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.
