Skype - Unable to receive group chat messages

I was having the same problem. Ubuntu 14,04 here. I found this answer in a forum that solved the problem for me.

After struggling a bit, I found some useful commands. You can type these in any skype chat window.

/dumpmsnp - show details about your connection

/showplaces - show where you are currently connected

What was happening was that /dumpmsnp command was showing "LoggedOut", but I was online and talking almost normally (except group chats).

System: MSNP: Connection Data:
 * Status: LoggedOut

To solve this "LoggedOut" issue, try this on any chat window:

/msnp24

and restart your Skype.

After restarting, /dumpmsnp output shows the following status:

System: MSNP: Connection Data (MSNP24):
 * Status: LoggedIn

I don't know exactly why, but the /msnp24 command kinds of converted my account to this protocol and now everything works perfectly.
