Hi Team,
In my system Skype installed version 1.0.0
after that I have been uninstalled the skype.
But, I am unable to uninstall the Skype Setup Launcher and while it is removing from the Add or remove it gets an error ” This action is only valid for products that are currently installed”.
And also I am trying to change but same error is showing.
After that I have been downloaded the skype setup launcher 1.0.0 version, it is not support to install in my system.

The problem in my system is, there is less space in my hard disk and it is taking 4095.00MB.

Could you please help me to uninstall the skype setup launcher ver 1.0.0 from system.
Thanks in advance.

I have been using Skype 2.0 in my new machine since May and it works great. No popping sounds or anything annoying, I needed to do some tweaking but since then it is working fine. I am using pulse for sound out and for ringing, so I am a little bit concerned with the not using pulse anymore. I got a cheap webcam $9 and it works great. I may give this one a try.

Using PulseAudio it is now not possible to have output and ringing sent to different devices (I have a USB phone) . I can use PulseAudio Volume Control to get Skype to use the phone for input and output, but can’t get ringing in sent to speakers so I can’t hear when people call me. Minor glitch, but very annoying.

“Also, I just switched from Fedora 11, but alas no download for Fedora 11 either.”

The download page (see your screenshot) does say, e.g. “Fedora 10+” and “Ubuntu 8.10+”

Great article but Garrett looks retarded in your first screen capture for calling long distance. One wouldn’t know Garrett is on the Dean’s List.
