| adfg | Can somebody help me with a Skype installation? I seem to have partially installed it but something isn't right. | 21:37 |
|---|---|---|
| adfg | It says that my installed packages may have "unmet dependencies." | 21:38 |
| adfg | I have no idea what to do. | 21:38 |
| OvenWerks | sudo apt install -f | 21:40 |
| adfg | "E: The package skypeforlinux needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it. | 21:42 |
| adfg | " | 21:42 |
| adfg | (It didn't fix the problem.) | 21:48 |
| adfg | Are there any other suggestions for fixing my Skype installation? | 21:50 |
| OvenWerks | so did you dl skype from the skype website? | 21:50 |
| OvenWerks | (the skype package not being in the ubuntu repos) | 21:51 |
| adfg | I believe so. I have the Skype icon on my desktop. It looks as if it were installed. | 21:52 |
| OvenWerks | hmm turns out I don't have skype installed on 18.04 I guess that was 16.04. | 21:53 |
| OvenWerks | Let me try. | 21:53 |
| OvenWerks | Ok I went to: https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ I dl the deb and save it. | 21:55 |
| adfg | Yeah I think I did that. | 21:55 |
| adfg | And then I had to do something else to install it. | 21:55 |
| adfg | But it isn't working. | 21:56 |
| adfg | It also caused Chromium to stop working. | 21:56 |
| OvenWerks | I'm still downloading. | 21:57 |
| OvenWerks | dpkg -i ./skypeforlinux-64.deb is what I will try first | 22:00 |
| adfg | If I do that it says: "requested operation requires superuser privilege | 22:01 |
| adfg | " | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | (sudo in front of course) | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | sudo dpkg -i ./skypeforlinux-64.deb | 22:01 |
| OvenWerks | I open the menu go to internet and skype is there | 22:02 |
| adfg | Okay lemme see if that worked.... | 22:02 |
| adfg | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of skypeforlinux: | 22:03 |
| adfg | skypeforlinux depends on gconf-service; however: | 22:03 |
| adfg | Package gconf-service is not installed. | 22:03 |
| adfg | skypeforlinux depends on libgconf-2-4 (>= 3.2.5); however: | 22:03 |
| adfg | Package libgconf-2-4 is not installed. | 22:03 |
| adfg | dpkg: error processing package skypeforlinux (--install): | 22:03 |
| adfg | dependency problems - leaving unconfigured | 22:03 |

| adfg | Errors were encountered while processing: | 22:03 |
| adfg | skypeforlinux | 22:03 |
| OvenWerks | Hmm, worked for me... maybe this is the time to try sudo apt install -f | 22:03 |
| OvenWerks | However I seem to have forgotten my username password :P | 22:05 |
| adfg | You should make password your password so that you won't forget it. | 22:05 |
| OvenWerks | I am not even sure I have my username right | 22:06 |
| adfg | Username = username, password = password, and your problems will be solved. | 22:07 |
| adfg | Okay! Skype is working! | 22:07 |
| adfg | Seemingly, at least. | 22:08 |
| adfg | YES! | 22:09 |
| adfg | DANKE SEHR! | 22:10 |
| OvenWerks | Great! | 22:17 |
