There is a workaround, though not as yet a fix as far as I know. The workaround is not inconvenient. Put the following into /usr/local/bin/skype (and mark it executable):
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype Assuming you have the correct version of libv4l, the "skype" command should now behave correctly. (The trick here is that /usr/local/bin/skype lies on the default execution path ahead of /usr/bin/skype, so when you type "skype" the preload will be executed, followed by the normal version of skype.) There are a number of threads on this subject, but when you're trying to track it down it's difficult to know which ones are current. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/561957 Title: Webcam image flipped - libv4l issue or kernel? -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
