Yes, that's for 12.1. I am on 13.1. When I am selecting 12.1 from the *distribution dropdown*, nothing is happening. -- ================ Regards, Arup Rakshit -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Those are all simply libraries and plugins for other packages that have some skype interoperability (mostly with instant message capabilities of skype). Skype itself isn't on OpenSuse's repositories, it is a proprietary package. To load skype itself, go here: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Something is broken on the Skype website. Just hit the download for 12.1 again and it'll start. C. -- openSUSE 13.1 x86_64, KDE 4.13 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It works fine for me with Chrome. I suspect you have something else turned off in chrome. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
