I'm using an Ubuntu 14.04 system and I'm trying to install skype on my system. I followed the steps given in the following link to install here. I first tried installing the .deb package from their site and Software Center says it needs libqt4-dev:i386
and stops download. I tried to install directly from the software center and it gives an unmet dependencies error with skype-bin
package. I tried to install the missing packages using apt-get but that didn't work either.
How do I fix this so I can get Skype to work properly?
Edit#1: I tried the following code:
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
sudo dpkg -i skype-install.deb
Skpe gets installed but it shows there were some during installation.(Deosn't list the errors though). I get this message:
Errors were encountered while processing:
skype
The skype logo shows up in the launcher but it doesn't run. I tried running it from terminal and got this error:
skype: error while loading shared libraries: libXv.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
apt-get -f install
and fixing broken packages using synaptic. Didn't work.sudo apt-get install libxv-dev:i386
and then check..E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
unable to correct dependciesaptitude
. I used this code -sudo aptitude -fy remove mono-runtime
. But I still get the same error when I try to install skype.sudo apt-get install skype skype-bin
).
