[SOLVED] Skype green video

[J.G.]

Try this. Nothing else worked for me here on this 10.10 64 bit machine.
sudo aptitude install libpt-plugins-v4l2 v4l2ucp subversion libsdl1.2-dev
Then install skype from the ubuntu software centre

IF YOU R using 64bit ubuntu...

Max.

1. sudo mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/oldskype
2. create file on your desktop "skype"
3. open it and type

#!/bin/bash

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/oldskype

4. Save it and close
5. cd Desktop
6. chmod +x skype
7. sudo cp skype /usr/bin
AND START YOUR SKYPE AS USUAL! Have fun!
p.s. you can delete file skype from your desktop
