I am trying to install and use Skype 4.3 in ubuntu 14.04 (I upgraded both recently). I kept gettign the "skype can't connect" error so I followed the instructions here to the letter:
This works for the first skype use, but when I quit skype and run it again, I get the same (4.2) screen with the same "skype can't connect" error.
I can bypass the error by deleting my .Skype directory, but I have to do this prior to every single skype run.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I don't understand why a 4.2 error message window would show up anymore. I purged 4.2 using apt-get autoremove and apt-get purge and so forth.
