Hi! I'm a newbee and would like to know how to open the link to the skype store in skype. All it does now is open it in Geany, but I would like it to open in seamonkey. I know i can copy and paste the link, but the computer I'm setting up is for my dad, and thats way past his level Rolling Eyes

Hope to hear from you!

Cheers!

My Puppy Linux machine is in the shop, so can't verify, but my XP Skype shows a store icon at the bottom of the Skype app screen. Does it show the same in 2.0.0.72?

Thanks for the link! It's actually not so hard to get to grips with is it? Very Happy

However, I'm pulling my hair out trying to find some easy to use software to record skype calls with.......

Hi, I am having a problem with a skype. First it worked fine, but at some point it stoped working. in console it was saying that libXi.so.6 was missing,so I downloaded it, and now it says that libXi.so.6 file is too short Shocked

Any suggestion would be apreciated.

I finally have Skype working pretty well, so before I upgrade I want to know what the new one will do better than the older one.

I would like full screen video on skype (have switched to icewm from joewm to get full screen streaming flash video).

Using 4.2.1 with 2.6.25.16 kernel.

Thanks

Steve

my webcam is not working on skype. My data:

Logitech C200 (vendor 046d, ProdID 0802)
Puppy 4.1.1 (Kernel 2.6.21.7)
skype_static-2.1.0.47
Compaq Presario 1800 (256 Mb ram)

I've already downloaded the pets for the v4l lib, and installed.

The camera is working well but slowly with xawtv, surely enough for my needs.

But inside skype the test window shows nothing when activated and i can get control of it only by closing the window.

I've already tried the export, LD_preload commands that i've found in other threads with no results.

Anyone that has solved a similar problem?

thanks a lot!

Skype loaded fine and with a little tweaking (keep mic and mic boost out of the red) the audio test is free of heavy background noise.

The video is a different story.

"gposil" tells me that Gtkam doesn't see my Crystal Eye Webcam because Gtkam is for PTP class digital Cameras, I can see it fine using Luvcview as it works well with uvc webcams.

Any idea if Skype is capable of interfacing with my Webcam?

Note: This is common in ACER laptops. Mine is the Aspire 5535-5452.
