On a recent upgrade to Ubuntu Interpid (8.10), Skype 2.0 stopped working. Let us fix this issue and get back to our calls.
$ sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install pulseaudio ubuntu-desktop
Great! Run skype and test if everything works.

Thanx!!! Worked like a charm!!!
hey man! havent seen you on gtalk for quite a while.. what have u been upto?
I had the skype problem as well after upgrading to Intrepid (8.10). Your solution may work, but it's basically ripping out the PulseAudio sound server; why would you want to upgrade, and then remove some of the upgrade features?
So I looked around some more, and found this:

After following those steps, which are just configuration steps, my skype is working again, and I got to keep the PulseAudio sound server.
I am a novice to ubuntu and linux thing; so i dont know at all what this audio pulsing is for. But after entering the commands i can use skype.
Thanks
