[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
Skype was working for me up to Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit then since upgrading to 13.10 it started crashing silently. Especially when receiving or sending an instant message with a skype contact. The Skype UI app was freezing but the top bar icon was still active though pretty useless. I have followed the suggestion in #44 by kanaifu about going to Skype Options Sound devices and making sure that PulseAudio is used everywhere and then after all menu options disable the allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels. It was enabled and after disabling it now I see it works properly again. No silent crash anymore.

[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
We had exactly the same problem recently. vis:
machine/config::
---
SamSung Series 3 Laptop - NP350E7C-S02UK - Intel core ii7 quad 3.6GHz, 64 bit,
RAM: 8GB, HDD: 1TB - Windows 8 partition at start, Ubuntu partition at 500GB
mark - dual bootable via BIOS only (due to ntfs boot partition distance limit).
Ubuntu: 12.04.2 LTS
Skype: 4.1.0.20 - installed via Dash Home, Applications menu, run from icon in
Ubuntu applications sidebar
Skype Options: (as set up by default)::
- Video Devices: webcam = SC-13HDL11939N(/dev/video0) - {only option}; Disable
Auto Exposure = UNchecked
- Sound Devices: device='default' (for Microphone and Speakers and Ringing);
automatically adjust mixer levels = checked
-- *** NOTE: around a dozen other sound devices (mostly Intel) are also shown
as available, including one named just 'Pulse' - this is UNEXPECTED!
-- NOTE: also - no skype icon appearing in Ubuntu top dash/menu area - this is
unexpected
Symptoms:
- skype self test - sound effects and test call - appeared to work fine
- during voice only or voice+video calls (skype to skype), incoming or
outgoing - skype would suddenly close/crash at RANDOM times between a few
minutes and 20 mins into call (otherwise call quality good)
- during voice only or voice+video calls (skype to skype), incoming or
outgoing - skype would suddenly close/crash REPRODUECABLY whenever attempting
to either send or receive skype text message to same user within call
- upon crash, skype would still leave an active process running and would
still convey skype notification 'bubles'/sounds
- skype could be relaunched ok by clicking Ubuntu applications sidebar icon in
normal way, ie. without killing process - but resulting in same crash symptoms
eventually
Remedies attempted:
---
- killing old skype process, before attempting skype relaunch - same symptoms
- skype options, video devices: 'Disable Auto Exposure'=CHECKED - same symptoms
- skype options, audio devices: 'automatically adjust mixer levels'=UNCHECKED
- same symptoms
- skype options, audio devices: device='Pulse' (for Microphone and Speakers
and Ringing) - same symptoms + NO voice sound audible from caller (though
ringing and outgoing sound (audible by caller) ok).
Remedies that worked::
--
The following procedure fixed the problem: for us:
- close and quit skype.
- then from terminal session::
- remove and purge existing skype install::
$ sudo apt-get autoremove --purge skype
- ok
- make sure system up to date::
$ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
- nothing to do - ok
(NOTE: we still got incoming skype notifications bubbles popping up at
this stage - HOW!!!? (maybe i should have killed any existing skype
process also))
- reboot machine (to be on safe side), then, from terminal session
again::
- ensure we are looking at canonical partner apps repository:
$ sudo add-apt-repository deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc)
partner
- ok
- check all updated again for good measure and install skype from there::
$ sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install skype
- ok
- run/test skype again from Ubuntu dash Home, Apps - note: do not run recently
run version, but choose again from main 'Installed Apps' section - to be on the
safe side
After procudure above::
-
- skype launches - OK
- skype options show following::
-- Skype Version: 4.1.0.20 - this is showing same version as before!
-- Sound Devices: device='PulseAudio server (local)' for Microphone and
Speakers and Sound!
--- *** NOTE: this is now the ONLY device available (no strange Intel drivers
or just 'Pulse' available anymore)!
-- Video Devices: still set as before
-- 'Disable Auto Exposure' and 'automatically adjust mixer levels' - are
unchanged from before
(NOTE: skype logged into account automatically, without asking for password, as
previously set before - ie. reinstall purge did not appear to have removed
skype profile/config settings from home dir. no problem).
Testing:
---
- skype self tests, sound and call - ok
- so far, no crashes during either incomming or outgoing calls - sound or
sound+video - call quality good - ok
- NO crashes whilst sending or receiving skype text messages during calls
- file transferes during calls - ok
- Skype Icon NOW apears Ok in Ubuntu top dashboard menu - ok
IE: everything appeares to be working fine!
Sugested causes of original problem:
--
- possibly installing skype through Ubuntu dashboard Home, Install Apps menu,
uses different driver/install configuration to that used by terminal setup
above using Canonical partner repos, else possibly entirely different skype app
itself.
- possibly also, some previous applications install (eg; 'Mixx' application)
had overwritten some drivers.
- It

[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
After installing a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 and the latest Skype 4, I quickly started experiencing the same thing. ...regarding Skype crashing. For me, Skype worked ok initially but then started crashing during the login process and I have been able to fix it using the following process: (I have also been able to reproduce the problem, which is explained below) I start Nautilus (in Ubuntu) as root. (to do so, in a terminal type gksu nautilus) Press: CNTL+H to enable viewing of hidden files/folders Then click through directory structure starting with: File System Home [personal computer name] .skype Once in the .skype directory, there is a folder with the name of the Skype account. Delete it, and then start Skype. For me it works perfectly. The folder with the name of the Skype account, is automatically re-built by Skype. To reproduce the problem (on my computer): In the Skype window, a small orange number near the top right of the Skype window is displayed signifying a 'missed message or notification' (ie. notification of birthday or missed message). If I click on this orange number to show the message, my Skype 'locks up' and grays out. Eventually having to be forcibly stopped. After this, I am no longer able to use Skype. It will crash very quickly after login. If I carry out the fix outlined above, Skype works again.

Hi, I found my problem. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bits. First I tried doing what ArTaX suggested, which basically disables Pulse. Skype works, but Ubuntu sounds controls do not, so you need to use alsamixer to adjust volume settings. What solved all my problems was restore Pulse and then, in Skype options, unmark the option 'Allow Skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels'. After that the problems was fixed. With that option enabled, I could reproduce the issue consistently: two test calls, and Skype was frozen. After unsetting that flag, I was able to perform as many test call as I wanted and Skype was still working. Probably is not the issue that all of you are experimenting, but I hope this can help some of you.

[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
I tried what ArTaX suggested and now Skype seems to be working fine, but now I cannot control sound volume! I think that what those commands do is disable access to other user to Pulse, so Skype might be using another driver for the sound device. If this is the problem, I guess that the issue is the combination of Skype plus Pulse. I will try to enable Pulse again and see if I can change Skype to use another handler for audio.

I had it also on my old ubuntu 11.04, but I resolved following the instructions listed here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/33773/what-to-do-when-skype-freezes-silently The problem may be related to libpulse 32bit libraries, so the dirty workaround seems to remove read attribute to them, but I read that this causes many problems in other apps. See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/646862. The bug is marked Fixed, but now in 12.04 the libpulse libraries are newer, and it was adopted the multiarch paradigm... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980320 Title: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/980320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think this problem is not only for 64-bit users. It happens to me and I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bits. This makes Skype unusable and this is a big show-stopper for many people, so I think this should have a high priority. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980320 Title: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/980320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
I'm running Linux Mint 12 Lisa KDE 64-bit and have been having this problem. The fix seems to be to ensure you have ia32-libs installed as well as ia32-libs-multiarch which does not come preinstalled. Installing ia32-libs-multiarch fixed the problem for me. For referance, via release notes for ubuntu it states: Ubuntu 11.10 provides multiarch support for installing 32-bit library and application packages on 64-bit systems. For all amd64 installs and upgrades, select 32-bit software (like Skype and Flash), will now be installable directly using the same 32-bit packages that are used on i386 installations. You are not required to install the ia32-libs compatibility package. For users, this change means that the 32-bit libraries will always be available at the same time as their 64-bit counterparts, even in the case of security updates, and users will only need to install those 32-bit libraries required by the user's application(s). So their messing around with the 32-bit compatbilty library seems to be what messed things up for Skype installs. The ia32-libs-multiarch libraries are need but are not preinstalled with Linux Mint 12 KDE 64-bit. I'm not sure if that's the case for [k]ubuntu 11.10, upon which Linux Mint 12 is based.

[Bug 980320] Re: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits
I saw this comment, too. I don't believe it makes any difference. The 64-bit package skype in the partner repository already depends on skype-bin:i386. This means that we are already using the i386 version of Skype and its libraries. Also, the user says it works for him on 32-bit versions of Ubuntu, not 64-bit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980320 Title: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/980320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
