[Bug 788573] [NEW] Skype won't start

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: skype

Skype started fine when I logged on this morning, but then it crashed
mid-chat-conversation, and now it won't start again.

I'm not sure if the crash is important - it does that, but perhaps the
reason it won't start is related to an update? I have security updates
install silently in the background, so I'm not sure. Installing all
outstanding updates and rebooting does not clear to problem.

I'm running 11.04.

When I try to run skype from the command line I get this output:
