Another quick one. I was having trouble with Skype in the recent Linux Mint 16 RC with Cinnamon 2.0 (an otherwise fantastic release). Skype was showing a long list of audio devices and utilising Alsa, which was causing some problems when other sound events occurred via Pulse.
To fix, just run:
sudo apt-get install libpulse0:i386And restart Skype, hopefully that's that.

How did you manage to install skype? I use this distro also and I have big problem with libqtwebkit:i386 dependences. Firstly, I tried to install skype from www skype site - I cannot do this because of problem with libqtwebkit:i386 dependency. I cannot install this lib - synaptic want to remove a lot of things from the system. I have libqtwebkit (64 bit version) installed. I tried to install skype from repo. This time it says: Depends: skype-bin, Conflict: skype-bin. Any idea? Thanks for response and your help

PS Sorry for my English
Try removing the existing skype/skype-bin packages and reinstalling from the repository perhaps. Something along the lines of
ReplyDeletesudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin
or
sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin:i386
then back to the good old
sudo apt-get install skype
After "sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin" or
ReplyDelete"sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin:i386":
Package 'skype' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'skype-bin:i386' is not installed, so not removed
It's strange for me but thanks for your help
