I have installed skype on my laptop (Ubuntu) yesterday...

It was working properly...

Today morning I re-installed Ubuntu completely...

Now it is creating trouble...

When I am trying to login it is showing can't access skype account

Should I change some proxy settings in that?

I have not done anything earlier but it was working properly..

When I tried to run 

  sudo apt-get install skype skype-bin

in terminal it is showing: 

Reading package lists... Done 
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done 

E: Unable to locate package skype 
E: Unable to locate package skype-bin

  • As I said you are using proxy on Ubuntu and you need to [set your proxy to work on apt-get update](http://askubuntu.com/questions/23666/apt-get-does-not-work-with-proxy) – αғsнιη Oct 24 '14 at 15:21
  • @KasiyA : i am trying donadony's answer... first two steps are fine but i did not understand third step –  Oct 24 '14 at 15:26
  • You don't need step 3 there. just run `sudo apt-get update` again. And then follow How to install skype 4.3? – αғsнιη Oct 24 '14 at 15:41
  • @KasiyA : Yes Yes// I got it.. –  Oct 24 '14 at 16:07

I think you need to activate the Canonical Partner repository.

  • @PraphullaKoushik: Can you please try to install skype in a terminal window using `sudo apt-get install skype skype-bin`, and paste the exact resulting output here by editing your question. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Oct 24 '14 at 15:05
  • yes.. i edited the question... it is saying W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-backports/universe/binary-i386/Packages 407 Proxy Authentication Required E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. –  Oct 24 '14 at 15:06
  • @PraphullaKoushik: Yes, but that's out of context. I meant the complete output. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Oct 24 '14 at 15:09
  • Ok... i will do that now.. –  Oct 24 '14 at 15:10

  • @PraphullaKoushik: Which makes me think that you did not activate Canonical Partner. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Oct 24 '14 at 15:45
  • Yes... I did not do at that time.. i could not even realize... Now it is working properly.... Thank you so much :) –  Oct 24 '14 at 16:06
