Solution : Skype stays always online - issue due to "cloud chats"

skype

Long story short, I was told that my Skype account is online even when I am totally sure it is not. Couple monthes I was living with that issue, while I've got some time to make an investigation

According to Skype forums this issues appeared with introdution of "cloud chats" (and new client apps, when all old clients "were banned"). Cloud chats from some clients by some means "keep your online status". In my case it was a online sessions from my Android Skype client.

Solution

Go in chat with anyone (doesn't matter who) and type this command:

/showplaces

(it this shows all your current "online" session, for me it was 3 of them !)
If you see more than one session there, then type

/remotelogout

it will logout all sessions except current one.

Linkify - jQuery plugin for finding URLs in plain-text and converting them to HTML links. It works with all valid URLs and email addresses



Remodal - flat, responsive, lightweight, fast, easy customizable modal window jquery plugin with declarative state notation and hash tracking



Giving a try to Ubuntu 14.04 - so far it's ok. More stable and refined. But it seem to have problems with Cinnamon 2 installation. Oh fine... will wait for Linux MInt 17 to use on my Work machine
