hey all,
this is my first post that i try to help people so be kind :)
i have been having problems installing skype from deb.
i was reading fotums trying to get rid of the "another skype instance thing"(sorry i dont remember the message), and even when i was online i couldnt get any calls through even when running skype with gksu command.
anyway.. the way i did it is:
get the skype version from the skype website :
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose
i got the Ubuntu 8.10+ 64-bit
first i ran:
sudo apt-get autoremove skype skype-common
to remove existing versions of skype.
then i target Desktop
cd ~/Desktop
and then
sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.47-1_amd64.deb
and i got it up and running well..
i hope this helps..
dont kill me for making mistakes... im not that good in ubuntu..i found this though searching...
let me know if it helped..
