Hey Folks,
Today; this tutorial will brief you on how to install Skype (Maverick Meerkat) for Ubuntu 10.10 using Ubuntu Software Center. Well, since ubuntu is new to the market and has a different interface, you will get confused. But, I would say; if you got use to it, this will be the best and the easiest ever to use. The same installation process will take place, but in a different manner. Now, we will see the process;
Getting started:
01. Before installing skype, you have to go to > Applications > Ubuntu Software Centre (see below screen;)
02. After the Ubuntu Software Center; select > Edit > Software Sources (below screen;)
Note: sometimes it asks you to enter the admin password for verification, so go with the password...
03. Afterwards; a dialog box will appear as below, then you have to select > Other Software and make sure the two taglines like below are checked with a mark... (further, see below screen;)
04. Well, if you don't see them; you must add those source codes, in order do that you have to click > Add then paste the code on the dialog box; after that click on Add Source (see the image below;)
