When you start Skype do you get a Skype for Linux Sign In window? I get one with a title bar that says "Skype(TM) 4.3 for Linux" on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm give the option to sign in with a Skype Name, or a Microsoft account. I don't have a Microsoft account so I select Skype Name, after which the window changes. It shows my Skype Name, and has a line for my password. Under those two is a button labeled "Sign in" and under that a link that says, "Can't access your account?" I'm never asked for a browser. -- Regards, Dick Steffens _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
