Environment:
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 64-bit, Skype 2.1.0.47 (deb package downloaded from skype.com)
Problem:
test video is just a green screen.
Solution:
You need to use correct v4l1compat.so library.
az@az1:~$ locate v4l1compat.so
/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
Second one works ok for 64-bit linux. Try from shell:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype &
To make it permanent go to (using Gnome)
System > Preferences > Main Menu
and change properties of Skype shortcut to
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
