Skype scrip t

Does anyone know where i can place this script

#!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

and have it loaded every boot? Right now i need to kick this script line off everytime after booting in to the system to get skype working.

Thanks.

#!/bin/bash

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

skype 

exit 0

# End Of Script

Place the script in ~/.kde4/Autostart if you use KDE and in my example I called it sky. Then open a terminal session and run this command to make it executable:

chmod +x ~/.kde4/Autostar/sky

Restart your computer and see if it works.

Thank You,

Don’t. Just start skype with that line.

You can create a shortcut, though.

I misunderstood your question. I thought you wanted to do that preload
thing overall for all the desktop, so that skype would work when clicking
on it. That is a no.

What you need is a shortcut for the script you are already using, or
autostart it.
