I've had some spare time lately and have been working on getting Ubuntu MATE working to my satisfaction on a second machine I got months ago at ENU (RIP). I am required by the company I do work for to have Skype running. On my old machine, running Ubuntu 14,04, I have Skype 4.3. It still works just fine, although I don't know if that will continue. On the new machine, I had Skype for Linux beta installed. When I tried to run it today a window popped up apologizing that it was no longer supported. It had a link to a page that only provided the same version.
In frustration, I tried to install the Windows version of Skype on my virtual Win7. It only gets as far as a page requiring that I enter my birthday. There's no opt out available. I have a philosophical aversion to companies requiring personal information that I don't think they need, and don't want to give them. Anyone else using Skype and running into restrictions? -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
