I want Skype to open automatically on start-up. So I got the instructions... Start-up Applications > Add. Then I get a window with three fields. In the first I write "Skype". In the second I cut and paste the code: /usr/bin/skype
as instructed. In the third field I write "Internet Telephony". I then press Add… and all I get is another box.
The application simply will not load. I have tried every possible permutation of that code, with no result. This has taken months of trying and I still can't get Skype to open on startu-up!
skype
in the second window instead of/usr/bin/skype
. Can you tell us what the next box says? Can you start skype by typingskype
in a terminal? Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. Please edit your original question with additional information. – user68186 Jul 18 '13 at 17:29
