Oh, I thought he was trying to install on CentOS 7, but I wouldhave
still given him the same advice with the caveat taht I hadn't tried it
on CentOS 6 and don't know if it depends on anything too new for C6.

This might not be much of an issue.  Possible solutions:

1.  Rebuild the skypeforlinux package with rpmrebuild.

2.  Create a small dummy package that requires gnome-keyring and
provides libgnome-keyring.

3.  Force install skypeforlinux.  I would only recommend this just to
test the package out before trying 1 or 2 above.

Personally I would try force installing the package first (yuk) and see
if it works.  If it does then I would do (2) above so that updates would
install without having to repackage each time.

Your solution only works on CentOS 7.  The OP is trying to install Skype
on CentOS 6.  The Skype package requires

[root@peach ~]# yum install skypeforlinux
Error: Package: skypeforlinux-1.12.0.4-1.x86_64 (skype-stable)
   Requires: libgnome-keyring

[root@peach RPM_REPO]# yum install libgnome-keyring-3.8.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.x86_64
Error: libgnome-keyring conflicts with gnome-keyring-2.28.2-8.el6_3.i686

On CentOS 6 the package is named gnome-keyring.  On CentOS 7 the package
is named libgnome-keyring.  libgnome-keyring is not available on CentOS
6 so the package will not install.

The old 32 bit version in the Nux repo won't be working for much longer
as skype is changing it's protocols.  There is a new 64 bit alpha
version you can get directly from skype that works:

https://repo.skype.com/https://repo.skype.com/

The instructions for yum works, and after that just:

Thanks. I missed that - hadn't heard of nux-dextop - but I did find a

I've installed xawtv.i686 and removed xawtv.x86_64 so I can see that 
32-bit video is working, but still not in Skype. It shows the graphic

I don't disagree. This was why I added (right or wrong) to the

surveillance. It's a common business model for online content

I would rather keep the list technical and apolitical. I know we can't

A discussion about alternatives and their technical merits would be fine

 No. This is because Microsoft dropped support for older versions of Skype.



 When I go to the Skype web site I see that there is a version several

 Can anyone offer some sound advice to getting my Skype running again?

I already had the nuxrepo set up on my system.  All that was needed was

 The reason skype stopped working is that Microsoft decided to change its
 communication protocol in an incompatible way, starting from 1. August.
 In order to continue working, all devices running skype (computers,
 smartphones, etc.) on all operating systems must update to the latest
 version of skype for their platform. For Linux, this is version
 4.3.0.37.
 
 As far as CentOS 6 is concerned, you want to download the
 latest dynamic skype tarball from the skype website [1], and install
 it as per instructions on the CentOS wiki [2]. Essentially, the
 installation is the same as for previous versions, no surprises. Works
 well for me.
 
 As far as CentOS 5 is concerned, no support, forget it.

 Hey Y'all,
 
 About a week ago my Skype installation stopped working.  I can start it up
 but I can't log on.  Does this have something to do with the recent update
 to LibC?  Is there a repo som where that has the latest version of Skype
 for CentOS 6.5?

No. This is because Microsoft dropped support for older versions of Skype.



 When I go to the Skype web site I see that there is a version several
 versions newer available for RPM based Linux but that one won't even start.
 
 Can anyone offer some sound advice to getting my Skype running again?

Did you try the directions on the wiki?

Have you made sure that your mic is set to capture sound via
alsamixer?

Run alsamixer in a terminal and hit tab to get to capture devices.
Then have a gander at what is selected. You need to make sure your
mic is selected as the capture device. Otherwise, it may have
defaulted to something other than your mic. On my system it chooses
the first CD-ROM for the capture device for some reason.

Also, make sure that you have mic boost on as well. You can mute
the mic in the Playback section as well so you don't hear your own
voice as well. When you run the skype test call you should bear
better results.

OK. That's the version I installed on 18 July 2008. So that's not the
reason I have no audio output from the microphone. I disabled the
onboard Audio, thinking it might be easier for me to get this working,
with a generic Sound Blaster compatible sound card. When I have time,
I will try it with the Intel onboard Audio again.  :-)

Well, great to hear it works for you. Unfortunately I don't have the 
slightest idea how to make the outgoing sound work here. Googling only 
shows that the problem seems rather widespread. It-works-here doesn't

I'd say this is quite annoying.

You generally don't need to:
1. Skype is smart enough to pass through pretty much anything.
2. You say that you manage to setup a connection and hear the echo
test incoming voice.

IMHO you should concentrate on making sure you are using the latest
version of Skype for Linux and getting your mic working.

Skype until some stage used the old non-alsa sound interface and
required the alsa emualtion of that interface. I think they finally
switched to ALSA with version 2.

http://alsa-project.org is a VERY helpful place (and carries very
helpful mailing list) for such stuff, since it appears almost certain
to me that your issue is generally with your mic or Skype's sound
configuration and not Skype's network side.

Good luck,

Niki: I don't see anything for the microphone there! 

Even if you scroll to the right? Try the [CursorRight] key. Alsamixer 
shows only as many channels as it's capable of in one console screen. 
Try scrolling. Ah, yes. To unmute a channel, use the [,] key. This one 
deserves the Silliest Shortcut Of The Year Award :oD


One other thing. You mentioned several mixer apps, IIRC. I've seen some 
Linux installs of the kitchen sink type, where people installed just 
everything available on the DVD. Result: you get everything from GNOME, 
KDE, XFCE, plus any other available window manager. As a result, you 
also get several concurring sound systems: ALSA, OSS, Arts, and IIRC 
there's something called 'esound'. It's a bit like folks installing LPR 
and CUPS at the same time. When you have several pieces of software 
attempting to talk to the same device, there will inevitably be conflicts.


I've been a long-time Slackware user, and Slackware has one guiding 
principle: KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!


On my CentOS desktop, I have *one* desktop environment: XFCE. One sound 
system: ALSA. And one mixer app: alsamixer (I uninstalled xfce4-mixer).


So what you could do to make things easier: establish which sound system 
and sound mixer app you are using. And then get rid of the unused ones.

Niki: Thank you, for everything you wrote! Question: Last night, for
reasons completely unrelated to this problem with the microphone audio,
I downloaded the .iso for the Knoppix Live CD and I have that CD. Can I
troubleshoot this microphone audio settings problem, with one or more
utilities on the Knoppix Live CD? If so, which ones?

My belief is that what you wrote is dead accurate, with regard to many things
and once I get the Sound working properly, I will try to get rid of what I know 
I am not using.

However, with regard to web browsers, as one example, I find that having both 
Firefox and
Konqueror is necessary at this time. Firefox, with the settings as liberal as I 
can make them, does not
work properly for me, when I access Gmail on the web. Konqueror, which Gmail 
shows is not fully supported
and does not allow access to all Gmail features on the web, works much better 
than Firefox there.

A former Supervisor and Colleague, who uses Ubuntu, has no problem using Gmail 
on the web, with a later version of Firefox.

OT: From what you and Dag wrote about Firefox 3, I will upgrade from CentOS 5 
to 5.2, when I can get the DVD!

 I've been a long-time Slackware user, and Slackware has one guiding 
 principle: KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid!

I respect anyone who uses Slackware and I believe strongly in the KISS idea.
 
 On my CentOS desktop, I have *one* desktop environment: XFCE. One sound 
 system: ALSA. And one mixer app: alsamixer (I uninstalled xfce4-mixer).

I install both GNOME (which I use 95% of the time) and KDE when I do clean 
installs. Once, I had
GNOME corrupted, and I used KDE, temporarily, to keep going. KDE has many many 
more things than GNOME.
I always use K3b and there are some other KDE Applications and Utilities that I 
use occasionally.

 So what you could do to make things easier: establish which sound system 
 and sound mixer app you are using. And then get rid of the unused ones.

After I find the solution to the problem, I will try to do that!

It is my understanding and belief that Front Ends (GUI or Text based) that 
modify Linux Configuration files
may do so in different ways. If the file is simple, I modify with a Text 
editor. One experience I had, with
system-config-display (?) was that it said it was writing a new Xorg file, but, 
in fact, it did not. Someone else posted 
in this ML and Johnny or Jim said to use the command with -- rewrite or 
something I can't remember, as I write this.
One of the things about Webmin, is that supposedly one can use it to modify 
Configuration files, or do it manually with a
Text editor, without screwing things up.

I will keep working on this microphone audio problem and if I cannot solve it, 
then I will post in the alsa-user at lists.sourceforge.net
as Anne suggested yesterday, in 2 or 3 days!

Thanks again! Lanny

Note: The Wiki for Skype needs a tiny update.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype
It's not a Beta now. Last night, I downloaded and
installed skype-2.0.0.63-centos.i586.rpm
The Skype web site calls this a Gold release.


Much closed source software has a Gold release.



I'm having the same problem I had when I tried to use the Skype Beta.
It's not picking up audio from the microphone. The hardware works
fine, when I'm using MS Windows XP, but I hate to use Windows and
I use Linux, except when I want to use Skype or MS FrontPage.

I believe the problem has to do with a configuration setting. I use the
GNOME Desktop. 


In System  Preferences  Sound  Audio Conferencing  Sound Capture
there are five (5) choices: (a) CS46xx (b) ALSA (c) OSS (d) test sound
(e) silence and I get the following results when trying to test them:
(a) test and dies (b) test and dies (c) testing pipeline and I can stop
the test OK. I suspect OSS is the one to select (d) test sound = OK (e)
silence


Fire up a console and launch 'alsamixer'. Check your microphone settings 
there.


In Skype, there's a small utility with a voice server, where you can 
check your sound configuration easily.

I use their test robot to test, but when I try it with Skype for Linux, when

In the Gnome mixer, make sure that the Microphone and the capture 
microphone icons are NOT MUTED (a red is is muted) .. also change 
devices to the OSS Mixer and in the capture tab, check the microphone

It's not obvious from that.  There is an alsa-users list at 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  I had to go to them once with a problem and 
found that they have detailed knowledge of a lot of sound cards.  The 
solution to my problem wasn't obvious either - and it was a matter of finding 
the channel setting to record, so similar to yours.  They were very helpful.

In the Gnome mixer, make sure that the Microphone and the capture 
microphone icons are NOT MUTED (a red is is muted) .. also change 
devices to the OSS Mixer and in the capture tab, check the microphone 
icon for microphone is also not muted there.

Johnny:  I think I have that OK. In the Skype Options for the Sound
Card, I unchecked allow Skype to change the Mixer settings. Also, I took
off the 20 dB boost for the mic.

In Sound Preferences  Devices  Audio Conferencing  Sound Capture  I
have it set to OSS. Am I correct, to have that set to OSS?  When I did a
test, I got this error message:

gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink
profile=chat: Unable to open device /dev/dsp for recording: Device or
resource busy

When I try to do a test call, with the Skype robot, when they would play
back what I have recorded, I get 2 beeps, with only 1 or 2 seconds in
between them. When I try that on MS Windows, there is about 10 seconds
where I can listen to what I have recorded.

Your time and your help are greatly appreciated as are the countless
hours you devote to CentOS!   Lanny

It's not obvious from that.  There is an alsa-users list at 
alsa-user at lists.sourceforge.net.  I had to go to them once with a
problem and found that they have detailed knowledge of a lot of sound
cards.  The solution to my problem wasn't obvious either - and it was a
matter of finding the channel setting to record, so similar to yours.
They were very helpful.

Anne: Thank you for that suggestion! If I can't get this working with
help from this ML, I will ask them for help! Lanny

in GNOME: System  Preferences  Volume Control  Options  Mic. Select
There are two (2) options: Mic1 and Mic2

My headset has stereo headphones, but the microphone is not stereo. Is it 
normal, that I would see two (2) options for the microphone?

It reflects what the soundcard chipset has, not what your system
actually makes available.

Note: The Wiki for Skype needs a tiny update.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype
It's not a Beta now. Last night, I downloaded and
installed skype-2.0.0.63-centos.i586.rpm
The Skype web site calls this a Gold release.


Thank you so much for reporting. However, it would be appreciated if you 
could report improvements to the wiki on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] so 
reports like this one do not get overlooked.


I just made your proposed changes.

Thanks again,
