skype stoped working!!!
 

so yesterday i loged into skype.after login,it showed contacts,then aborted.tried a number of times with the same result.so i rebooted...nothing.uninstalled reinstalled same thing.the only app installed since using skye was the new sip client in garage.but gizmo works fine,go figure.any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated,since i just purchased skype out..and it has been working flawlessly untill this point.

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

It is probably a bug in the new sip client. Report the bug in bugzilla and uninstall the SIP client since it is beta software.

thanks for the quick reply, i forgot to say the last thing i did was to uninstall all the sip packages and still nothing changed.

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

I have the new sip packages installed and am having no problems with Skype. Today anyways.

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

well besides installing sip beata.i just updated packages in repository that needed updating. thats it..skype worked perfectly up untill i tried yesterday.

Haven't had that problem on the N800, but on the Linux desktop I had something similar with a Skype upgrade. You could try this:
- Start xterm
- Enter: mv .Skype .Skype.old
(Note spelling: ".Skype" with a starting ".")
- Try starting Skype. You will have to enter your account and password again.

Thanks for your replys,i was trying to fix this last night and came across some files i installed. then remembered , i installe the new mozzila web plug in. (mebo package, i thInk) and was in redpill mode when i updated packages in app manager. im completely new at this so im just trying to think of every thing i've done up untill this point. i apologise if i excluded this info in my original post. now im positive this is all that i've done since skype breaking. so am i on the right path? could this have caused this to happen?
p.s the x term comands suggested did nothing.

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

Congrats. You just discovered why end users should not be using red pill mode. You updated a library or program that Skype depends upon, therefore breaking it.

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

yes i learned that lesson. now can it be fixed?

Re: skype stoped working!!!
 

Reflash and reinstall.

(IMO red pill mode should only be used if one is familiar with the debian package system and the use of dpkg and apt-get command line tools, and how to force-downgrade, how to fix dependency problems manually and so on. Even though I am very familiar with these concepts I haven't had my N800 in red pill mode at all (except once, for a test). There's just no need to, IMO.)
