Ubuntu, Skype and Python

Question

I am using Skype4Py and create a skype bot. I wanted to install the bot on a linux enviroment (Ubuntu 12.04 as I recall right) And I installed skype and the bot + dependicies.

Now whenever I ask for message.Chat.Type, it gives me a command timeout..

Any solution?

error:

Exception in thread Skype4Py MessageStatus event scheduler:
