Since today, 14 Aug 2016, Skype can't connect from my Ubuntu 16.04 x64 installation. I've tried removing it and reinstalling it without success. I was able to use it 3 days ago.

Any suggestion?

I'm running kernel 4.7.

16.04

    Looks like the skype login servers are down. You might have some luck with the web client.

  2. Do you have the most-recent version of skype installed?

    • open Skype
    • click on "skype" (menu-entry)
    • About Skype
    • Skype (TM) Version 4.3.0.37

    If not let skype check for updates (menu-entry below the "about Skype"-entry)

  3. Try to log in via another account.

    E.g. if you were using an original skype account, use a windows-live account or vice-versa.
