tried to use 4.1 on Raring and got core dumped message each time tried 3 routes and same
someone on skype site suggested using 4.0 and bingo
This is for the ones who have had no luck with 4.1
but you need to do a few things
so it does not reinstall 4.1 when you try again [of course this is a trick until 4.1 is compatible for all on raring]
1.
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge skype
2.
Code:
cd /var/cache/apt/archives/
to see if you have any remaining debs then to list3.
Code:
sudo rm *skype*.deb
then
from
Install Skype on Ubuntu 32bit [one line at a time]
Code:
wget -O skype http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_i386.deb
sudo apt-get install libxss1
sudo dpkg -i skype
sudo apt-get -f install && sudo rm skype
Install Skype on Ubuntu 64bit
Code:
wget -O skype http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-ubuntu_4.0.0.8-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install libxss1 lib32stdc++6 lib32asound2 ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32gcc1
sudo dpkg -i skype
sudo apt-get -f install && sudo rm skype
then go to synaptic and lock version so 4.1 will not be installed at your next update
[this of course until 4.1 becomes compatible for all with Raring]
