Same problem exist for me (I'm 2 years user of Ubuntu and "love" it!). As I'm software developer too, I understand that and hope finally it' be fixed. With some of workaround above it disable Ubuntu audio controlling options. Currently I'm using the following very simple script to start skype:
sudo chmod ugo-r /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.12.2 /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3 skype sudo chmod ugo+r /usr/lib/libpulse.so.0.12.2 /usr/lib/libpulse-simple.so.0.0.3 At least this after using skype it will return these libraries to "normal" stage and Ubuntu audio controlling functions work fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/646862 Title: skype crashes after signing in -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
