[ubuntu-uk] Skype

[Robin Hall]

I have downloaded the latest version of Skype but after I have typed in 
my password and clicked on "Sign in" I get the following error message, 
"Database failure".  But, not every time.  Sometimes I actually do get 
"signed in" and am able to use Skype.


I have put my problem to Skype but I am fobbed off with a reply that the 
problem is covered in their FAQs.  Not that I can  find it there.


 I expect with some 8 million customers it will take a very small 
proportion of them to email a query to swamp their customer services.


Any suggestions?
