Thanks for the fix - I have added comments of what I believe you are doing with the fix for a better understanding for those of us who are not so smart, please correct me if I am wrong:
(move the current skype run script to a new file "skype-bin") mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/skype-bin (make a new skype run script) gedit /usr/bin/skype (copy this so that skype will preload "libGL.so.1" before running the original run script, which is now "skype-bin") #!/bin/sh export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1 exec skype-bin (update permissions to allow the user to run the script) ## save and close and then: chmod 0755 /usr/bin/skype (can anyone explain why libGL.so.1 is needed?)
