the proof ;) http://www.aei.mpg.de/~pau/skype.png
I don't have any contacts under that nickname; therefore the list is empty... Anyway... I would like to employ something like ekiga instead but I see that there is not a package for it and I didn't find it in the ports tree... Cheers, Pau 2006/12/11, Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Matt, yes, I can sign-in and I can see all my contacts etc. However, I get an "skype has experienced a database error"; and I am afraid the solution is to run the programme as root, which I don't like at all. I am looking for a solution... Maybe the groups file Anyway I cannot check it out because I am having some trouble with the micro configuration in my o'bsd crashbox... and I do not have much time to play around with these things. In any case you can try yourself. Download the static binary and then use linux emulation with the following libraries: ld-linux.so.2 libGL.so.1 libICE.so.6 libSM.so.6 libX11.so.6 libXau.so.6 libXcursor.so.1 libXext.so.6 libXfixes.so.3 libXft.so.2 libXmu.so.6 libXrandr.so.2 libXrender.so.1 libXt.so.6 libXxf86vm.so.1 libasound.so.2 libc.so.6 libdl.so.2 libdrm.so.2 libexpat.so.0 libexpat.so.1 libfontconfig.so.1 libfreetype.so.6 libgcc_s.so.1 libm.so.6 libpthread.so.0 librt.so.1 libstdc++.so.5 I can send you the libraries if you wish (makes 2MB) but don't want to overload the mailing list with... spam :) in any case I would like to listen to what people think of using skype on an o'bsd system. Let's make the axiom that skype is not malware/spyware etc (as they state on their page). We have to blindly trust them because it's CLOSED; they give you a binary. Now... what happens when you start a conversation over skype? Does this make your system more vulnerable? attackable? I'm just learning... thanks Pau ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matt Hildebrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 11/12/2006 06:36 Subject: Re: ahem... skype on o'bsd To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I did this too a while ago (on 3.9-release, I think), and skype would even start up, but it would crash during sign-in. Have you had more success? If so, I'm sure the list would be interested... :-) Best, -Matt On 12/10/06, Vim Visual <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I know, I know... but I was just curious... > > I just wanted to know whether it's possible and I simply wanted to > report here that I successfully installed the static binary on my > o'bsd crashbox...
