I installed Skype using apt-get install skype. Each time I tried to run it there were different problems. First time the screen opened, everything froze. Reboot.
Second try. I opened contacts and everything froze. Nothing worked. Reboot.
Third time, at contacts, typed a name and the screen displayed a multicolour changing test pattern.
Frozen again. Reboot. Next time tried to phone someone. Everything froze.
Another attempt and the cursor froze for several seconds, moved briefly, froze again.
Most of the other applications run without any problems. Some, like KPackageKit, I avoid as installing or removing a package crashes the system. Is anyone else having problems with Skype 2.0, or does my machine have problems? (I used Skype with Debian Etch and Kubuntu Hardy without any problems on this same machine in 2007.)
