#31 and #43 work for me with proprietary Nvidia drivers, but only up to
the next time I run Nvidia driver command line installer. Apparently,
the installer removes /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 and
libGL.so.1.2.0 when you install 32 bit libs (so that Nvidia's libGL.so.1
is found by the linker instead).
To make the solution permanent and safe you have to manually download
libgl1-mesa-glx_9.1.1-0ubuntu3_i386.deb package and extract its
CONTENTS/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa somewhere safe, and where the
linker won't find it by default (I've put it to /usr/local/lib/i386
-linux-gnu/skype_mesa). Then modify /usr/bin/skype to preload libGL.so.1
from that location instead. So in my case it looked like this:
export
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/local/lib/i386-linux-gnu/skype_mesa/libGL.so.1${LD_PRELOAD:+:}$LD_PRELOAD"
exec /usr/lib/skype/skype "$@"
