In fact there is an Ubuntu skype package, in the partner repository. And ia32-libs is a deprecated transitional package that just depends on the 32-bit versions of the libraries. So reassigning to the skype package.
However, the problem you describe does not sound like anything we can fix with the skype binary. Nor, for that matter, is there an actionable bug here on any of the library packages. Since others are not reporting this problem with skype, this is either a problem specific to your software configuration, or possibly an issue with your system not having enough RAM to run skype along with whatever other software you already have running. You can check for such a problem using the 'top' and 'free' utilities to monitor available memory. Closing this report as invalid. If you can identify a resource leak in the software feel free to reopen; otherwise there's nothing we can do here. If you need help tracking down the nature of the resource problem, please see http://www.ubuntu.com/support for information about available support forums. ** Package changed: ia32-libs (Ubuntu) => skype (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: skype (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to skype in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990566 Title: Skype causes desktop to slow considerably To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/990566/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
