  Skype 2.0 is working with the web cam integrated in my HP laptop! under KUbuntu Gutsy, even! This was enough of a chore I wanted to document it for the search engines.

First, I followed the instructions

.

Then sound wasn't working, and

fixed it.

Then I had a weird issue where the other person couldn't hear me, but I could hear them. Dicking with KMix didn't help, but after I opened alsamixer at the command line and fiddled around, it was fine!

It basically worked out of the box!
