Skype

When I updated skype from 1.3 to 1.4 in my kubuntu feisty system, when I tried to login it returned "Database Failure" error.

Well after some serious search I found out that if you delete the profile folder from your home and start skype the error is solved.

I had a problem with my skype in Kubuntu. It stopped recording, which means that the other person in the call didn't hear my voice.

After endless searching over the net, and installing and uninstalling Skype, I read somewhere in the skype forum that if you start skype as a superuser that the problem does not occur anymore. I tried it and until know, after 1 hour and 28 minutes of call the mic didn't stop.

So if you have this problem too try:

#sudo skype

in your console
