Hello Everyone, I've been traveling and am currently in Ecuador. Back home my wife and children have been using a laptop running Ubuntu Linux and Skype to keep in touch with me. Unfortunately there was an update or something and now skype is no longer working on the machine at home. We're still in touch via email, but without voice & video working, it's just not the same.
I really don't know enough about Skype on Linux to figure this one out. She's able to login, but she can't see her contacts, initiate or recieve calls etc and when she's on it shows her as still offline on my Skype here. She says it's like part of the UI is missing or something. I don't believe it's a firewall or network issue because it WAS working up until a few days ago. I can't remote into the box from here and poke around otherwise I would probably just do an RDP session and get it done. My guess is it's something simple, but for the life of me I can't think what the problem might be. I've already tried walking her through an uninstall & reinstall. To the best of my knowledge the system is up to date with the most current updates. Is anyone willing to try their hand at it and see what's up? They can travel to you as long as you are in the Salt Lake or Utah County areas. Thanks in advance! /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
