There is a package for Ubuntu, get it here

→ there are two links to download - you can choose stable release (Skype 1.4) or beta version of Skype 2.0 → just click on "Download now" → Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

hello,
can you post here what result or message appear after you tried those step?

no l don't have found yet any solution...l download it but l cannot install it...that's why l let it

"l download it but l cannot install it"
→ What do you mean by "cannot install" - describe your procedure, send error messages etc.

yes...l downloaded the Debian Packet and when l double click to begin installing it or open it...comes an error type libqt4-core l'm sorry but l don't understand much from linux and l don't have really much time to sit down and read all the instructions to find where the problem is..thanks for the help Mr. Trefny.

So copy (or move) that file (I mean the Debian Packet) to your home folder (to /home/user NOT in some subdirectory).
Run Terminal (Appliactions → Accesories → Terminal) and here type: "sudo dpkg -i name_of_downloaded_package.deb" (without quotation marks) and sent us full error output.

What version of Ubuntu do you use? Dapper?

hi Christoph...l'm using ubuntu...l thought maybe should l download java runtime, but l tried it too and doesn't work too....well thanks all aof you for your help....

"l'm using ubuntu..."
→ Christoph asked you about version... If you don't know go to System → About Ubuntu and there is it written (e.g. Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu 7.10 - the Gutsy Gibbon - released in October 2007.).

"l download java runtime, but l tried it too and doesn't work too"
→ java is situated in repositories

Is exactly this version u mentioned...:-)

Go to menu System -> Administration -> Software Source, and active all the checkbox's in Ubuntu Software -> Downloadable from the Internet.

You should have multiverse (non-free) active to be able to install skype.

when i go to download skype, it reaches my desktop but then i cant install it, that option is greyed out . . it says
Error: Wrong Architecture 'i386'

i notice on the skype website, underneath is says
    * Software requirements
    * Qt 4.2.1+
    * D-Bus 1.0.0
    * libasound2 1.0.12

how do i know if i have these on ubuntu?

help!

I am having the same problem, here is the results from terminal I got:

dpkg: error processing skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb

Try this: http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu-amd64

Hope this helps

All, I had this problem so I just used the --force command with dpkg, hope this helps -- my skype was not working, and I was getting the:

dpkg: error processing skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb

So, once I verified I had the right depends installed I fired off this little gem:

dpkg --force all -i skype-debian_2.0.0.72-1_i386.deb
dpkg - warning, overriding problem because --force enabled:
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)
