skype do not cope well with scim

, , , ...

If you use scim for input, and you want to work with skype, you need to get skype-static. Skype will not work, you will get core dump if you default input is scim! I just wanna cut it short, if your default input is scim, download skype-static from http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-static

You will get a file with filename such as skype_staticQT-1.3.0.53-generic.tar.bz2, then unzip it and do as follow:

Extract to a location, example
sudo tar xjvf skype_staticQT-1.3.0.53-generic.tar.bz2 -C /opt


Make a symlink
sudo ln -s /opt/skype-1.3.0.53/skype /usr/bin/skype


Thats it!
