[DNG] Skype crashes

2021-12-05 Thread Haines Brown
I'm running Chimera. I downloaded current version of skypeforlinux
and installed it. The annoying prompts for password to keyring
I skip.

The audo and video test ok. But when I try to make a free test call, 
Skype crashes.

I have similar issues.
 I have skype for Linux on 3 different systems:
- stable Gentoo, intel i5, very barebones setup (no pulseaudio, no
gnome, just windowmaker) -> restarts at each call
- beowulf amd64 -> restarts at each call
- i7 with beowulf, everything works. But this one runs xfce and has all
its dependencies installed like puleseaudio, udev, etc etc

I do not think that it is a version or CPU issue, but something in skype
pretending that certain dameons or interfaces running, I did not
determine which yet.

Since skype became a wrapped web application, it beame a mess and a hog.
