[SOLVED] Skype does'nt open

Post by Sybelius »

Hi All,

Just installed skype-4.3.0.37-i486-1dj.txz (from repository Slackel/Extra), also installed:
- json-c-0.10-i486-2gv.txz
- pulseaudio-5.0-i486-1dj.txz
Did'nt install "pavucontrol" because I saw it only to SlackBuild.org and it requires many dependencies, I avoid it for today.
The problem: - Skype started but when the login window comes out after clicking it closes; opening from terminal I receive the following output:
dominum@darkstar:~$ skype
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 667: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
Any idea? :)

Any idea
Not really. Just a knee jerk responce from me. Wait to see if others think my link is relevant or not before trying anything.

Since Microsoft took over skype. I told anyone I cared about, to talk to me online, to install Jitsi if they wanted to talk to me.

You need jack and avahi.

Code: Select all

slapt-get -i jack avahi
add an "avahi" group and user

Code: Select all

groupadd -g 214 avahi
useradd -u 214 -g 214 -c "Avahi User" -d /dev/null -s /bin/false avahi
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon
chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd
/etc/rc.d/rc.avahidaemon start
/etc/rc.d/rc.avahidnsconfd start
Then run skype

Hi Djemos,

Thank you for your kind support, I did (even reboot) but I get the same error:
dominum@darkstar:~$ skype
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 667: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!
Edit

As "root":
root[dominum]# skype
No protocol specified

Don't run skype as root.
skype run on salix 14.1 without problem. This have been checked.
you have salix 14.0.1. Maybe this is the problem. Pulseaudio need to recompiled on 14.0.1
Or it has to be a missing dep.
Look on the dep file of pulseaudio and skype and find what is missing.

Done. If I am not wrong needing the following packages:
cxxlibs
openssl-solibs
opus
libconfig
Installed them but the situation is the same

Still some dep is missing.
But since pulseaudio compiled on current and need libs exist on 14.1 at least and since you use skype and pulseaudio from current slackware (slackel) on 14.0.1 salix, it is difficult someone to have such an old system to help you.
I had salix mate 14.1 and found that jack and avahi was missing. After installing them, skype run without problem.
So i suggest to update to 14.1 otherwise recompile pulseaudio by your self on 14.0.1 and also i do not know if skype latest version run on 14.0.1
since i cannot check it.

I don't think it's the version. I had installed skype 4.3 on salix 13.1 a few months back for a friend (although I built my own pulseaudio and several other packages) and it was working fine.

Hi Djemos :) Solved!

I have been upgrading to 14.1, then got Skype working after installing "Pavucontrol" (by SlackBuilds.org) and setting Pulse Audio properly.

Never solving without your kind help, thank you
