Trouble with skype in 11.04

[L Campbell]

I'm having trouble finding ' 2.2.0.35-0Lucid1' in Ubuntu Software Center.

All I can find is '2.2.0.35-0natty1' and it isn't working for 11.04.

Your suggestions will be appreciated.

I don't know if I understood well, but you can download the package you are asking from here

Thanks for your suggestion.

I went to the link and saw '2.2.0.35-0lucid1'.diff.gz 1.5Kib but I have no idea what to do with it.

Kind regards.

You just have to download the file skype_2.2.0.35.orig.tar.gz Then go to Downloads, double click and extract to Downloads. Then choose your architecture i386 or 64bits and double click on the corresponded file. Ubuntu Center will install it.

Well, I believe I followed your instructions properly but still the 'test call' doesn't work.

Thanks anyway.

I had some conflicts between pulseaudio and skype; you can always try

killall pulseaudio & skype

(I think) from a terminal window.

Thanks, I tried this but now there is NO sound from Skype.

No command 'skype' found, did you mean:
Command 'skyped' from package 'skyped' (multiverse)
skype: command not found
[1]+ Done killall pulseaudio

11.04 is codenamed Natty Narwhall, so that's the correct one. When you say it "doesn't work", can you be a bit more specific?

OK, sorry I didn't make that more clear.

When I go to my account and log on I always try a 'test call'.

I do not hear my voice response after the test call.

Have you looked at your sound preferences? Sometimes the microphone / recording preferences need tweaking. If you're not recording in Skype, chances are you won't record via any other microphones, either.
