Hi, guys, Ubuntu 13.10 x64, Skype 4.2.0.11
I've experienced the same issue. Following messages where appearing in the console (the segfault crash happened after ending a video call): pk@dassburger-ux32a:~$ skype ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH ALSA lib conf.c:4694:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters CARD=PCH ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default:CARD=PCH ALSA lib conf.c:3314:(snd_config_hooks_call) Cannot open shared library libasound_module_conf_pulse.so ALSA lib control.c:953:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL default skype: hcontrol.c:326: _snd_hctl_find_elem: Assertion `hctl && id' failed. Aborted (core dumped) pk@dassburger-ux32a:~$ ls The issue seems to be solved by installing libasound2-plugins for i386 arch: $ sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugins:i386 After this, no error messages in the console, and no crash after video call. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980320 Title: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/980320/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
