Dear Colleagues,
I'm writing to you after being suggested to do so on your official IRC channel
on freenode.
I'm looking for someone who could be able to fix a problem for my mother, who
is not a very tech-oriented person. The problem is not too difficult (few
dependencies, fixing sources.list... something I could fix myself), however,
I'm out of the country doing research, I have no ssh into the machine and I'm
not able to come to Phoenix right at this time.
The box: Ubuntu Linux 14.04 64bit (as far as I remember); new HP laptop, Wifi
is primary internet connection; MATE desktop (Unity installed, though), I'm
certain no hardware or network issues.
The problem: Skype. As you all know, Microsoft axed all old skype clients, so
they're unable to connect.
What needs to be done: Uninstall old skype, install new skype (4.3) and fix the
missing dependencies (we did "apt-get autoremove" over the phone, which killed
many dependencies, so now Ubuntu Software Center or even CLI complain about
broken packages, missing dependencies - especially libq4-webkit and some
package incompatibilities).
The quirk: I think I installed the system with Polish as default language - I
would suggest installing English language pack first if you feel lost or don't
want to use Google Translate. (But please do not uninstall Polish, my mother
feels much more comfortable using the computer in her native language).
She lives in Surprise, AZ. Please let me know your estimate for the job, we
would like to compensate you for the job.
Thanks a bunch! Ask questions freely.
Pawel
