[PC-BSD Testing] Skype video is vorking?

[Vladimir Vasilenko]

Hello, if Skype is installed from ports that video will works ?

Best regards.

You can just install the skype package and the video worked for me.
The main thing I noticed (and that I remember from previously) is that
you need the 2.1 version of skype (the "skype" package), while the 2.2
version (the "skype-devel" package) has more issues with it.

Just try running "pkg install skype" and it should work for you. Of
course, your mileage may vary depending on your webcam and other hardware.

We should also have a PBI for skype coming out here soon. I built a
testing file with EasyPBI and it seemed to work just fine, I am just
waiting on the official/signed PBI to put into the AppCafe.

Thank's, Ken, but when I installed Skype, I get that:

[***@twin] /usr/home/jeltoesolnce# pkg install skype
Updating repository catalogue
The following 2 packages will be installed:

Installing linux-f10-dri: 7.2_1
Installing skype: 2.1.0.81_1,1

and linux-f10-dri is conflicts with nvidia-driver (For me this driver is nvidia-304)...

Vladimir.

Ah, I did not know about that conflict, but installing from ports will
probably just give you the same conflict (since the package is just a
pre-built port).
I would recommend that you just download our PBI module for skype[1] and
build the PBI with EasyPBI really quick. It only took about 10 minutes
on my system, and 90% of that time was just downloading files. That
should let you install it without any of the conflicts.

Ken, I don't think you can bundle Skype. Its Makefile has:

RESTRICTED= Redistribution prohibited.

We've been doing it for years, if skype complains we will take it down,
but usually they are OK with it.
