In this tutorial, we will help you enable it to be able to install Skype under Ubuntu 14.10 or older. You need to follow these simple instructions:
Launch Ubuntu Software Center and then open Edit > Software Sources:
In the new window that pops up, select the "Other Software" tab and then make a tick beside "Canonical Partners" (enter your account passowrd):
Close the window and start the Terminal then run this command:
sudo apt-get update
You can now search Skype using the search box in Ubuntu Software Center, then install "Client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service":
Alternitevely, you can simply install Skype from PPA using these commands under 32-bit version of Ubuntu:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype
If you are running under a 64-bit platform, precede the above commands with this one:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Have a nice day :)
