Hello Anthony, Check;
http://mrk.sed.pl/node/22/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3856516 http://forum.skype.com/index.php?s=371031b5cc409110cf01b9fa8e1621c8&showtopic=102838 Also, if you use amd64 platform, make sure you install 32bit versions of all of the necessary packages (check by running skype from command line). It should be much easier to check everything working in x86 environment first, because of the skype. Note that skype 2 beta & gstfakevideo aren't very stable pieces of soft anyway... Hope it will help you. Samir Anthony Durity wrote: > What is gstfakevideo?
