Mitja , I have noticed that skype drops at irregular intervals from some locations that we reach on a regular basis. We know this is bad lines at the other end. Some small communities may limit or time out certain areas. (My brother in law is a small town official in this specific area and he says everybody complains about it.) If your getting it on all calls you may possibly have bad lines on your side.

Date: Tue, 17 May 2011 10:38:58 +0300 From: Ion-Mihai Tetcu ite...@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-emulat...@freebsd.org Hi, As you may have noticed skype ports were updated a few days ago. All skype ports were moved to net-im/: - skype12: unchanged, very old version (for FreeBSD 6) - skype20: last version with OSS support, that used to live in net/skype; the DISTFILE is gone from the vendor but if you happen to have it it would be a way of having sound w/o a need to upgrade your base OS - [RECOMANDED] skype: currently at 2.1.0.81 and the best supported - skype-devel: currently at 2.2.0.25, sounds is OK, video doesn't work In order to run either skype or skype-devel with fully working sound you need: - to run fc10 (most probably, please report what you can run with fc4): (OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10,OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10 in /etc/make.conf for systems that doesn't have it as default) - In order for Skype to work OK, you need your kernel and modules to be: - post 2011-05-03 in on HEAD - post 2011-05-08 in on 7,8-STABLE The port tries to catch if your system version is too old, but there's a ~3months window where because of a lack of OSVERSION bump, this is not possible. So please check; and PLEAE READ THE PKG_MESSAGE for setup details. For how to update your kernel/world, see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html IF YOUR OSVERSION IS NOT NEW ENOUGH, SOUND (ESPECIALLY MIC) WON'T WORK. If you run into problems, at very least we need to know the output of: $ uname -a; sysctl compat.linux | head -2; grep OVERRIDE_LINUX_ /etc/make.conf; cat /compat/linux/etc/alsa/pcm/pcm-oss.conf the skype version you are using, and hardware details (eg. webcam) if related. I most probably will ignore any mail not containing this info since without it it's impossible to help. Please test your sound /video setup outside skype before blaming skype / mailing me. Many thanks for all of the work that went into getting a modern version of Skype working!

Hi Alex, In that case you can make maintainer and write an e-mail to that person. Of course, you can even lend a hand or take-over the port maintenance if the current maintainer has no time for it.

What's interesting is that on another system that had PC-BSD installed the program would play alright, but if you closed down the system and rebooted it would ask for root's password in order for Skype to play.

Which version of freebsd are you using? With all of the chmods that
I've been doing
things began to get a little bunged up. Couldn't even bring Skype up as
root. So I
deinstalled Skype via pkg-cutleaves and reinstalled. In the process I
had to also do a
deinstall/reinstall of linux_base-fc6. So now I'm back to the original
setup. I assume
that you followed the directives of UPDATING 20080318 in order for you
to get Skype
to work.

this problem once or twice before, but both me and Skype are at a loss to

and see if one of them has any suggestions.

Re: skype permissions
OK...get this. As stated earlier I did a complete reinstall of Skype. I shut down the system for a while, and when I brought it back up and called Skype from a user's command line the licensing window came up, followed by the sign on window . But when I try to log on it tells me that another instance of Skype may be running. That's as far as it goes. But, of course, if I call Skype from root's command line the program loads perfectly.

I have 7.1-RELEASE-p2 installed.
compat.linux.osrelease: 2.6.16
linprocfs mounted
linux_base-f8-8_10
I changed to root (su -) before I installed skype. root's shell is
/bin/csh. umask is 22. I can\t recall that I should have done anything
creative with the root account.
I just removed skype, checked that /usr/local/share/skype were
removed, and reinstalled skype (this time I actually logged in as root
instead of using 'su -'. I also checked that the umask was 22) with:
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes
make WITH_NVIDIA_GL=yes install
and:
will-try# ls -l /usr/local/share/|grep skype
drwx--6 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:03 skype
I'm not really sure if I understand the COPY_SHARE routine in bsd.port.mk:
COPYTREE_SHARE= ${SH} -c '(${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 | ${CPIO} -dumpl $$1 /dev/null \
21) \
${CHOWN} -R
${SHAREOWN}:${SHAREGRP} $$1 \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type d
-exec chmod 755 $$1/{} \; \
${FIND} -d $$0 $$2 -type f
-exec chmod ${SHAREMODE} $$1/{} \;' --
but it seems to me that the 4:th row change the permission on all
directories below /usr/local/share/skype/. However, the permissions
for the directory /usr/local/share/skype are not changed. I also made
a quick test with cpio, to simulate how /usr/local/share/skype are
created:
will-try# ls -lR
total 0
will-try# mkdir subdir
will-try# find subdir | cpio -dumpl rootdir/
0 blocks
will-try# ls -lR
total 4
drwx-- 3 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 rootdir
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir:
total 2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 17 04:24 subdir
./rootdir/subdir:
total 0
./subdir:
total 0
It seems that the directory created by cpio do indeed get the wrong
permissions. Maybe there should be an explicit change of the
permission in COPYTREE_SHARE ? (chmod 755 $$1)

It seems that the directory created by cpio do indeed get the wrong
permissions. Maybe there should be an explicit change of the
permission in COPYTREE_SHARE ? (chmod 755 $$1)
Yes, when I change /usr/local/share/skype from drwx-- to
drwxr-xr-x I am able to get some response as user. But, as posted
earlier, it only goes so far, ending by telling me that another
instance of skype may be running (which, of course, it isn't).

Please update your ports tree then read UPDATING 20080318 and follow the install directions there. I have seen the problem you're describing and it was caused by a hosed linux_base install and was causing skype to fail. You should probably deinstall everything linux, reinstall linux_base-fc4, then update as directed in UPDATING. Please note that linux_base-f8 is still in development, and your mileage may vary using that version.

Just as a follow up on my earlier problems with Skype. I was rebuilding
my userland over the weekend due to the XOrg 7.3 update. By accident I
updated also OSS port.
My skype now works flawlessly. I found out that there was a mixer bug
for the AudigySE card (I thought something was wrong with my oss mixer
of course since the built in oss ROCKS but I am not using it)
By the way developers did spectacular job with XOrg 7.3. Everything went
smoothly.
Sincerely,
Predrag Punosevac

You can set this in /etc/sysctl.conf so it's reset on startup to your new

The first call would work fine, the following would not at all. Restarting skype would fix it, but then it'd stop working again. what kernel + world (from what day) are you running? mine is FreeBSD ayiin.xxx.com.au 6.2-STABLE FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE #10: Sun Jul 1 09:50:58 EST 2007 World from same day or a day or 2 earlier.

Is possible to use skype without disabling artsd, in my case? In Debian it works, so I suppose that it must work, but how to do it under FreeBSD? Thank you a lot Ariff !
