In Ubuntu 18.04 x86_64, I installed Skype 4.3 from snap. After setting the username and password (I checked them), any login attempt fails after a long wait: "Skype can not connect".
Then, I uninstalled it and used the .deb package provided in the official site: sudo gdebi skypeforlinux-64.deb. It's, again, Skype 4.3. However, nothing changed. After a long wait, "Skype can not connect".
What could it be the problem?
Could it be a firewall issue? I never set any port or firewall rule on my host.
Apparently I had a previously installed i386 version of Skype, which I guess overlapped with the new .deb (64 bit) package. I made sudo apt purge skype and all the packages skype:i386* have been removed.
It now correctly works (I guess from the .deb installation). Version is not 4.3, but 8.57.0.116. It is the current version in the official site.
