Maybe your Skype configurations file are corrupt. Could you please try to execute the following commands in a terminal:
cd ~
mv .Skype .Skype_old
skype
and try to log in to Skype again?

Unfortunately, you'll need to wait for Skype to fix the problem. Sorry about that.

Can you help with this problem?
