    I can't find Skype in the Ubuntu Software Center ???

    Hi,
    I reformatted my HD and downloaded and installed the latest Ubuntu about 8 or 9 weeks ago.Ive been away for most of that time. Now I had installed skype and Im pretty sure it was from the Ubuntu Software center about 4 or 5 moths ago.

    I cant see to find it now ???

    Thank you for any help,

    Mick.

    My Ubuntu 12.04 is fully updated and installed since a long time - I can't find it either in the software center.
    Try downloading the DEB file from the official website:

    http://www.skype.com/en/download-sky...-for-computer/

    Note that there apparently is no package for Ubuntu 12.10, only for 10.04 and 12.04.
    Double-click on the DEB file, and the Software Center will open.

    Thumbs down Re: I can't find Skype in the Ubuntu Software Center ???

    Thankyou !!!! To behonest I think time flies, it was probably a year ago that I installed Skype, and I am hopeless at installing software so I am sure I used the Ubuntu Software Center.

    Anyway, I will follow your link and I will get it installed.

    Its a bit strange that it dosent comeup in THE CENTER

    I mean we all use Skype

    Well, skype can be in the software center. You just need to enable the partner repository in sources setting.

    Take a look here:
