I'm running Lucid 64-bit on the UL30VT (BIOS 210) - here's how I set
up skype. Note that this works with both the stock kernel
2.6.32-22-generic and also with 2.6.34-rc7. I've also tested it using
both the intel and nvidia cards.
1. Download and install Skype for Linux Beta

2. Add the 4l2ucp package (not sure this is necessary)
sudo apt-get install v4l2ucp
3. Add the libv4l-PPA, update package lists and install libv4l-0
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libv4l
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libv4l-0
4. Create shell-script to start Skype by opening the gedit Text Editor
and pasting the following inside:
#!/bin/bash
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l2convert.so skype
5. Save the file as "skype.sh" and give it executing rights with:
sudo chmod +x skype.sh
6. Start Skype by double-clicking on the script and selecting "run"
And that's it. I borrowed most of these instructions from
