Dick, There's a Skype sign in dialog; don't know that it's specific for linux. Skype was installed using the build script from SlackBuilds.org so it's obviously meant for use on linux. > I get one with a title bar that says "Skype(TM) 4.3 for Linux" on Ubuntu > 12.04. Haven't noticed what's on the title; just the username and password, and the small link for those who have trouble connecting. > I'm give the option to sign in with a Skype Name, or a Microsoft account.

Well, here there's a dialog box asking for the skype name and password (and the useless M$ login). After clicking on the "Sign in" button a bar across the top of the skype window reads that it cannot connect. After clicking the "Can't access your account?" link the message about not finding the correct browser displays. Why skype wants a browser makes no sense, but that's what it displays. There's no other clue as to what is wrong when I follow the account access link.
