Have tried the work around on Ubuntu 14.04 but that leads to a segmentation fault (core dump)

However, it has been fixed in the sense that the LD_PRELOAD workaround[1], that has been widely applied by users for a few weeks, has been built-in in the archive packages as a temporary measure while awaiting a more proper fix. When upgrading to 4.1.0.20.0-0ubuntu0.13.04.2, please remember to 1) install both the skype and the skype-bin packages, and 2) remove possible extra files that you created when applying some workaround manually. -------------------------------------------------------------- Ubuntu 13.04 I try to launch skype but it crashes before it opens. This only happens when skype is used with the Nvidia drivers/repo's. With the default Xorg repo skype will open and run fine. Using any of the 304, 310 or 313 repo's skype will crash when an attempt is made to start it.
