after install new skype, audio don't work, on F15
I turned to use the dynamic tarball file and have no crash any more.
I have the same problem I think. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes Skype makes my entire computer fail and I can't do much about it. I use Skype 2.2 Beta and Fedora 14.
Is there anyone who fixed it? Else I'll have a close look this weekend, because I need Skype to work.
Edit:
Ow, and after such a crash i don't hear any sounds although everything is fine in alsamixer. Don't know whether this part of the problem or just a side effect.

I too have the same bug of having skype using about 2.7 Gigs of ram of 3.0 Gigs, having alot of slow downs, but I then kill the process to get rid of this lag.
I want to report this bug to skype developers but I don't know how.anybody can help ?
At least you can visit the skype forum and post a thread three.
One of the developers claimed on the forum that they had tested the new version on a variaty of linux distributions before releasing it. Now it is clear that they did not. At least they did not test the skype 2.2 enough on Fedora, one of the most popular linux distributions.
I'm on Fedora 15 (beta), kernel 2.6.38.5-24.fc15.i686 and Skype 2.20.2.25. When I upgraded, it worked no more. It opens, but crashes the system when it tries to connect. I have to hard-reset.
Has anyone found a solution?
On my F15 x86_64 I''ve noticed that at Skype login if no sound is played it starts eating all the RAM... I think is a pulseaudio related problem, sometimes I have the same problem with VLC eating all the RAM.
But be sure, now that Microsoft have bought Skype the compatibility with Linux will be better! :-p
