Please excuse the sidetrack. I had to do a Skype-meeting yesterday evening. Some weirdness occurred. A background; Have two OEM:s, one at work, one at home. Same hardware, same OS - CentOS 7.4 x64, same repos and both fully updated, same software installed. I believe the chassis differ though(...). At work, the rpm from https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/, refused to install with the same errors as above regarding the libs. The Skype Flatpak from https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/com.skype.Client.flatpakref installed just fine and the test call showed no problems, so that's what I installed at home too. The Skype flatpak at home worked beautifully, that is to say for about ten minutes, then the sound (using a Koss SB/45 headset) it started crackling to the point of not being usable anymore. I hung up and reconnected, then sound was fine, for another ten minutes at which point the crackling returned. Checking the sound prefs, I saw that alsa on the app tab had two instances, one stable and one that blinked like crazy, like it was opening and closing a few times a second. On a hunch I downloaded the skype for linux rpm from the link above and installed it with yum. No lib errors! I started it and gave it a go, and - no crackling whatsoever. In fact it worked as good as it gets IMHO. Is there anything that could account for the problem I had? I read that the network bandwidth may be a problem, and that five Mbps at a minimum with video is the low mark. At work I sit on a 1 Gbps up/down network. At home I have 100 Mbps up/down. I have doubts that the network width was the problem. Are flatpaks known to cause odd problems at all? -- //Sorin
