Solution 1

Ahh in 11.10 the path is different

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype

Now it works

Solution 2

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype

Run the command from terminal window to launch Skype.

Any Webcam works.

    Got 11.10 recently and as usual wanted to make Skype video work by doing this

    http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/219

    Well that used to work for my linux mint 11 installation but now it does not seem to work anymore.

    Anyone else got this problem?
