Public bug reported: I had a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS.
I downloaded skype-ubuntu-precise_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb from the official site and installed it on my Haswell (i7 4770k) computer wich uses Intel Graphics. No video card in this system. Both local and remote skype video on my screen was solid green, the remote partner could see me without problems. I tried downgrading to skype-debian_2.2.0.35-1_amd64.deb which is known to be working on my Sandy Bridge ( i7 2630QM) machine. This resulted in local (preview) video working both remote still being solid green. I found a workaround that fixed both skype versions: - Generate an /etc/X11/xorg.conf with Xorg -configure - Add the folowing to Device section for Intel Graphics Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" This wrokaround slows down all accelerated graphics - I wish the default would work.. ** Affects: xorg-server-lts-raring (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server-lts-raring in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219446 Title: Skype video is green on Hashwell To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server-lts-raring/+bug/1219446/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
