salut dorin. am vazut clipul tau legat de problema cu skype citind un comentariu din ubuntu software center. indiferent cum l-as instala in momentul in care schimb volumul ingheata.

toate cele bune!

I do not have both those options. I have Canonical partners and it is checked but not the source one

[mowriter]

I get skype up only through command prompt (sudo skype). I get video but not microphone, though in sounds I confirmed the mic works and receives input well.

Outside command prompt I still get initial login and then it just closes out.

[mowriter]

Still doesn't work. Canonical partners and Canonical (Source code) were already checked off in my Software Center> Software Sources menu. What next?

[mowriter]

@mowriter Also, dragging Skype to the side bar, the image remains invisible, though clicking that empty space pulls up the sign in window.

Or you could run as administr..... oh wait..

[emilyttlg13]

I did everything you said, and I didn't have a launcher icon from the previous installation, but it still shuts down after l log in.... I even tried older versions just in case but it's the same with every one! :-(

[emilyttlg13]

I also found other posts saying I should delete the shared.xml file in the .Skype folder, but it keeps coming back!!!

[pinkandpurplepeople]

Thank you so much, we messed about with it for FIVE DAYS before we came across this link. You've saved our sanity!!

[TanakiIII]

Absolutely perfect, thank you! I'm glad I found this link in the Software Center reviews.

[drewricciardi]

Thank you very much! Have just updated my netbook from 10.04 to 11.10 because my mic wasn't working, and then i couldn't use Skype...:(

this fix is great!!

[sjd1138]

Thank you very much! I'm also an Ubuntu and Linux newbie. So this was a very helpful and useful video. Much appreciated.

[zucchini1404]

Thank you!

[jwojewidka]

Thank you! Most of it worked, except the internal mic isn't working (external does) and the video stopped. Suggestions?

[LizIyinbor]

thank you

I uninstalled skype as you said, activated the two canonical partners, reinstalled skype, but when I try to start skype from the launcher, it still has the same problem. What to do?

[dorinciorescu]

@manoftheb8k did you try to search for Skype from the dash? you may have in the launcher the icon from the old installation. If so, then do as follows: (1) right-click on the Skype icon in the launcher and click "Keep in launcher" - the icon will disappear. (2) open the Dash, search for: "Skype" and open it. (3) optionally you can right click on the new "Skype" icon in the launcher and click "Keep in launcher". Tell me if that worked for you.

[manoftheb8k]

@dorinciorescu Thank you, that worked for me. I'm sorry for asking such a question, but I am a newbie in ubuntu.

[WooWamWam]

@manoftheb8k Dont put skype in the launcher from ubuntu software center it says that in the revews

[insanalkitab1]

Dorin Ciorescu, I found your comment on Skype in Ubuntu Software Centre - it's the solution I was looking for. Why don't they activate Canonical source by default? it's weird...

[ahrorzelinski]

Thank you! I had exactly this problem, and your video helped me reinstall corectly Skype in Ubuntu 11.10. It works perfectly now!!!

Very clear tutorial.
