How are you guys?
I'm getting the following issue. I was trying to fix it of several ways but without success.
In our organization, to navigate through internet, you need to configure the proxy server.

I have installed Skype for Linux Beta (v5.3.0.1) and I'm getting the following message when I open it.

Sorry, we couldn't connect to Skype.
Please check your internet connection and try again.

When I check Debug Logs, I get the following message:

I have to remove https:// from the URLs because I'm new here. The weird thing is, that when skype starts, it seems to recognize the proxy (It is a assumption)

In my home I don't need proxy and it works like a charm

I tried also modifing the starter script (http://xpo6.com/skype-for-linux-behind-a-proxy-server/), proxifing the skype with tsocks, but all without success.

Maybe someone here has the magic solution (I hope it).

Thanks in advance, and please, if you need further Information, I could provide it.

Regards

  • I too had the same issue. I found the solution on their official website. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34656/more-information-about-skype-for-linux-beta Read the last question in the "Questions about getting started" dropdown. I tried it in ubuntu 14.04 and it worked like a charm !!! Hope it works for you !!! – Rohith Reddy Sep 04 '17 at 16:13

I have found the solution! I have centos 7 with Mate Desktop.

Mate has the option to configure global proxy in System -> Preferences -> Internet and Network -> Network Proxy. I configured it and Skype works like a charm now!
