I have HP 2133 with Suse SLED 10. I installed Skype version 1.2.0.18 because new version of Skype would not work without certain libraries. The old version has worked allright until now. But now it has stopped connecting me. I always get a message “wrong skype name or password”, even though they definitely not are wrong (I can connect to skype from other machines with this username and password). When I asked from Skype helpdesk what to do, the only solution they would offer was to update to newest version of Skype.
Now, the newest version needs
Qt 4.2.1+
D-Bus 1.0.0
libasound2 1.0.12
PulseAudio 0.9.10+ (optional)
It looks like SLED 10 has older versions of Qt and D-Bus, and no libasound or PulseAudio at all.
My problem is that I am not very good in using Yast. Years ago I had Suse, and I remember that when I needed to install something, I used Yast and it told me, which disc I had the program I was looking for on. But now I have no discs at all, and I don’t actually understand how I install the said libraries.
(as I recall, when installing skype, I did not use Yast at all).
So please someone , give advice on how to use Yast when trying to install something. Do I download something first and then use Yast to install? Or can i use Yast to both download and install? And the most convenient places to download those libraries from?
Or maybe some advice opn how I could make my old version of Skype work, not updating at all?

hi tikitin, welcome to -openSUSE- where you might get a good answer…
however, most folks here have never run SLED 10 (and are now running
openSUSE 11.1, which SLED 11 is based on) which may lead to anyone
here giving you a bad answer…
