similar to: installing working skype possible???

I've managed to get Skype set up and working. I can hear the other person talking, but she can't hear me. During a conversation, I tried what I thought to be all possible settings in both the "Volume Control" application and in Skype itself. But no joy. To make matters more puzzling, I had skype working on this same machine last year using CentOS 5.6... or maybe it was

This error: Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: debug. Please verify its path and try again occurs every time I run yum (and is where execution stops). Why? and/or What can be done to fix yum so I can use it again? tnx. -- War is a failure of the imagination. --William Blake

Earlier last year I had a 5.7 system running with skype. It worked fine. Later last year I had to reinstall my entire system. I didn't install skype then. Yesterday I tried to find a version of skype to use on 5.7, but couldn't find one on skype.com; there's no version for RH/CentOS 5.7. Does anyone know where a working skype can be found? Thanks.

For about a week now yum has tried and failed to update skypeforlinux: Packages skipped because of dependency problems: ??? skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 from skype-stable Processing Dependency: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.20)(64bit) for package: skypeforlinux-8.10.0.4-1.x86_64 Is there any resolution to this issue?

Though I've worked with enterprise systems, I'm not familiar with FOOS backup software. Which of those recommended would allow me to backup a system while users are active on it? If it matters the system uses LVM. I'd also like to be able to avoid needing the network if possible. That is, I'd plug in a disk into a USB port and backup the system onto that... again, while

It's half a nice Saturday later and many attempts have brought no satisfaction. Maybe this can't be done. I'm trying to write a function which, when called from one function execute in another. In itself, that's not the problem. Rather, there's one built-in variable which is evaluated in the function definition and it's value is then set (too early). Here's the one

One of the build options for a laptop I'm looking at buying is DVD vs Blu-Ray. I've never used Blue-ray before, so is there some compelling reason, as a Linux guy, to want to get Blu-ray?

When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get: ... --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed) ... But both of these are already installed: # rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp

Trying to update a second CentOS box, I'm getting this error repeatedly: [Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out I'm getting this on every mirror and have gone through the list of mirrors more than a dozen times. Oddly, the RPMs I'm trying to upgrade I upgraded just yesterday without a problem on another machine on the same LAN with no problems whatsoever. I can ping mirrors fine. There

Which is the best version of skype to install in CentOS 5.3? skype.i586 2.0.0.72-fc5 from the skype repo or skype 2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm from the 'skype for linux beta' downloads section of the skype website? Andy

An entire filesystem (~180g) needs to be copied from one local linux machine to another. Since both systems are on the same local subnet, there's no need for encryption. I've done this sort of thing before a few times in the past in different ways, but wanted to get input from others on what's worked best for them. One consideration is that the source filesystem contains quite a

I searched for libid3-3.8.so.3 with yum: # yum search \*libid3-3.8\* but it returns "No Matches found" Am I not searching correctly, or does this not exist in CentOS 5.7? tnx

Weird. There seems to be quite a bit of software missing from C7.2, gnome-applets being one of them. Or has it been moved or renamed or otherwise obscured? tia

pdftk used to be in a repo... or maybe it still is, but I don't know which one. Anyone know?

I have to admit though, after reading through the flatpak website about it, I still don't understand how it could overcome the dependency problem with the skypeforlinux
