I have heard that Skype is available for Linux. Yet I don't see it on Ubuntu 13.04 and don't see it in the Software Center. Is there any way to get Skype for Ubuntu Linux 13.04? Thanks!

If you're running 64bit Ubuntu, then run this command first:
You need to go into Software Sources to enable the Partner Repositories. In Software Center, go to Edit > Software Sources > Other Software and enable the two "Canonical Partners" checkboxes. Once done, exit, and update your repository info:Code:sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Skype should show up.Code:sudo apt-get update
Well Skype is multiarch, which means the same package is used for both 32 and 64bit systems.
More info here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype
Just enabling the partner repository should pull down all the necessary 32bit libs to work on 64bit. It did for me.

Helo Dip, I'm a bit geek with linux and ubuntu, I have read these instructions but it is not working pls see what it wrote back to me:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
skype : Depends: skype-bin
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I don know and how to run skype at the end, I have HP probook i3, with Intel's HD4000? Thank in advance
just download the .deb from their website and install it.
dell inspiron 1521, AMD Turion, ATI mobility radeon x1270.
You will notice that the Skype developers only support Ubuntu LTS releases - 10.04 and 12.04 and not interim releases. That is the issue here.

Here will see the difference between free to download with limited freedom to use proprietary software and open source software. If you start skype from the terminal you may see some error messages that indicate missing libraries that can then be installed through Synaptic Package Manager. It is a bit of an experiment.

It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.
