Hello! I am experiencing problems usig skype. Someone told me that I can not connect, because i am using the old version of skype (4.2) When I go to the Synaptic, it show the latest version as 4.2, but on trhe skype website it says 4.3. How can I update my skype? There seems to be no option for upload, only for removal or complete removal... Thank you! |

Yo, Adrian. Download the latest version and then either Code: sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb or Code: sudo gdebi ~/Downloads/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb ...it's just probably a better backdoor. |

G'day from Straya. Yep, had to replace the First Mate's version in Lubuntu. |

Small addendum to the instructions above... I had to manually remove skype and skype-bin before dpkg would allow me to install the new version: Code: sudo dpkg -r skype sudo dpkg -r skype-bin And then, as per Moe's instructions, Code: sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb The new version did indeed fix the "Skype can't connect" problem; after a short "brought to you by your favorite intelligence agency" splash screen it connects without any hiccups. |

For me a simple sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade did the trick. |
