Followed the insructions – skype installs perfectly on Fedora 21 on (Macbook pro) but when trying to run Skype only get an error.

“Sorry we didnt recognize your sign-in details. Please check your Skype Name and password, then try again.

have reset my microsoft/skype numerous times just to make sure.
deleted the .Skype directory

makes abosulely no difference and Skype does not allow me to sign-in.

  Hi moogo,
  
  Could you sign-in normally on skype.com?
  
  I just tested Skype on Fedora 21 and I could sign-in without problems.

Thanks – I would never have figured this out on my own.

Fedora 21 – Skype worked just as directed.

Hi, thanks in advance for the work-through, it seems very promising… BUT: is it just for 32-bit Fedora 21? I ask it because I see a lot of 686-packages to be installed, and I’m actually running 64-bit Fedora 21. Is there any chance to spoil the x86_64 system this way? What if I would like to have all 64-bit packages instead of those ones? Regards

  Hi Alessandro,
  
  This works with 32-bit and 64-bit Fedora, you have to install those 32-bit dependencies to get it working on 64-bit system.

  Hi Germán,
  
  Did you installed 32-bit dependencies?
  
  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 found from glibc i686 package.
```
yum provides */ld-linux.so.2
```

I followed this guide exaclty for CentOS 7 but was getting segmentation faults.

I am running NVIDIA driver version 346.47

I read this:

http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-steam-skype-segfaults.html

which recommends reinstalling the Nvidia driver and now Skype is working!

I hope this may help someone and thank you for an excellent guide.

  My Fed20 system has the libwebp.so.4 installed, and my skype made fine and works. I guess you should install this library, which is available in the repo shown.
