Apps :: Skype login problems

If you are installing a Debian package that has a ton of dependencies, the best way to get the changes to stick is to do a regular hd install instead of running from livecd or frugal.

You could try the "deb2dsl" utility, but chances are you would generate a huge .dsl extension that won't work due to post-install scripts, not enough RAM, etc.

I had a bunch of issues getting skype to work. I just wrote a post about it at http://blog.sheergoodness.com/?p=17 .

are the libs that I used to get the static QT version of skype working with DSL 2.3.

How does one submit an app into the testing repository?

email the .dsl to
extensions at damnsmalllinux.org

Sent. It's also at http://blog.sheergoodness.com/wordpre.....tar.gz

In DSL Mirror there are for download:
skype-0.93.tar.gz
skype.tar.gz

I can't login using skype.tar.gz
Not login problem using skype-0.93.tar.gz, but an audio problem using the OSS driver: A strong humming noise superposed on audio output.
Then I switch to ALSA driver and the audio work fine with Skype.
The sound chipset is VIA 8235.

Anybody had the some experience using Skype?
