Unable to install Skype program

Please simply add the medibuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu repository to install Skype.

-- Please open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type or copy and paste:

sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

-- give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter

Then type or copy and paste:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update

You may be asked to accept this package even though it cannot be authenticated. This is normal; typing "Yes" means you trust Medibuntu.

Then type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install skype

Hope this helps

Ok on medibuntu there is only 32 bit skype release so please try Sam Cater suggestion.
I regulary use 32 bit Ubuntu on 64 bit pc without any issue, Ubuntu 64 bit have many issue with proprietary apps like Skype.

Hope this helps

Thank you very much. Your instruction was great and step by step and very
easy to follow. It worked fine.
Thanks again.
