Skype for Linux 1.3 beta works on Ubuntu Dapper

Tag: Linux, Networking — Dan @ 9:23 pm

Noticed today that Skype have release a beta version of their client for Linux. From the discussion on the Ubuntu forum it seems that it runs just fine out of the box for people with a clean Ubuntu Dapper install. Those that applied the workaround for the previous version have to revert those changes to get it up and running. I’ve installed it on my machine and with a little tweaking of the sound/mic/capture settings it seems to be working great!
