Hi Charlie,
This laptop was bought in August 2008, but you are
right, it may be Wooby. Do you have Ubuntu running as the only Operating System
on your PC?
Thanks
James

woobi.

Hi Charlie,
Yes I only use this laptop. I am using it
with Wooby. I have found that the only way that I can get Skype to
appear in Pidgin is to install the libskype.so and skype4pidgin files.
I do not know waht is happening.
Thanks

Hi James...
It sounds like you are doing
everything correctly. Have you tried installing the skype
plugin on only one computer?

Hi Charlie and
Aruni,
Unfortunately I am still having
no joy with Skype.
Here is what I am doing from
what I can remeber as I am now using XP to send this
message.
1. I am opening Skype (It is
already installed) and entering my username and password and
pressing tab once then space - without sighted help I asume
this is the remember check box.
2. I am not sure whether or not
to login to skype, but I have then copied the libskype.so
shared library to /usr/lib/purple-2. I have done this before
logging in and afterwards. I then quit skype.
3. I then run Pidgin, but Skype
does not appear in the list of availible protocols. The only
way I have found to make this happen is if I install the
skype4pidgin.deb package, which brings up Skype and Skype D
Bus in the protocols. I have tried both of these with the
same result.
5. I have then done as you
suggested Aruni and selected no proxy in the relevant box.
However, when I navigate to the and press an arrow key in
the tree table of Pidgin everything just quits. - i
get no notification of Skype wanting to use this plugin,
although my dad did click the box saying remember this
selection yesterday.
I hope this helps and thank you
both so much for all your help with this issue.
Take care
james

James...
After you download skype
and enter your user name and password are you
quiting skype before you launch pidgin? After
placing libskype.so in /usr/lib/purple-2 and after entering your
user name and password into skype press alt F2
to bring up run application and type killall
skype to quite skype. Be sure to check the "sign me
in when skype starts" box before quitting skype.
Then launch pidgin and look for the skype protycol.
I might be way off base so I apologize if I am. I
hope you can figure this out. Good
luck.

Hi
folks,
Okay, I'm having some
real problems with Skype and Pidgin. I followed
the instructions on the work around
page.
After having
installed Skype, I copied the libskype.so shared
library to /usr/lib/purple-2 but Skype did not
appear in the list of availible accounts in
Pidgin. I found I had to install the
skype4pidgin.deb package and then Skype appeared
in the list along with something called Skype D
Bus.
I removed and
re-installed Pidgin to the latest version
which i think is 2.5.3, but I am still getting the
problem where Pidgin crashes when I try to
navigate the table of contacts.
What am I doing
wrong?
Any help would be
appreciated pleased. Not being able to use Skype
would be a major road block in my moving
over to Linux.
PS - My dad did the
sighted bit of clicking the button
Thank you for any and
all help
James
