When I select "chat history forever" for a particular contact, Skype crashes without any warning or error message. It start loading the lines and crashes when it reaches 1050 lines
How would I recover my chat history?
I'm running Skype 2.0.0.68 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

To see what's the error you could try to start skype via a terminal.
Go to the terminal, enter cd /the/dir/where/skype/is , ./skype
and do the exact same thing you did. After that copy the log from the terminal and probably somebody will tell you what's the problem


Good luck !

There is no detailed error report. It just says "Aborted" in the terminal.

Sorry then... I can't help you

You could try to delete you're skype profile ... Probably something messed up while skype was saving and now it can't be restored.

This is 99% due to a message with tabs inside present in your history, there was a bug with QT 4.4 and skype 2.0 solved in build .72 can you try it and see if now works?

Thank you Cimmo. New version solved my problem.
Thank you "The Devil" for finding time to help me out
