Ubuntu :: Skype Won't Install On 11.04?
Mar 25, 2011
I'm trying to install skype on ubuntu 11.04 but when i try both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions but neither will work. when i try 64-bit it says wrong architecture and when i try 32-bit it says "The package is of bad quality, The installation of a package which violates the quality standards isn't allowed. This could cause serious problems on your computer. Please contact the person or organisation who provided this package file and include the details beneath." and under details it says "Lintian check results for /tmp/skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb:
E: skype: description-starts-with-package-name
W: skype: extended-description-line-too-long

I have downloaded & installed the skype beta release for linux (now ancient?) on my newly build fedora 14 (64) box.
Under fedora 12, I made this work after several hours of mucking around by installing old libraries for 32 bit code in /lib and /usr/lib - as I got an error, I found the library and put it in place. This was painful and the WRONG way to do things - I should have been using yum!
It remains a shame that the Skype release for Linux is so old, but that is life.
Can anyone list the libraries needed (prefer yum names if possible) to make this work?
I can do this again the hard way and list the results for others (should have saved for myself, but I never dreamed that a newer Skype release would take so long) , but I am sure many folks have this working already. I am surprised there is no "yum install skype---" command.

I recently bought a IOgear USB bluetooth adapter and a Sony DRBT101/BLK bluetooth headphones to use with my computer.Whenever I try to make a call using these headphones with skype, I can speak for say 10 seconds and then the headset disconnects completely from the system. I then have to reconnect the headset by switching it off and on. I do not have this problem listening to music using A2DP. It works fine with my mobile phone.When I change the profile to Telephony Duplex (HSP/HFP), it shows up as hands free, I thought it should be headset in blueman manager. My friend uses Plantronics headset with is Dell laptop with built in bluetooth and he says his comes up as headset not hands free. Could this be causing the problem?

Is it possible to install Skype in Ubuntu 9.10? I don't find it listed in Synaptic Package Manager. I did install skysentials, skytools, and skytools-modules-8.3. That does not apparently install the program itself. At least I can't find it.

I know this should be really easy, but I cannot install Skype.I followed this[URL]Seems easy enough, but when I search and select Skype in the repository, I get this screen (see attachment).I click to use the maverick-partner source, and nothing happens. The button stays clicked, but there's no option for me to install it. Going to File>Install isn't an option.

Does anybody know a good option for a Skype based solution that works on Linux? I have a real problem with the current Linux version as it is a crappy, buggy and downgraded version of the Windows equivalent.

I just recently purchased a 3g dongle for my netbook. Everything seems to be working fine until I discovered this strange problem. I cant seem to text via skype, it doesnt go through. I testet the skype test call service and voice works fine, audio and mic. I have tried to google and search forums but no luck. I have before used skype on my netbook with my cellphone as a hot spot and it worked without problem but it doesnt have the same provider - different sim cards in phone and dongle.

I had my Logitech Webcam/mic working perfectly, in 8.10, but when I upgraded to 9.10, the video stopped working. The camera works in lots of other software,Cheese to luvcview to testing with gstreamer-properties But Skype's video crashes when I try to use the video camera. Usually a segmentation fault.
Lots of other threads here suggest that using the version of skpye packages in medibuntu is the solution. So I added medibuntu to my /etc/apt/sources.list, reloaded to get the latest directories. I don't see any "skype" to install, either in Synaptics or in the shell with apt-get Output from apt-cache search is
# apt-cache search skype
skytools - Database management tools from Skype to PostgreSQL
python-skype - Skype API wrapper for Python
skysentials - extra functionalities for Linux Skype client
skype-mid - Skype for MIDs
p.s. any one have clues as to why this broke going from 9.04 to 9.10?

Here is the new version that works with Fedora 13. It installs the latest Skype from the Skype repository (apparently the Skype repo was outdated in the past, but now it contains the same version as on the Skype website). First, create the skype.repo file in the zq3tf/etc/yum.repos.d directory:

Third, one may have to install a few libraries that Skype needs. If you're interested, you can find out more about these libraries with ldd /usr/share/skype and with yum provides *..., but this is not required for installation. All you need to do is (got this from Krellan's post):

I'm trying to install Skype in Fedora 12 KDE which I just installed recently. I tried downloading skype-2.1.0.47-fc10.i586.rpm and double-clicking on the .RPM and letting KPackageManager handle it but that returned and "unknown error". So I tried to follow the steps found here: [URL]. When I tried #yum install skype after running I got the following error message:
