[Bug 788573] Re: Skype won't start
Trashing the .Skype folder was a little too much for me as it contains too much
value :-)
So I renamed it ".Skype_old", restarted Skype from the command line (it works
but throws the same errors as above). The newly created .Skype folder contains
two sub-folders ("shared_dynco" and "shared_httpfe") as well as two files
("shared.lck" and "shared.xml"). I copied over my user folder from the
.Skype_old backup, and everything works fine it seems. I only needed to enter
the password again on restart.
I assume that some kind of re-write of the "shared.XYZ" files and folders helps
get you running again if you have this problem.
