PS: I need skype capability, not some other substitute service. Has anyone an idea how to concretely make this a reality?Īny other ideas? Linux version 2.6.31.13-desktop-1mnb (gcc version 4.4.1 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Tue Apr 27 20:37: I thought immediately that one could possibly spoof version 4.3.0.37 making the server think I'm running this client and hence let me connect. Or what is the mechanism here and can we circumvent it somehow? I suspect the server reads out the version of the skype client I'm running and then it refuses connection. I then tried creating another user and ran skype from that. So since yesterday I get an error message when I try to log in: server connection failed.Ĭuriously, I briefly ran skype as root and then I could log in again, but not any longer. Don't want to install a vmware machine either. I like this system since it's running smoothly, don't want to change it just for skype. Since I'm using an old Mandriva distribution (1) the last version that worked for me was 2.2.0.25 (2). That's too bad because I'm needing skype for work badly. Microsoft has apparently decided to terminate the skype service for older versions (before current 4.3.0.37).
