Almost same problem with 32bit ubuntu 12.04LTS. Skype starts well and I can send text-chat without a problem. But if I attempt a call (whether echo test or to another user) skype freezes and the rest of the computer follows. The hard drive light shows that it is working very hard but nothing moves - not even a mouse! This state is maintained for as long as I can wait before forcibly shutting down with the power button! Maximum I've waited is about 20 minutes before forcing the computer off. I'm using a built-in webcam which always worked fine till I upgraded to 12.04LTS.
