Don't make it too much complex. Just download skype from its official website. Click here to download and choose your distribution (for you, its Ubuntu 12.04 (multiarch) ). A debian file will be downloaded and your just a double-click away from installing skype. Enjoy!

Canonical has made the latest Skype 4.3 into the partners repository. I've followed these steps by ubuntuhandbook.org and they work.

  1. Remove other version of skype first, type this in a terminal sudo apt-get remove skype skype-bin && rm -rf ~/.skype
  2. Open Software & Updates and enable Canonical partners repository under Other Software tab.enter image description here
  3. Install Skype sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype

If you still can't run skype and you have NVidia graphic card, see my other answer
