I'm on ubuntu 12.04 (64 bits) and I found a workaround here that works fine for me: http://askubuntu.com/questions/139279/skype-on-12-04-x64 -does-not-start-even-after-purging-and-reinstalling-it
"Skype is working very well on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit version (using it right now). How to: Go to Software Sources, click on second tab Other Software and mark Canonical Partners and Canonical Partners (Source Code). Open your terminal and add the following command sudo apt-get update. After the update is completed please type sudo apt-get install skype. This will install skype and will work perfectly." Hope this helps, cheers! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Canonical Partner Developers, which is subscribed to skype in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980320 Title: Skype silently crashes on Ubuntu 64bits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/980320/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~canonical-partner-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
