No disrespect intended in my previous posts, I applaud the dev team for what they done, I must have missed the paragraph that explicitly states you have to use a dedicated server install in order to use mod_skypopen. I hope that I can use gnome for the initiial config and build process then switch to run level 3 for normal use.. Not knowing that a server install was a requirement, I assumed I could basically use any distro and any desktop environment. FS works well with out skype mods in a desktop env, Maybe at some point in the future mod_skypopen will see advances to allow it to co-habitate and operate and any environment. Anyway, After a frustrating several weeks of F17 I chose Mint 13 as a long term stable (or soon to be) environment. I had no idea that there would be audio issues to deal with. Due power costs, I'm not overly excited about bringing another box online 24x7, after all I'm only running 1/2 dozen phone extensions and the primary server has more than enough resources to support the additional load. I just want to be able to use multiple skype accounts to support multiple user's extensions. So I'm electing to build a VM that will only run FS. As suggested I'm installing Centos 6.x (6.3 to be precise) I'll do a full install sans any media apps and just enough to set network parameters, a tftp server, and any dev tools to build FS. Once every thing is in place hopefully I can set Vbox to automatically boot and launch the centos vm with out any manual intervention. well see how that works out... eh? -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/Building-Skype-Issues-tp758162...
