How to install Skype 4.3 on Ubuntu or Mint

Step 1: Remove previous version.

sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin:i386 skype:i386
sudo apt-get install sni-qt:i386

Step 2: Install Skype.

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gdebi
wget download.skype.com/linux/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb
sudo gdebi skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

It is Important if you installed older version of Skype on your Ubuntu, Clear the old Skype folder:

rm -rf ~/.Skype

E: 某些索引檔未能下載。其已遭略過,或改為使用舊的。

可以編輯 /etc/apt/sources.list 檔案,然後把出現錯誤的聯結(底下是範例)

deb http://deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main
deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main

加上註解,就可以了

# deb http://deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main

# deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu raring main
