I really want to install Skype on Ubuntu 16.04 but i don't know how  I've tried this: , but it didn't work; I get a message saying it can't locate the Skype package.  I have also installed the .deb from the official Skype site but that didn't work either; in the software store it said installing and went back to install.   When I do this:  sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt install skype   It just says it's installing and then ends up with this:  E: Unable to locate package skype

This is what happens:  sudo apt-get install vlc Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package vlc   Please help. I would also like to know when this error occurs, I've seen it before too.

Note: The legacy Skype for Linux application (v4.*) is now discontinued and was removed from Canonical’s partner repositories, so this question and its answers are obsolete. Please refer to  of our .  Skype 4.3 is just released with considerable improvements. As a regular Skype user I want to use the latest Skype on my Ubuntu 14.04, but there is no updates from Update Manager. Even in Skype website only Skype 4.3 is available only for Ubuntu 12.04. Is there anyway to use this latest Skype on Ubuntu 14.04 or how much we have to wait for the update?

It is not unusual for an Ubuntu (or other distro with apt package management) user to encounter the error: user@box ~ $ sudo apt install x [sudo] password for user:  Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree        Reading state information... Done Package x is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source  E: Package 'x' has no installation candidate  There have been several questions asked concerning this on various StackExchange sites,for example  on AskUbuntu, but these are generally about how to obtain the specific package despite the error. I have found no package that is not found simply (though not always easily) by determining if it is still distributed, and under which repository if so, and ensuring that repository is in apt.sources, or the worst comes to the worst downloading a .deb or source to compile. So my question is more general, and although I am guessing it has a rather simple and therefore non-exciting answer I cannot think how to find it by conventional search engine methods, so I turn to AskUbuntu: Is there a command or option I can use to determine what package / which packages reference the missing package?

I would like to keep "normal" Skype installed.  I have seen many options for "disabling" it such that it doesn't start online, but is there any way to simply uninstall it completely?   edit: thanks to The_IT_Guy_You_Don't_Like I have stopped it from auto-starting, but I will keep this question open as I would still like to be notified if anyone does come up with a solution for a full uninstall

The Skype app on Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't start when using the Community Theme snap Wayland (communitheme) theme. It automatically takes me to the lock screen    Also, clicking on Skype's file sharing icon freezes the app; after a while it shuts down spontaneously. Drag and drop a file for sharing works.

When searching for "Skype" I always see these 2 entries.  There is this duplicate blank Skype icon. Both of them seem to run Skype in the same way.    But I've checked both /usr/share/applications, and ~/.local/share/applications, and can't find the extra icon so I can delete it.    Also as described , sometimes similar ghost icons are present even after removing associated applications.

Last time I decided to use Ubuntu 17.10. When I installed Skype from official site of Skype (I downloaded the .deb package) I can do almost everything without one important feature for me. I can't share my screen while I am talking with somebody. On Windows that was working perfectly, on Ubuntu I don't even see such a option.  My friend has the same version of Ubuntu, GNOME and Skype. He can use that feature. I can't and I can't figure out why.
