Hi folks,
I am stil having real trouble getting Skype to work
on Ubuntu 8.10. I have not had a chance to try the Live CD option that Charlie
suggested yet, as I need to bur a new copy. I will do this, but I can't imagine
that the computer is the cause because it is not even a year old. So
here's the problem.
The Skype option does not seem to appear in Pidgin
unless I install the Skype4pidgin.deb file - if I only install the libskype.so
file it does not appear. So with skype4pidgin.deb installed I get a Skype option
and a Skype D bus option - what is this please? When I set up my skype account,
and I try to navigate the table with the contacts in - I know how many tab
presses to make to accept the plugin, Pidgin just disappears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no
problem keeping Windows to use Skype, but it would be nice to have the
choice.
Thanks
james
