Microsoft blocked the old version, 4.3 works fine on my 64 machine, just tried a test call and it works properly. I use the version from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:XRevan86:non-free/skype
I installed this version and all seems to be well now.
I was concerned that they were going to make it weird or harder to use somehow as they have consistently been doing with the Windows versions. I like the UI on the current Linux version much better than that on the Windows versions. It seems to have stayed basically the same as the prev version.
Thanks for the help!

I just refuse to use any part of Skype anymore. They have totally backdoored it and I see no reason to reward then for that by attracting any users to the product. I've been using the Venum Tox client ( tox.im ), which lacks the directory services in its early current state, but otherwise handles texts, voice and video (untested by me) and file transfer, completely encrypted, end-to-end, and directly p2p. I've toxed text and toxed talks (say that three times fast) to friends in Europe and it worked quite will. These guys intend to go after Skype and beat them with their own stick. Linux, Windows, and Android clients all work. (But the android is a little sparse). I have very little use for this, since most of my foreign contacts just call me on sip. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
