Vanilla & Chocolate Kernels

[oldtopman]

I installed iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6). The only things I've changed are a kext for wifi and com.apple.boot.plist. I ran system update once, then remembered that I shouldn't and quit without clicking the update button. The patches outlined here I installed.

I need 10.5.8 to run skype. I've heard that you can update to 10.5.8 just fine if you have a vanilla kernel (is this true, do i have one, can i get one) and if I have some other flavor or whatnot how do I update (I have all the 10.5.x updates downloaded to my other computer (.dmg file or whatever type they are).

Open Terminal and type uname -a, post the output here.

 

If you're not running the vanilla kernel, you can prepare for an update like this:

I run Skype at least once a week on my Hack running iPC 10.5.6.

Are you sure you need 10.5.8?

I use skype 2.8.0.851 and when I call skype test it "crashes unexpectedly". Is there one that works on 10.5.6

[michael.su]

I am running Skype version 2.8.0.722 at the moment.

USB sound adapter and an Agent V3 webcam. Video conferencing and everything works great.

are you using a webcam or is the sound crashing Skype before you even turn your camera on?

[oldtopman]

Ahhhh. It was because of this problem (almost fixed hinthint beerkex'd). Apparently the call crashes if my webcam isn't plugged in i'll try this.
