Skype core dump

Solution 1:

Solution:

I found that the problem is related to prelink so to solve it you need to exclude skype from prelink:

1. Add this line to /etc/prelink.conf

   -b /usr/bin/skype

2. purge skype

   sudo apt-get purge skype

3. Reinstall skype

4. sudo ldconfig

Solution 2:

Temporary workaround

sudo  mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/skype-bin

then

gedit /usr/bin/skype

and copy this:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1
exec skype-bin

Save and exit. Then:

chmod 0755 /usr/bin/skype

It should work.

I also experienced this with Skype from Ubuntu’s repositories, but x32.

I now installed Skype again from the official Skype package, and now it works.
