My Skype will not load since 11.3 upgrade

English Applications
#1

Hi all,

My Skype is not running at all.
I have recently upgraded my Opensuse to version 11.3 and since the upgrade Skype will not run.

When running the skype from the command line the error message that I receive is “segmentation fault”.

I am unsure how to fix.

I have read another post on the internet that talks about Video drivers.

On the previous 11.2 opensuse that I was running I had the Nvidia Propriety drivers. Now I have the opensource versions.

Thank you.

Make sure you have the 32 bit libqt4.

libqt4-32bit version 4.5.3-2.4.2
still: ~> skype
/usr/share/skype/skype-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK17QVariantAnimation10metaObjectEv

I have installed several times, same error, same happened with ekiga, only the error changed to:
:~> ekiga
ekiga: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0: undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n

???

I am also having the same issue. Just reports “Segmentation fault” when trying to execute Skype from the terminal.

RE: My Skype will not load since 11.3 upgrade.
Check YAST>Software>Software Manager for ‘libpng’. Install libpng12. This should solve your problem.

Both libpng12-0 and libpng12-0-32bit are installed. Still no joy.

Same here unfortunately.

Upgraded LibQt4-x11-32bit from 4.5.3-2.42 to 4.6.3-1.5

This fixed the problem for me :slight_smile:

could fix my mess with updating all LibQt4* to the same version, now 4.6.3-126.1.

it works !
