automatically). Test sound and test call should also work out-of-the-box. At least they did for me... If it Just Works, you don't need to start it from the terminal anymore. If it doesn't Just Work, you will probably see a message in the terminal complaining about not finding "somelibrary.so" or similar. In that case: (5a) Do a "yum whatprovides somelibrary.so". Yum should reply with "somepackage.i686" that provides that library. (5b) Do a "yum install somepackage.i686", and restart skype. (5c) Repeat (5a)-(5b) until skype stops complaining. But the packages from step (3) should cover mostly all dependencies. That's it. This was tested and verified to work on a clean install of F12 from a 64-bit KDE Live CD, of course after a full "yum update". Anyone having positive/negative experience with other (non-KDE, non-clean-install) setups, feel free to share. Enjoy! :-) Best, :-) Marko -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
