Guys, Skype is owned by Microsoft, and the Linux version hasn't been touched in like 2 years. I'm frankly not surprised it's b0rked.
So... yes, the user should use software that isn't deprecating support for their platform.
- mindstab 13y agoThey are releasing steady updates for it. 4.1 came out Nov 2012. That's hardly 2 years. That's after the last Ubuntu release. And it's fully supported for the platform. What are you talking about?
- jayferd 13y agoWell that's news to me. The last I looked was before November, I guess, and before that it still had the same old crufty UI from like 5 years ago. The userbase had been pretty up-in-arms about it for a while too: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Vote-here-for-linux-skype-update/m-p/767998#M1548 http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Vote-here-for-linux-skyp... Edit: also, they're still sitting on version 5, which introduced group video calling. It's a pretty sad situation overall.
- jebblue 13y agoMuch as I can't stand to say something nice about Microsoft, the Skype updates at least on Ubuntu 12.04 have worked fine.
