I am in video group, lib4l-0 library is installed and I replaced the line Exec=skype %U with the line Exec=LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype %U in /usr/local/applications/skype.desktop. No luck. When I try to establish a connection, the interface still comes up with the camera icon crossed out. I assume that this icon should not be crossed out at any time, even before contact is made. I notice that besides the crossed out video camera, to the left of the interface is the IM symbol. Does this mean that the communication mode I'm trying to establish is IM, not video? Under General Options, enabled is call rather than chat. I notice now that the contact with whom the problem first came up has a little blue video camera icon to the far right in my list of contacts. That icon is missing for another contact. What does this icon mean? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
