Linux Mint 11 (32 bit): Logitech C210 webcam and skype

Logitech C210 works without any issues in cheese.
However to make it work in skype I needed to execute skype beta 2.2.0.35 through the following commandLD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skypeIf this does not work, than u can try to use:LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so /usr/bin/skype

If u don't already libv4l installed, than u can install it as follows: sudo apt-get install libv4l-0
