I have been using Skype for a few weeks now and it has been working quite well, but recently my system has hit a problem.
This Suse 9.2 machine is shared by two people, and so, has two user accounts on it. Both of us use Skype, but Skype has stopped working on my user login but it does work on the other log-in. When using my log-in, if I try to dial out I get the message that Skype is 'Connecting ...' but never quite fullfils that promise. The application then will not close nicely. The 'Disconnect' button doesn't achieve anything and I have to kill Skype manually.
This happens for all of the Skype accounts that I've tried. Conversely, when I use the another log-in all works, for all Skype user accounts. So, I conclude, there must be some sort of corruption in my /home/colin directory.
Try deleting/renaming the .skype dir. I had a problem earlier and that fixed my problem. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
