Wine debug output

Gecko rendering of Skype's HTML login page not rendering correctly. No HTML
formating or javascript/css applied. Unable to complete login process due to
this.

I then manually updated gecko to wine_gecko-1.3-x86.msi (from 1.1 which was
installed by default) and the issue still remained.

--- Comment #8 from Artem S. Tashkinov  2012-02-13 14:40:10 CST ---
It seems like Skype relies on MSHTML features not present in Wine's MSHTML
implementation, e.g. index.html contains this snippet:

<script type="text/javascript">
var API = new SKYPE.login.Api();
  API.log("Hello from client login, API initialized");
  // Configure Omniture tracking (see wanalytics-client.js)
  //TODO: Add trackable id? (see Urls.js)
  var clientVersion = API.getPlatformId() + '/' + API.getVersion();
  SKYPE.namespace("settings");
  SKYPE.settings.versionParam = "client|reg-a|" + clientVersion;
  SKYPE.settings.versionPlatform = clientVersion;
  SKYPE.settings.language = API.getLanguage();

$(function() {
    API.log("Document loaded, initializing form");
    new SKYPE.login.Form();
  });
  </script>

Not to mention specific HTML/CSS attributes I've never seen before, like:

<span data-translation-key="msgWarningCapsLockOnTitle">

We don't convert VARIANT types received from jscript in mshtml. That's on my
TODO list, but it can't make into 1.4.

As a workaround, this works (using skype 5.9, latest as of this writing):

winetricks ie6

Now skype login screen renders correctly. However Skype crashes on login, see

Simple workaround:
delete folder /drive_c/users/Public/Application Data/Skype

Work on Skype 5.9...

Please informed all maintainers.

Any updates now that Wine 1.6 is out?

However this feature is far from crucial since Skype crashes on login anyway.

The problem I mentioned in comment 9 is fixed now. It's probably worth
retesting.

Nothing has changed much.

I installed the latest package of wine gecko from Wine 1.7.33 and it started to
work properly, and I am able to login normally. It did NOT work without
installing the gecko package after installing Wine though.

Can you post a screenshot? I'm now using Wine 1.7.33 and Gecko 2.34 and
everything looks and (doesn't) works the same.

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).
