 |
|
I've tried to install skype with apulse:
| Code: | [I] net-im/skype
Available versions: (~)4.3.0.37-r5^msd {apulse pax_kernel +pulseaudio selinux}
Installed versions: 4.3.0.37-r5^msd(07:04:31 19.9.2015)(apulse -pax_kernel -pulseaudio -selinux) |
but when executed it crashes:
| Code: | $ skype
Neúspěšně ukončen (SIGABRT) |
(it means unsuccessfully ended)
| Code: | [I] media-sound/apulse
Available versions: ~0.1.4 ~0.1.6 (~)0.1.6-r1 {ABI_MIPS="n32 n64 o32" ABI_PPC="32 64" ABI_S390="32 64" ABI_X86="32 64 x32"}
Installed versions: 0.1.6-r1(07:03:51 19.9.2015)(ABI_MIPS="-n32 -n64 -o32" ABI_PPC="-32 -64" ABI_S390="-32 -64" ABI_X86="32 -64 -x32") |
In ~/.Skype folder there are two files:
shared.lck shared.xml |

When apulse is installed the proper statement to run skype is:
I had trouble getting apulse to work, so I ended up disabling apulse. See post:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1026998.html
There doesn't seem to be much support for apulse. |

Latest versions don't need this anymore. In my case everything works, but I run skype in 32-bit chroot. |

Nothing special. I have following /etc/asound.conf in 64-bit environment
| Code: |
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
pcm.!default{
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix:CARD=1,RATE=48000"
}
|
And this one as /etc/asound.conf in 32-bit environment
| Code: |
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmix:CARD=1,RATE=48000"
}
capture.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:2,0"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 1
}
|
My devices (aplay -l)
| Code: |
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

|
To fix indexes for devices I've also placed
| Code: |
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
options snd-hda-intel index=0,1
options snd-usb-audio index=2
options snd cards_limit=3
|
into /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
I belive that's all. Though I might have forgotten something. |

Maybe you should try to remove $HOME/.Skype directory (or better rename for test). Skype on x86 works fine with apulse. In my installation (with apulse) I have file /opt/bin/skype which runs
| Code: | | exec i686-pc-linux-gnu-apulse skype-bin "$@" |
That is why one does not need extra "apulse" when starting skype.
I would try to start skype with strace to see why exactly skype gets SIGABRT. Ie.
| Code: | | strace -f i686-pc-linux-gnu-apulse skype-bin |

Same behavior with or without pulse audio, so mistake must be somewhere else.
Here's my strace of skype:

In line 2639 your process receives SIGILL, which indicates that it tried to execute some opcode that your CPU didn't understand. After that things went crazy. The thread performed bunch of seemingly silly actions and then after a while terminated the application using SIGABRT. I can't say why the operand was not understood. It could be incompatible opcode, or it could be wrong jump operation.
I would recommend installing different skype version, in the hope that this problem is fixed there.
Potentially, bad opcode might be in one of the libraries used by skype. Then comes the question which flags you use in CFLAGS spec in make.conf. |
