Skype causes blank black screen

[shichemt]

Hi,
I just immigrate from Windows XP to Ubuntu 10.10 ( Ubuntu as OS Principal no Dual Boot )
I have a such problem with SKYPE, I talk with someone who had a webcam and after 5 - 7 mn
it crash and the menu hide and everything even desktop background, and it shows a blank black screen
I don't know what I have to do, I'm sick of tired of windows' blue screens :(
can someone guide me to what i have to do?

PS: i have installed Emerald

I have the exact same problem. Only it's done a couple other things as well. Seems to cause a system-wide crash. Have you fixed it?

Pretty soon it'll get better:
Microsoft in $8 billion bid deal for Skype :P
