(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) ;-) (In reply to comment #2) > Because it seems to work for other people and there are no problems in other > distributions. Uhm? Quickly reading the forums thread, there are lots of people with this problem, out of which about two mention Gentoo? |
