Fedora: Skype Issue: libXv.so.1: cannot open

If you try to run skype and get the following error
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open

$>sudo yum install alsa-lib.i686 libXv.i686 libXScrnSaver.i686 qt.i686 qt-x11.i686

TIP:Lenovo Thinkpad W520 Fedora 16 Internal Mic Not Working

Solution as mentioned in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=752610 is


$ sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/dist-alsa.conf

Add as the first line.
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

Then reboot and you should be good to go.


If you are keen on seeing what my file looks like:

# ALSA Sound Support
#
# We want to ensure that snd-seq is always loaded for those who want to use
# the sequencer interface, but we can't do this automatically through udev # at the moment...so we have this rule (just for the moment).
#
# Remove the following line if you don't want the sequencer.

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq

Package skype-2.1.0.81-fc.i586.rpm is not signed

Workaround:
/etc/yum.repos.d$ sudo mv skype.repo skype.repo.bak

Update:
$> sudo yum update

Putback:
/etc/yum.repos.d$ sudo mv skype.repo.bak skype.repo
