Solved: Skype crashing / aborting on Linux
Tuesday, November 15, 2011 9:20:56 AM
Your Skype Linux is aborting randomly just a few seconds after connecting? (console message: skype: pcm.c:2782: snd_pcm_areas_copy: Zusicherung »src_areas« nicht erfüllt.)
Try this in your terminal:
it seems like Skype is expecting this directory and crashes when its not there.
This bug is known since at least 2011-04-14 but new Skype owner Microsoft apparently is not in a hurry to fix it..
Tested with Skype 2.2.0.35
Good luck!
