Installing Skype on Ubuntu
Not sure anyone really has a problem with this BUT I thought I’d post it anyway. The only “problem” I had were a few Skype dependencies that Ubuntu 10.04 didn’t already have installed.
1 – Open a terminal (I usally call it a command shell or shell)sudo -i
2 – Type in your password so you can work as “root”
3 – apt-get install libqt4-dbus libqt4-network libqt4-xml libqtgui4 libaudio2
* I noticed these dependencies not installed on my machine
4 – Download Skype: wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32
5 – dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.81-1_i386.deb
6 – From a command shell type: skype
