It is neverending loop, if your script is calling himself. The right comandis this: #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype.real Bye ! Nice joke PWESTBRO !

For example, sudo mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/skype.real cat > /usr/bin/skype <<EOF #!/bin/bash LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv41/vl1compat.so skype EOF sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/skype What I did was rename the skype binary, and then replace create a script with the old name.

For example,

sudo mv /usr/bin/skype /usr/bin/skype.real
cat > /usr/bin/skype < #!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv41/vl1compat.so skype
EOF
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/skype

I'm totally new to the linux world. After my XP packed up, I just decided to give it a whirl, but I need Skype to talk to my parents and others who are unliklely to use anything else. So, I'm on Kubuntu 9.10 which I really, really like, but only just beginning to work out how to use. The LD_PRELOAD from the command line worked nicely (Quickcam connect). But , if you have time could you possibly indicate (for an absolute beginner) what it is I'd need to edit so I don't have to use the command line every time to open Skype? Many thanks Matt Hi,
