https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28457 --- Comment #17 from Artem S. Tashkinov <t.artem(a)mailcity.com> --- I wonder if one should file a new bug report because recent Skype releases simply say: Sorry, we couldn't connect to Skype. Please check your Internet connection and try again. Retry. At the same time a browser window gets open with this URL: https://apps.skypeassets.com/static/skype.client.login/trunk/latest/release/... Even with IE8 installed Skype does _not_ allow to enter your credentials. Simply put Skype is unusable under Wine unless you pass a username and a password via command line arguments (which is quite insecure). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
