I think wire is not open-source/free eventually, is it? An interesting alternative to Skype/wire and so on is Signal. Versions available for Android, iPhone, Mac Desktop, Windows Desktop and Debian-based Linux:tony wrote:Hi Mike and Oscar,
thanks for your posts. I've just got skype back on tahr64 after using wire for a few months. I prefer wire but it's difficult to wean all your friends and relatives off skype.
We should regard ourselves as unwanted tenants and will probably be fighting Linux v m$ again soon.
Regards Tony.

Signal is made for you. As an Open Source project supported by grants and donations, Signal can put users first. There are no ads, no affiliate marketers, no creepy tracking. Just open technology for a fast, simple, and secure messaging experience. The way it should be.
That's quite odd as i just noticed the same in Slacko-6.3.2.rockedge wrote:...but I can not even see the Skype Test Call.

Fair do's, mate; much appreciated. I replaced Tahr 6.0.5 a while back with the newer 6.0.6; let's see what happens with watchdog's 'workaround' and your version 'fix'. (I even had audio and video-calling working properly in 605; I want to see if I can repeat it..!)CatDude wrote:@ Mike Walsh
Hello MikeJust the once mate.Mike Walsh wrote:Just a query, really. Does this code need to be applied every time you start Skype? Or do you just apply it the once?

skypeforlinux_8.17.76.3_amd64 does not work at all in fatdog64 721: it does not start and no errors I have found in log. skypeforlinux-64 stable release works with webcam too.

With skypeforlinux_8.17.76.3_amd64.deb
