I have installed skype on my 11.10 and it keeps shutting down as soon as the other person switches of its video.
While I have read that I need to delete the shared.xml file I cant seem to locate the directory. I have even searched for the file manually.
I installed skype using the software center so I am a little confused as to why I cant find it. every time I go to the home folder it has no skype folder where this exists.
I even tried removing it from the terminal using rm command as mentioned in the protected thread but it only says that no such directory exists.
UPDATE:
Ok so I found shared.xml and to my surprise it was still in the same place as mentioned by others, /.skype/shared.xml
So i used rm ~/.skype/shared.xml
It just went to the next command line entry
It didn't exactly return a value but skype would function even if the other person switched off their video. But when they try sharing their screen Skype still switches off.
Can someone please help me to sort this issue?
