A few hints requested?

Hi Dave
So far as I can tell, the apps list in software center doesn't read 
although the rest of the program does. You're getting further with Skype 
than I--I'm able to enter my login credentials in the GUI just fine but, 
regular as clockwork, the instant Skype tries to sign in it crashes. 
Running it from the terminal to see exactly what's happening gives me 
the extremely unhelpful message "Aborted" and nothing else. And I 
thought Windows' error messages were vague.
