It appears Redmond started refusing 4.2 clients over the weekend, forcing download of a new 4.3 linux client (no sign of it in any repositories), which seems to be quite the buggy mess: "http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Having-trouble-signing-in-Retirement- of-older-versions-of-Skype/td-p/3439685"

But if that's true it would seem to be yet another public service announcement reminding that public and open protocol software is the way to go.

That's it for me, I had installed skype for calls with clients but fuck that shit I felt dirty every time I started that trojan horse anyways. Alternatives?

I got 4.3 almost working by enabling pulse audio. But the microphone pickup was very quiet so not really usable (even though its level was up to 100%). I have reverted to 4.2.

With 4.2 and pulse audio I installed pavucontrol, then from in skype I unchecked the box which allows skype to adjust the volume, then clicked the volume control button which opened pavucontrol. Then I increased the microphone volume to 153% (??). This improved the sound although it was still rather quiet. I expect this procedure would work with 4.3 but I can't be bothered to try it as the sound on 4.2 is far better.
