I installed the .deb provided upstream at http://eion.robbmob.com/ and it works (note that the upstream package is called skype4pidgin).
As far as I can understand pidgin-skype in lucid (version 20100121+dfsg-1) was derived from upstream on January 21st, 2010 and the last upstream release, as per http://eion.robbmob.com/CHANGELOG.txt, was later than that. The upstream changelog doesn't show nothing relevant to the current problem, though "crash on connect bugs" where fixed just on January 21st so I wonder whether they got into lucid or not. Anyway if you remove lucid's pidgin-skype and install skype4pidgin (and, at least for Empathy, check "Reject all auths" in the account configuration) it works. -- pidgin-skype doesn't work in lucid "No reason specified" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551164 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
