@ Gradinaruvasile

Hi, I Installed Ghetto-Skype, however the camera doesn't work it is my fault or is it not available yet?

Found the answer:
Video calls do not work and you have to initiate the audio call (if they call you, it wants you to install plugin). I'm currently looking at options to get around this.
It's a pity I would really like removing the multi-architecture...

I will certainly celebrate the introduction of this insecure, spy laden, dirty coded, waste of HDD space software called Skype. There are so many other better ways to video conference. Skype is junk.
