I'm running 12.04 and I've installed skype via the software centre.

As with 11.10 everything works fine with 12.04 as well.

There is only one thing that does not work. I can't see myself in Skype video calls. The video call works fine, I can see the other side the other side can see me. Buid in microphone works.

If I click on 'show myself' during the video call nothing happens. I know that it works on Ubuntu in general as I had it working a while back on a different machine (Xubuntu 11.04). Could that be related to the GPU? I'm now on a intel/nvidia one.

Any Ideas where I can hunt for some options or tweaking?
