I have recently like many received a notification from skype to upgrade my version of skype (which is no more working anyway). I have followed all the steps on the website - then on ubuntu BUT still does not work. I have deleted the previous version (and the icon has been removed from the bar). pleease help me! I need to skype with my old mum who lives abroad and has just been for a surgery...can some one assist? please do note that I am not an IT expert...but can type commands when they are clear. THANK YOU SO MUCH

First remove the previous version of skype 

sudo apt-get purge skype*
sudo apt-get autoremove

Then download skype from here:

and install it

sudo dpkg -i skype-package-name

for instance:

sudo dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-precise_4.3.0.37-1_i386.deb

See this link for more details.
