changelog ?

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

i tried to install the new version, but it shows the old version number after the install.

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

Yeah.. For me it sayed Skype already installed.. :)

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

Same problem... guess it´s a problem of the app manager...

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

or you can install directly from here

Does it support video calls yet?

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

Actually that's v.1.7.62.51.1...

And my N800 can't install them (it shows me the "non-compatible file" with some of them)

BUT the "good news" are that in the description details now you can read the "visit http://www.nokia.com/n810/support" and right afterwards:

+ "OR www.nokia.com/n800/support for N800 devices" so I guess we won't have the "Welcome to Skype thru your N810!" welcome message...:rolleyes:

Quick update: I installed the *.51.1 version available from the Nokia repo and it worked just fine except it's still without video. Oh well...

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

I get the incompatible files error when I try to install *.51.1. Anyone know why? I'm certainly in no hurry as the other version works fine.

same problem here incompatibility with hildonfm2 and hildonmime0

Re: New Skype v.1.7.62.49.1 (released 19 Dec)
 

Has anyone found a fix for the libhildonfm2 and libhildonmime problem? I have changed the maemo repos from repository.maemo.org to repostory.maemo.org as I read in a few places and that didn't help. It allowed me to install python finally, but Skype continues to be a pain.

For the record, it's trying to install 1.7.62.51.1 in the application manager.

EDIT: To add insult to injury, when I use "Red Pill Mode" and check to see what's already installed, libhildonfm2 1:1.9.46 and libhildonmime0 1.10.0-1 are installed. Skype wants versions 1:1.9.49 and 1.10.1. What's going on here?! I saw 1 other post from a person with this problem and they fixed it without really saying how. All I want to do is play with Skype with the friend of mine that got an N800; he got his to install, what am I doing wrong?!

EDIT2: I think I may have solved my problem; I'm pretty sure I'm still running OS2008 Beta. Going to try an upgrade and check back in.

EDIT3: Yup, that did it. Seems the software from the OS2008-beta is a little outdated compared to the official release. Skype, running. Oddly enough, it didn't install from the repo though (claimed it was corrupted), I had to download it from Skype's page. In any event, hope my oversights help others!
