Can't sign in. Ubuntu 12.04

[ Edited ]

I am trying to sign into Skype 4.0, and it just says "sign in failed" and doesn't give a reason. I am 100% positive that my username and password are correct.

Please use plain text.

The other topic http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-Crashes-on-Ubuntu-12-04-LTS-upon-sign-in/m-p/844900 has a more detailed description about this.

This worked for me:

 

1. delete <home_dir>/.Skype

2. restart skype and login.
