Dear all, just upgraded my system to 14.04 LTS and afterwards Skype and Chromium are gone. They will symply not launch.
Skype is updated to 4.3, uninstalled and reinstalled many times. Folder /.Skype has been renamed, deleted, etc.
When starting skype from terminal, nothing happens and the only visible message is: Aborted (core dumped)
Using gdb I get:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/skype
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Chromium has similar symptons, after starting from terminal I get something like: Invalid command (Core dumped)
Here some info about my PC:
xxxx@samarkand:~$ sudo lshw -C cpu
[sudo] password for xxxx:
*-cpu
Beschreibung: CPU
Produkt: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2400+
Hersteller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
Physische ID: 4
Bus-Informationen: cpu@0
Version: 6.10.0
Steckplatz: Socket A
Größe: 1995MHz
Kapazität: 3GHz

Fähigkeiten: fpu fpu_exception wp vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow cpufreq
Is it worth keep trying? or should I just dump my PC and buy a new one? (it would be a shame, still working marvelously).
Thank you.
