Bug 23106

@ Kristoffer
Peter filed this bug against Mageia 6, he only added that skypeforlinux doesn't work at all in 5, after saying "But it's perhaps a bug of mageia6 (voip problem)" ;-)

@ Peter, do you see any errors in a terminal/konsole after having started skypeforlinux from it and then tried to make a connection?

And if you start, as root, 

     journalctl -f

and then try to establish a connection, do you maybe see a(nother) relevant error there?

@ AL13N

CC'ing you, because I remember you've been doing things with voip. I have no idea how to find out whether there's a problem with voip in Mageia and I hope you'll read this & have time to help.

@ sander85

Or, since you maintained get-skype in the past, maybe you can help find out whether there's a bug in _Mageia_ that affects skypeforlinux?

no problem when opening skype in a terminal, skypeforlinux normally opens
but I looked at this problem with google on the web, and it seems that other people, not necessarily with linux, have the same problem, as:

who meets the same problem with Mac OS and (he says) a very fast internet.
it seems it's a typically skype problem
I have no router but an internet box, no proxy, no firewall,...

following the advise in:

I have uninstalled skype, rebooted my system and reinstall skype, but the bug is not yet fixed
since Skype is a Microsoft product, I think the best way to use it is with Windows

Thanks for the feedback!

And none of our Mumble (a VOIP application of which I'm sure it's used) users reported a similar issue as yours.

So, there's no longer a reason to believe that there's a problem with VOIP in Mageia. Closing.

Resolution: (none) => INVALID
Status: NEW => RESOLVED

I have installed an old version of skypeforlinux: get-skypeforlinux-8.18.0.6-1
I have found on the rosa's site, and it seems to work; I recall that rosa is a russian fork of mandriva

If 8.18 works and 8.22 don't then the issue is in 8.22 not in mageia

Indeed.

Besides, two of our developers told me today that Skype uses its _own_ protocol instead of an open source protocol for VoIP like SIP, so 8.22 not working cannot be caused by a flaw in a Mageia VoIP package.

I totally agree with you all the more so I tried today the last version of web.skype encapsulated in chrome browser, and it works very well
I think it's the best solution to use skype: open chrome browser and type web skype in google, and skype opens; you can save it in your bookmarks; I expect soon to receive news from the technical squad of skype, and I let you inform

bug fixed with the new version skypeforlinux-8.24.0.2-1
