I'm running SuSE 10 with
Skype v1.2.0.18


when I call and then hang up.. I try a second call and I get a "Call Failed" message.. what the heck is that about???????????

The good old well-known bug and we're still waitning for a fix.

You'll have to restart Skype.

I have not seen the problem since I removed /usr/share/skype/sound/hangup.wav

I agree. This worked for me, too. Apparently it's a stupid bug.

You'd think that they'd fix this thing. After all, we've had this same Linux client for some time now.

(Skype on AMD64 dual core with Gentoo)

I don't guarantee this will work for everyone, but I followed numerous posts and this is what finally solved it. I noticed this by chance, when I realized that I no longer heard _any_ of the usual ringing, hangup, or busy noises that I used to get when I made a Skype call. Verify this by using xine or mplayer to play your sound files. When I tried, I got nothing...no tones at all. I tried the post about "mv hangup16.wav hangup.wav; sox..." etc., and it still didn't help.

But to fix it all I did was take the _entire_ sound directory from an old version of Skype I had on a legacy machine and pop that into my current /usr/share/skype/sound directory...replacing each file. I noticed also that the sound files of the legacy version played fine in xine or mplayer. (Actually, you could probably use ANY working .wav file...it wouldn't have to be official Skype tones.)

Now it works fine. It's unbelievable that Skype can't fix this problem.

If someone could post their working .wav files that would help others solve the problem. Here's a line by line for newbies:

Type:

cd /usr/share/skype/sound
su
(enter your root password)
cp /the/location/where/your/new/wav/files/are/*.wav .
(note the period at the very end of that line...that's important)
(Type "yes" if it asks you if you want to replace each file)
exit

You should be set. Restart Skype...I hope it works. That's what did it for me.

AS I have mentioned earlier in Skype under UHU linux works well topic, there's an unofficial UHU linux package at:

http://uhu.linux.hu/1.2/sari.gabor/shntool....3-1.2_i386.uhu

It's a normal deb file, just renamed. Decompress it to the right folders and you're set. It works for me, no problems at all.
