 |
|
Should this be reported as a bug?
Skype would not run after an upgrade from 1.3.0.30-r1 to 1.3.0.53-r1 - An error window came up reading
| Quote: | Skype has experienced a database error.
This is because another instance of Skype is already running or your ~/.Skype files are corrupt or have incorrect permissions.
Skype will now exit |
A file <user1024.dbb> had either been altered or placed in the ~/.Skype/my_skypename/ folder. This file had root permissions.
The problem was easily solved with
| Code: | | # chown myname:users .Skype/my_skypename/user1024.dbb |
EDIT I wrote this too soon. Skype will start but will not work. I have contacted Skype support about it. |
