After starting skype-1.0.53-r1 as user and trying to call skype user skype connecting indefinitely. Problem doesn't occur as root user and in skype version 1.2.*. It's no firewall problem because older skype works with same skype configuration! I tried already with artsdsp wrapper, same problem here. Same problem with static skype version! Problem was already discussed in thread specified by URL above, but no solution. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start skype and log in 2.Choose skype user and press connect button Actual Results: Skype tries to connect indefinitely, chat also does not work, but skype logs in. Expected Results: Connecting to other users should be possible also with skype versions greater than version 1.2 emerge --info: Portage 2.1.2.2 (default-linux/x86/no-nptl, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.5-r0, 2.6.19-suspend2-r3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.19-suspend2-r3 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz Gentoo Base System release 1.12.9 Timestamp of tree: Sat, 17 Mar 2007 12:00:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.31 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r4 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r6 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.14 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium4 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.inode.at/source/ http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://130.59.10.35/mirror/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.mneisen.org/gentoo http://194.117.143.69/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo http://src.gentoo.pl ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/gentoo-mirror/ ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo http://194.117.143.72/ ftp://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.public.fix.fi/gentoo ftp://mirror.etf.bg.ac.yu/gentoo/ http://ftp.roedu.net/pub/mirrors/gentoo.org/ ftp://194.117.143.71/sites/gentoo http://194.117.143.71/" LANG="de_DE@euro" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage /usr/portage/local/layman/voip" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dfx X a52 aac aalib accessibility alsa apm arts asf berkdb bitmap-fonts cairo cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dts dvd dxr3 eds emboss encode esd fbsplash ffmpeg firefox foomaticdb gdbm gif glitz gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal iconv ieee1394 imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jpeg jpeg2k kcal kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility kdexdeltas libg++ libwww lm_sensors logitech-mouse mad midi mikmod mmx mmx2 mono motif mp3 mpeg musicbrainz mysql ncurses nls no-seamonkey nsplugin ogg openal opengl oss pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime rdesktop readline real reflection samba sdk sdl session slp snmp spell spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg tcpd theora tidy tiff tk truetype truetype-fonts tunepimp type1-fonts unicode usb utf8 v412 v4l vcd vidix vorbis wifi win32codecs x264 x86 xinerama xml xorg xv xvid xvmc zeroconf zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev mouse keyboard" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
(In reply to comment #0) > Problem was already discussed in thread specified by URL above, but no > solution. This is not a support forum for binary-only stuff... So, what makes you believe it's a Gentoo bug?
Because it seems to work for other people and there are no problems in other distributions. Skype does work as root and so i think it could possible be a access problem to some device. I found out playing the example files in skype configuration menu gives me no sound. So it's possible a sound problem. Or it could be a problem with dbus (what's the file '/etc/dbus-1/system.d/skype.conf' for ??). Is there a possibility to find out there is a access problem to any device? I don't like the Skype philosophy and skypes linux support (i want to say i hate it, Windows version 3 and Linux version 1.3). But there is no really good alternative until now. The best alternative to skype i think is OpenWengo, but the most people are using skype (most Windows users). I think other people have the same problem, if there is no solution and nobody can help i have to use the old skype. Possible there will be a skype for linux without problems in 100 years (version 1.4) ;-)
