The new skype randomly crashes. I get this in console: nforce@nforce-laptop ~ $ skype Corrupt JPEG data: 2829 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 skype: pcm.c:2782: snd_pcm_areas_copy: Assertion `src_areas' failed. Aborted If I start skype after a reboot, it would almost definetely crash. If not reboot - there is about 30% probability to have the crash. Sometimes it crashes even when using it long time after starting Reproducible: Sometimes
Please post the output of `emerge --info net-im/skype'.

Could you try with USE="qt-static"?
Ok, I'm going to test it now
Ok, I've been using this with static qt for some time already, and it seems it's not crashing anymore. But it has a black rectangle around tray icon, and it's not going to let me use my qt-curve theme :/
Sorry, I was wrong. It still crashes. Now with this: nforce@nforce-laptop ~ $ skype Corrupt JPEG data: 2829 extraneous bytes before marker 0xd9 skype: timer.c:942: snd_timer_read: Assertion `((timer->mode & 0003) == 00) || ((timer->mode & 0003) == 02)' failed. Aborted The message about JPEG is thrown right on start and it's irrelevant to crash
Same here, using qt-static. emerge --info coming up shortly.

Problem occurs for me too (amd64). However, no console output upon crash.
Similar crash here, ~amd64, without qt-static and no console output. In my *limited* testing, I have noticed a funny thing as well (maybe related). If I connect to Skype from my home, wireless network, it crashes as described above. On the other hand, if I connect from work (wired connection) I see no crash. Don't take this as the absolute truth, as I have tested Skype for less than a day, before reverting to a version that always works. $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.9.46 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.11.3-r0, 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.37-gentoo-r4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P9500_@_2.53GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.14 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 10:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.4 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.14-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.65-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.10 sys-devel/make: 3.81-r2 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.36.1 virtual/os-headers: 0 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA dlj-1.1 skype-eula PUEL AdobeFlash-10.1" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=native" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs candy distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/" LANG="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="it en" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage/dark" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dell device-mapper dri dts dvd dvdr emacs encode exif flac fortran fortune gdbm gdu gif git gpm gtk iconv ipv6 java jpeg laptop lcms libnotify lm_sensors mad mikmod mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mudflap multilib ncurses nfs nls nptl nptlonly ntp ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcre pdf perl png policykit ppds python qt3support qt4 readline samba sdl session smp spell sse sse2 sse3 ssl ssse3 startup-notification subversion svg sysfs tcpd threads thunar tiff truetype udev unicode usb vdpau vorbis x264 xcb xinerama xml xorg xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="intel8x0" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia vesa fbdev" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS

~amd64; with or without qt-static I can see it show up and when it is 'auto-re-connecting', it crashes most of the times I try to launch it without any input. Any there is no output either = except for: - process `skype' is using obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT (but this line appeared also in the previous version I think), - Przerwanie (in English: Interruption/Interrupted). After like 7-8 tries, it stayed on. Before I closed it, I changed the status to disconnected. Afterwards, I could launch it without any problems, but it crashed when I changed the status to 'connected'. emerge --info skype Portage 2.1.9.46 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.5.2, libc-0-r0,

It's been crashing here too for few weeks (~amd64). I was using -qt-static, so my first guess was to re-emerge with +qt-static but this does not solve the crash. On console it just says Abort (core dumped)
Created attachment 273895 [details] output of emerge --info net-im/skype
It also crashes with nothing more than "Aborted" on my computer. Strangely, if I use "gdb /opt/skype/skype" to run, it seams to work fine (haven't tried calls or anything, but it doesn't crash).

Same here with 2.2.0.25 :) I start Skype in terminal and i see "Aborted" after login.
Everyone who has problems with skype after today (skype doesn't start with abort message in a console) just do the following: mv ~/.Skype/shared.xml ~/.Skype/shared.xml.old And then start skype. I had this problem with 2.2.0.25 version. This solution solved my problem.
Thanks, rm ~/.Skype/shared.xml helped.

This solution solved my problem. thanks, that helped on windows too
It doesn't help here (~amd64, qt-static). After deleting ~/.Skype/shared.xml and starting skype, it asks for password and the position is not the same as usual, which is expected. Once authentified, it crashes with *** glibc detected *** ./skype: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0ba007b0 *** skype (core dumped) With previous crash, the glibc line was not present.
Seems to have fixed it here
This is the official skype reaction (I suggest adding this to the URL field): http://heartbeat.skype.com/2011/05/problems_signing_into_skype_an.html Yesterday all my colleagues running skype under Windows have met this problem so I was ready when this problem has hit me. Interestingly, when I removed the file, couple more times (I used type on the keyboard quite fast) skype aborted and then the problem disappeared, even when I restored the old shared.xml so I think the real problem is some specially formed skype login server response which has been triggered recently and which can restore to its normal (with some latency) with login from "newly installed" (that is, without the shared.xml file) client. Of course, the real explanation might be much more complicated. Skype (that is now Microsoft) promise to release a fixed version in "few hours". Let us see how it is related to the linux version.
(In reply to comment #23) > Seems to have fixed it here Seems to have unfixed itself.
Now version 2.2.0.35 is available which presumably fixes this problem.
The new version is on tree but it does not fix the problem for me
I think I changed /usr/bin/skype: # cat /usr/bin/skype #!/bin/sh cd "/opt/skype" if [ -n "/opt/skype" ] ; then if [ "${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+set}" = "set" ] ; then export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/opt/skype" else export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/skype" fi fi exec ./skype "$@" and now I don't experience crashes at startup or randomly. I don't think I removed any files. I've got qt-static on.
My apologies, false alarm, so to say.. I have a different version (2.1.0.81).. :|
i confirm those crashes are still there with net-im/skype-2.2.0.35-r1 Btw, it's not so 'randomly' : it crashes few seconds after skype connected to server. always.

it keeps on crashing here. It's even worse now: removing ~/.Skype does not help anymore :-(
net-im/skype-2.2.0.35-r1 -qt-static finally worked for me after manually creating the directory ~/.Skype/Logs perhaps the net-im/skype ebuild should create this directory?

Works for me too. Amazing solution :-)
Yup, creatings Logs fixed my problem with 2.2.0.35-r1 without trying anything else. Any reason not to put this into an ebuild?

mm.. actually no, it still crashes randomly ("Core dumps"). i still have my ~/.Skype/Logs, it's even quite big (8Gb before i remove all those big files). Today i had a conversation for ~45 minutes and it crashed ~12 times. Really randomly, i can't find any pattern. Even the duration between two crashes seems random.
I deleted the Logs folder on 3 computers and I don't have crashes anymore...
$summary says 2.2.0.25... latest in tree is 2.2.0.35-r99. Binary-only package -> Upstream problem -> If you have a solution, reopen the bug.
Problem still exists for me (using 2.2.0.35). However, it crashes much less often now. Still, issues doesn't seem to be fixed upstream. Also, creating the Logs directory as proposed here is a bad idea. The Logs directly will grow with every skype call you make. It contains debug information of each call. Maybe even the calls themselves. That creating the Logs directory is a valid workaround might simply indicate that a race is involved in the Skype crash. And creating the Logs folder changes the odds of the race condition leading to a crash.
