Skype on 12.04 x64 does not start even after purging and reinstalling it
- by Zevaka
I am wondering if there's anyone here who managed to use Skype on 12.04. It used to work (ever since I first tried Ubuntu 10.04) flawlessly, but after upgrading to 12.04, it just doesn't start.
If I start Skype from terminal, it just says Segmentation fault (core dumped).
I tried to remove Skype and installed it from different locations:
Skype website (did not install at all, "package error")
From official Ubuntu repository (doesn't start at all, segmentation fault)
From repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" (doesn't start at all, segmentation fault)
Interesting thing: even if I remove / purge Skype from the system, it still shows up in Unity menu (of course doesn't start).
Any help here?
