Ubuntu Skype and kdewallet issues
Two quick housekeeping hacks.
1. If you use Skype under Ubuntu and cannot log in with the error message ‘another instance may exist’, you should check your permission at ~/.Skype. They’ve probably been fubared when you last ran Skype as root (which you really shouldn’t.. yes yes, I know).
2. If you get the kdewallet error (error -9, cannot read, possibly wrong password). You can simply delete your .kwl file at ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet
The next app you try and run will ask you for a password. When you type your password, it’ll be saved to your new keyring.

Thank you for your comment on the kdewallet error -9. I upgraded from opensuse 11 to 11.1 and could not figure out the required password. Had to copy the .kwl file from kde to kde4, which worked!
Thanks again.
