Hi,
I know that Skype is a proprietary software, but I want to let you know that qtwebkit-2.3.0-1.fc17.i686 from kde-unstable (Fedora 17) makes Skype segfault at startup.
The setup that works is the following: renoir ~ $ rpm -q skype qtwebkit.i686 skype-4.1.0.20-fc16.i586 qtwebkit-2.2.2-5.fc17.i686
If I upgrade using kde-unstable, then Skype segfaults.
Put qtwebkit-2.3.1-0.1 into kde-unstable just now, at least one ubuntu user claims it resolves the skype problem for them. Mind trying it to confirm or not?
Unfortunately, it still segfaults on my machine: Fedora 17, 64 bits, but Skype is 32 bits. renoir ~ $ rpm -q skype qtwebkit.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 skype-4.1.0.20-fc16.i586 qtwebkit-2.3.1-0.1.fc17.i686 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-304.64-3.fc17.i686
OK, another workaround, try invoking skype as:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 skype
I already said in the discussion that it was one of the workarounds I know. The other one is to downgrade qtwebkit.
Fwiw, anyone seeing this *not* using nvidia drivers?
The segfault is in libGL from nvidia drivers. Even if the bug has been triggered by the upgrade of qtwebkit, the bug is certainly related to the use of nvidia drivers. Unfortunately. As I said, let's wait for the nvidia developers to solve the issue.
