Skype always started and logged in automatically after PC start. But today it didn't happen. Instead of this Skype login window popped up and I was asked to enter my credentials. I entered them, the login window disappeared, but nothing else happened. I didn't see the usual things after that like the main Skype widnow, contacts etc. I thought that I was hacked, but no, as I could login with the same credentials on the Skype webpage. Then I repeated the procedure, but started Skype from terminal, hoping to see some errors, but there was no output at all. skype command just exited.
Is my Skype version still supported (4.3.0.37)? I've heard that Skype had reduced the number of supported Linux versions this summer...
My OS: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
My Skype version is

to the command and add the output to your question. – Murphy Dec 7 '17 at 9:25strace
, then add the command. However, did you check that Skyp isn't already running in the background? Tryps -ef | grep -i skype
for that. – Murphy Dec 7 '17 at 9:31
