I was trying to install Skype, but everytime I can't connect to an IP-address. My wifi is fine, my computer as well. I don't know what it could be. Presently I am using Ubuntu [15.04] version and am new to this environment. Kindly fix this problem.

It says:

missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main amd64 Packages 
missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main i386 Packages

  • Skype support 32 bit only. What about your system . ? Did you installed a 32 bit distro . ? Enter uname -a in the terminal and paste the output May 9, 2015 at 15:06

Possibly you need to comment (using #) or remove a few lines at the top of the file /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm talking about lines which start with

deb cdrom:

  • That is absolutely correct. Could you make your answer a bit more detail?

Based on the error message:

missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main i386 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted i386 Packages

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Shift+T

Open the file sources.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

And add a # at the beginning of each line starts with deb cdrom, like this:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-GNOME 15.04 _Vivid Vervet_ - Alpha amd64 (20150316)]/ vivid main multiverse restricted universe

Save with Ctrl+O (O wie Otto) and exit with Ctrl-X

After this run the command:

sudo apt-get update

Now install Skype with:

sudo apt-get install skype
