Skype Won't Install
Anyone tried to install Skype in Debian Testing lately?
Code:
# dpkg -i skype-debian_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb I tried putting this in sources.list: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free ... but that directory doesn't exist and download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ won't let me have a directory listing. |
first try yo install the missing package (Package libqtwebkit4:i386 is not installed).

probably there are complete binaries available at skype.com that should work because they have the qt libraries compiled in. At least there were in the past, don't know the current state

It turns out that there's a bug in Debian that prevents install. If you go here down to 7.0+ at 64-bit, and read -all- the instructions, it will install. I have it working now.

Well, maybe I spoke too soon.
Skype runs, and logs into my account, and I can hear audio, but when I speak it does not work through the call testing service. My mike seems to be dead. Maybe it's muted, but pulse mixer in xfce doesn't have a Mike setting. Anyone had this experience? Also I find in Advanced settings that incoming calls come in on port 3075. My firewall is very tight, so anyone know if this is TCP, or UDP? |
It won't install for me at all on this install. I'll give it a while cause I'm going to do a clean install sometime soon and try it again.
|
No idea what kind of error you're getting k3lt01. Did you read -all- the instructions?
|
Yes I have read all the instructions, I cannot get the dependencies to install. There are more dependencies for 4.1 than there are for 4.0 and it just wont install for me on any of my current systems.
|
Well, there aren't any dependencies for the method I'd described and used.

You are just not getting what I am saying. I am trying to help you, even though no one is helping me.
Here are the instructions I followed, and they work (except for microphone): Quote:

Nothing worked, gdebi, dpkg, apt, nothing, until this morning. Thanks for your efforts I do appreciate them but it seems your problem was not the same as mine. |
Code:
root@michael-laptop:/home/uluru# dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update Went to the Debian Wiki and followed the instructions there. dpkg installed 66 dependencies and then installed Skype. |
