Skype
 

I am using ubuntu 9.04. I downloaded and installed the Skype linux ver 2, Ubuntu 7.04 - 8.04 and finally got it to open. When I try to log in with my username and password I get a message that says, "Another Skype Instance May Exist". I've tried several different log ins and even tried to create a new account, no cigar! Is it the version of ubuntu, or have I missed something?
thanks in advance for your help,

I am using ubuntu 9.04 too and the same skype ver, and every thing works fine here

Hi Donnie,
It may be that you inadvertently opened two instances of skype. Here's what you can do:
1. close any running skype that you see.
2. Open a terminal and type:
3. If you get a response (something besides returning to the command prompt) which looks something like this then type
where nnnn=the number you'll see on the left margin (31626 in the example above).
4. Once you've done that try starting skype again and see if it works normally.
cheers,
