I have siduction 2012.12 x-64. I tried to install Skype according to this forum. Without success.

Hello Petr,

"deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free" does not work any langer. Try an open-source alternative like ekiga, linphone, etc.

Greetings,

Without success.

Such posts are useless as hell!
Without any relevant info, there is no help posible.
A little hint: skype needs multiarch enabled.

to be able to mark this thread as solved:

With multiarch, I installed the deb downloaded from the official site and it works

[petrherynk]

I don't know how.

From the link that absolut posted above:

"First, you will have to enable Multi-Arch:"

Code Select Expand

# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# apt-get update

"Then, download the i386 package as above and install:"

Code Select Expand

# wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
# dpkg -i skype-install.deb

"If you then proceed with

Code Select Expand

# apt-get -f install

quite a few i386 packages will be installed.

Sound Problem

If you have sound problems you may be missing libpulse. You can install it with:"

Code Select Expand

# apt-get install libpulse0:i386

that's how I did it, without the final sound solution.
