skype doesn't show up at all

Hi there,

I tried to install skype today. Installation went without any hitches, but running skype doesn't do anything. There's no window popping up, there's no icon in the systray, just nothing. No error messages either, when starting skype from the console. It just runs, but doesn't show up.

Am I the only one with this problem? Any idea what this might be?

In my case it only takes unexpectedly long for it to show up :-)

Hmm. unexpectedly long as in what? I've been waiting for 5 minutes, and nothing shows up ...

Did you try to start it in a terminal?

pikass: Yup. No error message.

Oh, after 7 minutes, the skype window suddenly pops up. Hmm. Any idea where the delay comes from?

It takes around 30 seconds here.

Check 'strace skype'. Maybe it'd reveal something.

Will do, thanks for the hint. Right now I'm happy it runs; as I don't reboot my box too often it's not a biggie with the waiting ... Cheers everybody!
