I experienced the same problem as soon as I upgraded to 13.04. I followed the instructions on http://geekphreek.com/2013/03/skype- segmentation-fault-core-dumped/ and preloaded libGL.so in this way to start Skype:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 skype And after that Skype stopped crashing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1002187 Title: Skype won't start (segmentation fault) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1002187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
