''another skype instance may exist''

You wan't to login to skype, but you can't because you receive the following error: '' another skype instance may exist ''. This seems to be a common problem with Skype and Ubuntu. Solution: 1) Open the terminal. (Dash Home: type: terminal) 2) Type ps aux 3) Look for the skype process and the process number 4) Type kill -9 xxx x (process nr. eg. 4557) 5) Start Skype and login. Does this work for you? Leave me a comment!
