1. Went to online accounts window, started call with echo123 (always online) Error message box with title "Skype" and message "org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error.Disconnected: Channel aborted" 2. On the online account window, entered my own skype number (with the +1 because skype does not like it any other way). Error banner "Unable to establish connection". After this, I went to the call log. There was an entry for the phone call I just attempted to make. Clicked it, and made the call through the call log window. After about 20 seconds, I got the call on my desktop skype.
