This seems to fix the skype crash indeed for me too. I selected "copy host cpu configuration " in virt-manager. I don't know if this is what you suggested or if I should use a sort of wrapper for qemu launch. Previous: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -enable-kvm -m 1536 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name w7test Now after this setting: /usr/bin/qemu-kvm -S -M pc-0.14 -cpu core2duo,+lahf_lm,+sse4.1,+xtpr,+cx16,+tm2,+est,+vmx,+ds_cpl,+pbe,+tm,+ht,+ss,+acpi,+ds -enable-kvm -m 1536 -smp 1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -name w7test skype test call I would say is perfect, probably better than native one on Linux (also due to different app quality itself between platforms)... The downside I'm experimenting is many spicy crashes: - always when doing copy from host to guest - sometimes simply opening the browser - One time as soon as I make the copy from host I get the crash in spicy with this inside log of host handle_dev_input: oom current 807 pipe 0 reds_main_handle_message: invalid agent message reds_disconnect: red_dispatcher_shutdown_cursor_peer: handle_dev_input: cursor disconnect red_dispatcher_shutdown_peer: handle_dev_input: disconnect Then I rereun spicy and I'm able to run the paste of the previous copy.... Any hint, eventually in debugging to help?
