    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

    Open your terminal, then:

    wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skyp....20-1_i386.deb
    apt-get install libqt4-webkit
    dpkg --install skype-ubuntu-lucid_4.1.0.20-1_i386.deb

    enjoy

    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).

    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.

    Here is my output for dpkg -i skype-install.deb:

    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.

    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!

    recentl i installed kali lnux 1.0.6 cause i'm studying informatic engineering on Spain and i want to specialize on security and all of that stuff (actually i'm just starting with the theory).
    my problem is that i'm trying to install skype and no one of the solutions that you guys gave in this post actually helps me.

    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

    Hi,

    Got noted this link, could be a life saver. Follow its instructions regarding installing skype and you'll never fail again.
