Install Nokia N9 Skype UI on N950 – MeeGo Harmattan

jflatt at the invaluable tmo forum published an approach to install the N9 version of Real Golf 2011 on N950. It is a mind-numbingly simple task of just adding the N9 apt source repo to your lists.

$ devel-su
Password: rootme
# cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
# echo "deb https://qa9recEP:[email protected]/harmattan/001 ./" > n9.list

“001″ is the device code that replaces “rm680″ for N950. Real Golf requires some additional hacking (see link above), but that is not what I wanted to talk about. First question on my mind was: can I finally get Skype UI installed on the N950 the same way?
Continuing from before:

# apt-get update
# apt-cache search skype
l10n-app-skype - Translation File for application skype
telepathy-spirit - Skype connection manager for Telepathy
account-plugin-skype - Skype plugin for accounts-ui
# apt-get install account-plugin-skype

My existing mc-tool’d Skype account did not show up after this procedure. So I removed it.

$ mc-tool list
$ mc-tool remove account-name-here

Then I launched Skype from the fresh new app launcher icon that appeared, entered my account info again, logged in and everything seems fine so far.
