I am having this problem as well with an old Dell notebook running Xubuntu 12.04.
'lspci' output: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02) This only seems to happen with the latest version of Skype (4.2.0.11-1). Installing an older version of Skype (2.2.0.35-1) solved the problem (although it introduced some others). The webcam is a Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000 connected via USB if that helps at all. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1078068 Title: Video blinking blue during incoming call To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/1078068/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
