Help - Skype

Hi

I'n trying to download and use Skype. I'm unsure which version of Skype to choose from their website.

I tried Fedora 10+ which seemed to install fine however upon right clicking the desktop and selecting 'Skype' from the list nothing happens! Tried rebooting my netbook too.

I also tried Ubuntu 8.10+ 64-bit however it doesn't seem to 'extract' correctly. I get an error.

TO be honest I have no idea which of the versions to pick. I'm obviously using Linux as my OS.

Any help comes with big thanks.

Thomas

 

Have a look here:

I've downloaded and unzipped Skype.sh using the link provided and when I run it I get the message

"Do you want to install the update patch? Click OK to continue...."

I've clicked OK but it does not install Skype.

I had a previous installation of Skype (that was installed from skype-2.0.0.72-fc5.i586.rpm) which I removed as it was giving me the error "P2P connect failed"

Can you give me any advice?

 

download the static package, under the opensuse version.

 

Hi Thomas,

Did you find a solution? I have the exact same problem, installed fedora 10+ and it installed without error yet when I launch Skype nothing happens!!

Any help you can give me would be much appreciated!
