I recently set up an Ubuntu 9.10 machine for a customer that wanted to use it for Skype, Web and Email. In my experience Ubuntu is a great desktop in these instances.
This time however I hit a real speed bump with the Video in Skype. Every time the user tried to initiate a Video call Skype would close. This is strange because I have used it before with no problem.
The solution is to turn off video calls by default in the Skype settings, wait for the other person to initiate a video call, click on the video camera icon at the bottom of the picture, set the screen to double size and then turn on your video through the same menu. Not ideal I agree but good enough.
