It is not happening to me. Try running from a terminal and see if it is throwing any errors.

no errors skype starts without any errors.

But,

When i try to send message

i get this error

/usr/bin/skype: line 4: 6182 Aborted /usr/share/skype/skype-bin

Are you running 32/64 bit Linux? Is the Skype you tried to install 32/64 bit?

You should use 32 Skype even if running 64 bit Linux. 64 bit Skype is still very much beta. You do have to add a couple of 32 bit versions of a couple of libraries.

i guess you have the latest kernel and have the same problem:

which makes me guess one of you needs to file a bug report, and the
other needs to add a comment to it…see:

Maybe I miss it or it is nowhere written:
Which version of skype (exactly) do you have installed and from which place
(a repository, with 1-click, from the skype web page)?
Can you post the output from


rpm -q skype

But you did not tell us where it comes from, my own skype for 11.3 is the
following one:

(I cannot guarantee that what you want to do will work with what I use, I do
conference only with audio and chat I do not use video).

That works for me on 64 bit opensuse 11.3. I installed it simply in my home
folder (installation = unpack it) and made a symlink in ~/bin to the skype
executable.
So if it does not work for you it is almost trivial to remove it.

You need to uninstall your skype with yast first.
