Skype is a proprietary peer-to-peer internet telephony (VoIP) network that offers a free, closed-source client application for Linux.

See [WWW] http://www.skype.com for more information.

Skype is unsupported by Ubuntu, and is made available through an official repository hosted by Skype Technologies. It is currently somewhat unstable in Ubuntu due to issues with the Enlightened Sound Daemon (ESD) and audio mixing, described in the Audio troubleshooting section below.
Installing Skype
Add repository

Skype offers an official package repository for users of Debian and Ubuntu. To add this repository, launch the Synaptic Package Manager from the System/Administration menu. Access the Repositories configuration from the Settings menu and press Add. Press Custom and enter deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free into the APT line field. Press Add Repository and OK. Synaptic will now download the new package information.
Installing Skype

Search for Skype in the Synaptic Package Manager, select it for installation, and press Apply to install the package.
Installing dependencies

The package offered by Skype does not list an important KDE package as a dependency, and will not function if it is not installed. Search for libqt3c102-mt in the Synaptic Package Manager and select it for installation if it is not already installed. You will also want to search for and install the kcontrol package in order to configure the appearance of Skype which, by default, uses a very large typeface. Press Apply to have these selected packages installed.

You can also use the qt3-qtconfig package to configure QT's appearance, which has fare less dependencies than kcontrol (none, in fact).
Display configuration

Because Skype is a KDE application and KDE has not been configured for most Ubuntu users, Skype's typeface will appear very large. If you installed the kcontrol package as suggested above, you may now run it by entering kcontrol into the Applications/Run Application... prompt. Expand the Appearance & Themes menu and select Fonts. Press Adjust All Fonts and select Size. Lower this value to your preference (size 10 or 11 is usually satisfactory). Press OK and Apply and exit the KDE Control Center.

Running Skype

You may run Skype from the launcher installed to the Applications/Internet menu. After signing up if neccessary and logging in to your Skype account, test your configuration by choosing Tools/Add a Contact... and adding the echo123 user to your list. From the Contacts tab, dial this test service by selecting the Echo / Sound Test Service contact and pressing the large, green dial button. If you are able to hear a voice, then your sound configuration is successful. If not, you will need to configure your audio settings as documented below. At this point, Skype may be unresponsive. This is an indication that the ESD sound server is the cause of the problem and you should address the issue as documented below. If this is the case, attempt to close the Skype window and wait for the force-quit dialogue to appear.
Audio troubleshooting
Volume & levels

First ensure that your audio output and microphone input channels are not muted by selecting Volume Control from the Applications/Sound & Video menu. You may test that output is working with the Sound configuration applet in the System/Preferences menu. You may test that microphone input is working with the Sound Recorder application in the Applications/Sound & Video menu.
Skype audio device

If your audio levels are properly configured and you can hear audio in Skype, but your contacts cannot hear your input, you may need to change Skype's input device. Choose Tools/Options... and select Hand/Headsets. Experiment with different Calls selections, if they are available.
ESD configuration

A problem with the ESD (Enlightened Sound Daemon) server may cause issues with Skype for some users. If Skype is unable to make or recieve calls and continuously crashes, then a small change to the ESD configuration may help. Run:

sudo gedit /etc/esound/esd.conf

and change the line:

auto_spawn=0

to:

auto_spawn=1

Log out and back in to restart ESD, and test Skype again as above. It is likely that this solution will only work if Skype is the only application using audio. You will not be able to play music while using Skype, and you will not be able to use Skype while playing music.

If skype audio still doesn't work, than simply turn off sound daemon while using skype. Other sounds will not work while you use skype.

esdctl off
skype
esdctl on

This is a sound mixing issue that may be fixed in the next version of Ubuntu (Breezy Badger).

安装依赖所需包
Skype提供的这个包没有在依赖列表里列出一个重要的KDE包,并且不安装他将会使软件无法运行.如果你没

有安装libqt3c102-mt,请在Synaptic软件包管理器中寻找出libqt3c102-mt并安装.如果你想为了能配置

Skype的依赖而寻找并安装kcontrol包,默认情况下,用一个很大的字体,按应用以拥有这些已经选择这些已

经安装的包

You can also use the qt3-qtconfig package to configure QT's appearance, which has fare less

dependencies than kcontrol (none, in fact).

你也可以用 qt3-qtconfig 这个比kcontrol耗费较少的资源包(事实上没有)去配置QT的出现.

Display configuration
Because Skype is a KDE application and KDE has not been configured for most Ubuntu users,

Skype's typeface will appear very large. If you installed the kcontrol package as suggested

列出配置
由于Skype 是通过KDE显示的,而且KDE并没有为大多数Ubuntu用户做优化配置,Skype的字体会非常大.如果

你接受建议安装了kcontrol资源包,你可能现在需要在Applications/Run Application...的提示里输入

kcontrol来运行它.展开Appearance & Themes菜单,然后选择字体.按调整全部字体并选择大小.根据你的

具体情况降低这个值(大小一般为10或者11就可以了).
按OK和apply然后退出KDE控制中心.
