[ubuntu-uk] Skype

[Anders Jacobsen]

Robin, as reported here:
http://share.skype.com/sites/linux/2007/06/skype_for_linux_14_beta.html
you can submit bugs here:
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL

Your big sounds like this one:
https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SCL-62

This means you have a Skype client already running that is locking the data
files.

When you click the Close button on the Skype client, it continues to run in
system tray. On systems without a system tray, this behaviour can be
unpredictable.

Try opening a console and typing "killall skype", if you don't get an error,
then the previous instance was killed and you can start it again.
