For all those running the Skype 2.0 Beta on Ubuntu Gutsy. Seems that having Nessus installed will screw up your Qt libraries: 505 cd /opt/nessus/lib/ 506 sudo mv libQtCore.so.4 libQtCore.so.old 507 sudo mv libQtGui.so.4 libQtGui.so.old 508 sudo mv libQtXml.so.4 libQtXml.so.old
Skype (or ebay) have been killing me for years now. I am a huge Skype user and always loved the video chat option. I have gone back and installed webcams for most of my family in order to keep track of everyone on my crazy travel days.

I preemptively booted my Ubuntu laptop and sure enough I was right, video support. After a quick download and install I had video chat on my Linux box. This of course initiated a victory dance.
