View Full Version : Skype
Is anyone else having troubles installing skype on Kali? I have tried everything that I can think of and nothing is working. Do any of you know a way to do it? Thanks for the help :)

wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
apt-get install libqt4-webkit
dpkg --install skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb
enjoy ;)

dpkg -i filename.deb

Hmm, I tried what both of you suggested but I encountered the same error doing it both ways. Each time when it finished it says "Errors were encountered while processing: skype"

I've got another way, install the debian (multiarch) package.
Put it in your home directory and name it 'skype.deb'
Open terminal (or root terminal) and enter:
dpkg --add-architecture i386
dpkg -i skype.deb
apt-get -f install
Once all downloading is finished, it should work.
As said above:
download the .deb from official site.
then run in Terminal:
cd [path where you downloaded] (to get in the directory)
dpkg -i [downloaded file.deb] (to install the .deb)
now you may get some error because some dependencies is missing, then:
apt-get -f (will install the missing dependence).

It doesn't work. I try, and i always get same error.

I am having the same problem as Geri. Has anyone found a solution yet? Is there a way to make the i386 version of skype work with AMD64 kali?

Thanks for the quick response zimmaro, but unfortunately this doesn't work for me. apt-get install -f, removes skype during operation.

hi:)
the problem is your-kali!!
this is the sources.list default in kali 1.04 64.bit:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali main contrib non-free
deb http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.kali.org/kali-security kali/updates main contrib non-free
replace with this update/upgrade your distro , REVOVE TOTALY skype-old /link ..ecc ,clean && repeat ""MY"" procedure to install skype
Thank you for the sources.list file, but unfortunately I am still having a similar problem. When using "apt-get install -f" to fix dependencies the script deletes skype completely.
Here is the skype removal after "apt-get install -f"

hi:)
i'm testing NOW on kali64 1.0.4 (live-mode-VM) && WORKED !!!!
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libpulse0:i386
wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
dpkg -i skype-install.deb
apt-get install -f
NB: apt-get install -f correct ""dipendence-problems""

bye
Out of all the **** I tried... this is the only thing that worked...
Thanks Brother...
Cheers,

This wordek for me on AMD64. Running skype fine now.
Log in as root:
$ su -l
If you disabled root login during the installation process, you may run $ sudo bash OR insert sudo in front of the following commands.
Now add the new architecture i386:
# dpkg --add-architecture i386
# aptitude clean && aptitude update
Install libpulse:
# aptitude install libpulse0 libpulse0:i386
Then, download Skype:
# wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-deb
WARNING: Fork: Here this manual way diverges from presented one at Debian Wiki!
Install Skype dependencies:
# dpkg-deb --field skype-install.deb Depends
# aptitude install <every package from the dpkg-deb output, adding :i386 suffix>
Closing the finish line, install Skype itself:
# dpkg --install skype-install.deb
The last thing to do is to enable "[x] Check for update on startup" in the ‘Advanced’ tab of the options menu in Skype. In this case Skype will notify you about new versions.
That's all! :) Enjoy!
I also seem to have the same problem, I've tried every method of installing Skype mentiened in this thread and not a single one worked, for some reason trying to manually install the dependencies won't work. Anybody have any idea's?

skype
also i tried to install all the dependencies but even trying to installing one by one...:
apt-get install libgcc1: i386
Reading package lists ... done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information ... done
The package libgcc1: i386 is not available but referred to by another package
him. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only
available from another source
can anybody help me please?.
anyway thanks :)
