Yet Another Way to Make Skype Run Under Ubuntu 13.04

Posted on April 28, 2013 by Geekster — 2 Comments ↓

I have previously written these two articles on how to fix  the seg fault error of Skype on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail:

• The Quick and Dirty Method to Make Skype Working on Ubuntu 13.04 Running Nvidia Proprietary Drivers
• Make Skype Work on Ubuntu 13.04, with Nvidia Proprietary Drivers

In this article I will show you a third way to make Skype work properly on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.

Open the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/skype.conf file, in your favourite text editor, as root:

$ gksudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/skype.conf

Paste the following line:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/

Run ldconfig:

$ sudo ldconfig -v

This is it. Enjoy.

   Hello,

   On my side nvidia proprietary installer removes (or moves) “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1”. Therefore preloading this lib fails. Forcing libgl1-mesa-glx reinstallation recreates “/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1”. Skype works. But nvidia driver conflicts with libgl1-mesa-glx. So no clean solution found.
