Skype video worked in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon

As you might have read, Skype released a beta version with Video support for Linux. I downloaded the Ubuntu Feisty Fawn package and it installed without any problem in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. I didn't try video chatting with anybody. I just checked to see if Skype recognized the webcam and it did. The clarity looks better in the small window than AMSN, but I'll have to chat with someone and check. I'll do that soon.

  • Ubuntu and Kubuntu 8.10 beta released:
    • Arun: I think it's because of the driver issue. There is no workaround other than using open source driver, but everyone is hoping that ATi would support the new X before the final Ubuntu 8.10 release.
    • quixote: I decided to try 8.10 under Virtualbox, and it just c-r-a-w-l-e-d. I have an ATI graphics card, so I wonder whether that's the problem? Any workarounds? Also, I understand the e1000 bug has been dealt with. You can run Ibex fearlessly . . . even if slowly ;-)
