Enabling Logitech C250 Webcam in Skype 2.1 Beta (Ubuntu 10.04)

My Logitech C250 Webcam works with guvcviewer, but does not working directly with my Skype 2.1 Beta. When tested on the Video Device it just gave me a blank screen.

To make it work, I perform the following steps:-


cd /usr/bin
sudo mv skype skype.real
sudo touch skype
sudo gedit skype


And in the new skype file, type in the followings and saved:-


#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 skype.real


close gedit and change the new skype file access:-


sudo chmod 755 skype


Restart your Skype and test again with Video Device.
