I have Skype 4.2.0.11 on Ubuntu 12.04
I have a recurring problem that a set of skype chats and missed calls keep reappearing as notifications when I startup skype, even though I delete them every time. There is no specific pattern to it that I can see, no specific user or time of day.
Short of clearing all my account history, is there a way I can fix this?
It also happen to me. And often messages are "popped" as if they were sent at that moment but they are very old! (sometimes even more than 1 year!). I also use Ubuntu, perhaps the linux client has some issues? – lepe – 2014-08-26T00:28:48.240
Have you tried to delete the cache files for the program? – Ramhound – 2013-08-06T18:11:50.447
I would try launching
Skype
from the command line (check if there is a-v
option to have verbose output) and as you run the program and dismiss these, see if any errors are generated. It could be as simple as a permission somewhere that is causing it to not save that stuff. – nerdwaller – 2013-08-06T18:27:10.863@nerdwaller Good idea, I get gtk warnings on startup, but no warnings when deleting entries – jdog – 2013-08-07T20:34:20.243
@Ramhound where do I find the cache. I specifically don't want to delete the history. – jdog – 2013-08-07T20:35:16.310
Backup the history as a precaution then... – Ramhound – 2013-08-08T02:57:01.997
