I just woke up, so this may not be the best thought out advice, but:

A quick google of "synaptics touchpad debian" led me to http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad which shows that packages.debian.org/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is something you need -- can you check if you've accidentally deleted it?

I get the jumping around mouse thing too (I have a Thinkpad X220), I think it's because my palm brushes against the touchpad. Disabling tap to click with gpointing-device-settings (if I recall correctly) makes it less annoying when I do it, but if you find a better fix, I'd be interested.

Why don't you try

vi ~/.config/fbpanel/default

or:

cd ~/.config/fbpanel
vi default

/default and default are two completely different things. I believe the file you're trying to open is located at ~/.config/fbpanel/default, and not at /default.

I tried to go through Skype's help and support yesterday -- after a chat with someone online who seemed like they were reading through a script, they said they would have to escalate me to a higher level of support, and asked for my email address. I haven't heard anything since then.

I will try running Skype as root later today when someone I can talk to is online, although I don't have high hopes for it.

Thanks for all of your help! It's too bad that Skype doesn't seem to really be supporting Linux anymore. I'd just use Ekiga, but it doesn't appear to have an iOS app... sad

Running Skype 2.2 from the terminal, I get this error, immediately upon startup, and no others:

I tried (uninstalling Skype 2.2 with dpkg -r and then) installing Skype 2.1 from download.skype.com/linux/skype-debian_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb (which I found by googling "skype 2.1 linux" and reading a forum post -- please let me know if there's a better way to get old versions of Skype)

I get the same error as above, but instead of 2653 it says 3019. Skype 2.1 doesn't show me video of myself (although the person I'm talking to can see it); I think it displays the video of me behind the picture of the other person. When the person I'm talking to turns on their video, X doesn't do weird things, but I can't see their video.

From that error, I guessed that I needed a 32 bit version of gtk2. But Synaptic says I already have ia32-libs-gtk installed. Is there a way to force a program to use a certain version of a library?

Also, I got the impression from forum posts I'd read that lib32v4l was for if /your/ video wasn't working. I think my problem is with displaying /other people's/ video. But I'll try it anyway.

EDIT 12:20pm EDT:
Same results, slightly different error messages with v4l.

With Skype 2.1 32bit:
same as above, with 3140 instead of the other four digit numbers.

With Skype 2.2 64bit (which I've read is actually the same as 32bit but packaged so you don't have to --force-architecture to get it to install)

drmoris - Yes, that is what I did. My screen was called "default" by xrandr.
(I'm concerned that if I tried connecting my computer to a second monitor in the non-backport kernel it wouldn't have worked -- I sometimes borrow a monitor from a school computer when I'm in the computer lab and connect it to my laptop, and in the backport kernel my laptop screen is LVDS1 and the external screen is VGA1)
Also, when I booted into the non-backport kernel to try rerunning the commands you have listed, my wlan0 device didn't show up, and so I couldn't connect to the internet (since I'm in the library now, and the only place I have an ethernet port is my dorm room). I'm starting to think that there are more problems with the non-backport kernel on my computer than it's worth to have Skype.

Here's the output of those commands in the non-backport kernel:

EDIT 11:00am EDT: I also tried installing Skype in the backport kernel via Wine. After getting a warning that I needed a 32bit version of a library to connect to the internet with Wine and subsequently installing the library, I get this error message when running SkypeSetup.exe: "We are having problems connecting to the download server. To download an alternative installer for Skype, click the "Download" button." Clicking the "Download" button does nothing.

Anakin -- I didn't actually check the size of the DVD, just went on Wikipedia and saw that DVDs could be up to 4.7GB. Thanks for pointing that out, although it doesn't look like I'll have to try Mint.

drmoris -- I tried running the older kernel, and my display has gone back to 1024x768 as the only available resolution, but Skype works. (at first I thought sound didn't work, but it turns out that the microphone was just turned down a lot)
HOWEVER
I tried following the directions at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-di … randr.html for getting xrandr to display the correct resolution, as per the link that suggested my multimedia problems were with the new kernel. It doesn't change the resolution, just flashes the screen once, and I get this error:

$ xrandr --output default --mode 1368x768_60.00
xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed

I also tried running the same/latest version of Skype in Arch. Both screen resolution and video calling in Skype work fine in Arch under kernel 3.3.3-1, immediately after updating the system . (unfortunately, wireless internet doesn't seem to work in Arch... that's why I installed #!)

Note that these tests were done with me initiating the call to a computer. It shouldn't make a difference, but I'm trying to explain to my father how to install Skype on his iPad so I can test that...

Next I'm going to boot into the backport kernel and see if youtube works, and maybe try installing 32 bit skype and seeing if that works.

I really appreciate everyone's replies! Thanks for your help!

EDIT 9:35pm EDT: Youtube/Flash works in backport kernel. Audio only calls work in backport kernel. 64bit Skype still exhibits the same problems with video.

EDIT 9:50pm EDT: I uninstalled Skype and installed 32bit Skype with dpkg --force-architecture on the version downloaded from Skype's website. The screen doesn't flash but the other person's video doesn't show up.

On this computer, the only other distro I've used is Arch. I have Skype installed on it, but I don't remember ever using it for anything other than text chatting. I'll boot into that, update it, and try a video call there and see if it gives the same or different results.
I don't have much room left on my hard drive, as it's an SSD and I have three operating systems on it already, but if there are any distros I can make a live USB of that have Skype by default, I'd also be willing to try them. (it looks like Linux Mint does, but it's a DVD and I only have a 4GB USB stick and I think DVDs take up more space than that? I don't have a DVD drive.)

I read through that thread, and it seemed like their problem was solved by switching to the backport kernel and Xorg? I already have the backport kernel. Before I try switching to a newer Xorg, I want to try it in Arch, because Arch should already have a newer Xorg.

I have to go to class now, but later today I'll try using Skype in Arch and post the output of those commands.

Thanks!

Yes, I have an integrated webcam, it shows up in the Skype settings as /dev/video0 and as the only camera option. When I click "test" in the settings it displays my video and doesn't do anything weird.

I'm sure I have the Debian 64-bit version, since I didn't delete the .deb file from my downloads yet, and it has both "debian" and "amd64" in the name.

I'm not sure that my family's settings are fine, never having checked them myself, but calling them does work in Windows. Also, I'm away at college for a few more weeks, so I can't look at their physical devices to check the settings until at least mid-May.

I looked at the link and added a "Logs" folder like it suggested. I'll try calling someone once I save everything I'm working on and report back.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT (8pm EDT):
Reproduced the problem when video calling a Windows computer. Other things I noticed:
-my mouse still moved when the screen was frozen, it was just that the windows didn't respond
-when the screen flashed/updated, it would flash black + one other random color quickly. (not just green as I said in original post)
-when the person I was talking to (who had no problems, could see both me and herself) ended the call, my computer returned to normal behavior without restarting anything.

EDIT(8:15pm EDT):
The person I was calling restarted their computer and they tried calling me. The screen flashed once or twice, and then I could use it again and it stopped flashing. The window which had our video call showed a distorted picture of me in the bottom corner and a copy of whatever had been on the screen before that window was last maximized. Which is better than leaving me helpless until the end of the call or forcing me to restart X, but still not ideal.

I am using kernel 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-amd64, I just installed #! this weekend and had to install the backport kernel for my integrated graphics to show the correct resolution. The rest of my packages should be stable, as far as I know. If the backport kernel means that I am no longer in stable and this should be moved to testing, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong place! I don't really understand the distinction between backport and stable and testing, if there is one.

I have family members and friends who use Skype with an iPad and expect me to video call them, so I had to install Skype. To do this, I (read the instructions on Debian's wiki and) downloaded the 64-bit version from Skype's website and double clicked it in Thunar to install. It seems to work fine with text chatting.
Skype says its version is 2.2.0.35.

Today, someone tried to video call me (from an iPad). They say they could see and hear me fine. This is what happened on my end:
-I couldn't see their video, but I could hear them fine
-every five seconds or so, the screen would flash black and a little greenish
-then it would show an updated version of the screen (I could tell it was updated because call time changed)
-this screen would not update until it flashed black again

Since the call was important and I didn't have time to try and fix it then, I ctrl-alt-f1'ed into a console and rebooted into Windows from that so I could use Skype there.
I haven't duplicated the error yet, because most of my friends and family are offline -- I'll try again after class today.

Searching Debian forums/wiki/etc, I only find things like "Skype 64-bit is buggy and we can't do anything about it." I understand if that's the case, but I'm hopeful that someone here will read this and say something like "oh, you're just missing a library, install that and you'll be fine!"

Thanks in advance for any help! I really like #! so far, I'm used to Arch with Openbox and tint2 and it looks similar but is as convenient as Windows.
