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.
Worked great, thanks for posting.
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.
