This question has been answered a couple of times on this site for other versions of Ubuntu, but the proposed solutions no longer work in Ubuntu 13.04. Specifically, I tried the solution described here. However, after following the instructions on that link (i.e. creating a Skype AppArmor profile), skype fails to load with the following error message:
/usr/bin/skype: 8: exec: /usr/lib/skype/skype: Permission denied
.
Strangely, the same permission denied
error happens if I try sudo skype
. So is there another way to remove the skype panel indicator in Ubuntu 13.04, preferably without removing sni-qt?
