Greetings, I am running Fedora 12 x86_64 with all the updates as of this morning installed and I also enabled the Skype repository. If I install skype 2.0.0.72 via yum, it sees and detects correctly the webcam (/dev/video). When I press "test" I see myself in the skype window. but there is no way to make it use audio. It lists several possible audio in/out devices but none works (this is an ASUS card with an nVidia on-board chipset for video and audio). If I download and start the static binary of skype 2.1.something from the Skype website the opposite happens. Audio is recognized immediately (I've just done a voice call without problems) but skype can't use the webcam. It sees the /dev/video just like the rpm version but when I push the test button nothing happens. There is no error message on the command line. A first search online only returned this page: http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=416921 Right now I have that .so file, but in another location: rpm -qa | grep v4l libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-v4l-0.2.0-3.fc12.1.x86_64 [root@polaris ~]# rpm -ql libv4l | more /usr/lib64/libv4l /usr/lib64/libv4l/ov511-decomp /usr/lib64/libv4l/ov518-decomp /usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so ... and if I try to use it with LD_PRELOAD I get: ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. which, I imagine, is due to the fact that the skype static binary I'm using is 32 bit, not 64. Since the webcam is working just fine with Cheese, I would appreciate some feedback before installing something else that could screw things up. Would installing libv4l-0.6.3-1.fc12.i686 solve the problem above without creating other problems? If not, were else should I look to gather more info as to what's causing the webcam problem?
