This quick tip is going to show beginners how to install Skype in Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander.
Ubuntu 13.10 final will be release on October 17th. Now it’s in beta 2. If you’re going to install Skype on Ubuntu Desktop, this tutorial may help.
1.) Skype is available in Canonical Partners repository, so first we’re going to enable this repository. Search and open Software & Updates from Unity Dash. When it opens, navigate to Other Software tab. Check on the first two lines.
2.) Install Synaptic Package Manager from Ubuntu Software Center. When done, you can use the tool to install Skype (see picture):
If you don’t want to install Synaptic, you can also run below commands instead in terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T):
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install skype
To fix Skype no sound or distorted sound issues occured on Ubuntu 13.10:
sudo sed -i 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U/' /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop
For some reason, the manager cannot find neither Skype, nor Opera in the list, even after reloading… I have no idea why…
Did you try the command way to install them?
I use the command and i get this error:
E: Package ‘skype:i386’ has no installation candidate
It works in my Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit laptop. If you have problem with the Canonical partner repository. Download the skype_4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_i386.deb and skype-bin_4.2.0.11-0ubuntu0.12.04.2_i386.deb from the launchpad page The Saucy Salamander section. Then install via:
Try first
sudo apt-get purge skype
I experienced the sound bug, skype was working fine then it all crapped out. I uninstalled and ran the terminal code – working again but if it happens again I will try the fix!
Thanks
Before my hard disk failure & subsequent replacement, I have been unable to install skype. I have tried many ways, but all failed. I then found this page & tried to follow the instructions. So I downloaded the suggested files & tried to install. This failed, I tried to install the dependencies with a apt-get install -f & then tried once again to install the deb pacjages, but again it fails. Does anyone have any solution? I am running Ubuntu 13.10:

@Vince Roan, the previous comment of mine was in rely to @Pablo and he seemed to have 32 bit Ubuntu.
In your comment, “uname -a” has told you’re on 64 bit (x86_64) system. So please try the 64-bit debs (you was going to install 32-bit/i386 packages). Before doing that, run
sudo apt-get -fto fix any dependencies problem.Thanks a lot….it is working now,,,,
I’ve downloaded Skype vith the deb, i still have sound troubles. I’ve runned the command “sudo sed -i ‘s/^Exec=.*/Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U/’ /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop”
and i still have the same problem……
