I've used the software centre to install skype, I get this error once installed:
Code:
Selecting previously unselected package skype.

Unpacking skype (from .../skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skype:
skype depends on ia32-libs; however:
Package ia32-libs is not installed.
dpkg: error processing skype (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for bamfdaemon ...
Rebuilding /usr/share/applications/bamf.index...
Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...
It seems that skype isn't detecting ia32-libs, or that I used the wrong command in the terminal.
Code:
sudo apt-get install ia32-lib
I've also tried:
Code:
sudo apt-get install Skype
and get the same error if I try to install teamviewer.
I check my synaptic package manager to see if there was any broken packages, I fixed them, I open skype and nothing happens.
I really hope you can help, because it's been driving me nuts, also I've forgot to mention, I'm a n00b at ubuntu so keep that in mind.
