Skype MID Ubuntu Moblin Remix

Hi all,

Can anyone help me install Skype MID on the Dell Ubuntu Moblin Remix? I am trying to follow the instructions provided here:

https://developer.skype.com/MidSkype

Ideally, and I know I'm asking a lot here, I want skype to start on bootup and be under the status tab on the top.

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

why dont you install this http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-ubuntu-32 and browse through terminal to its directory and type sudo dpkg -i package name

Or even better, try 'sudo apt-get install skype-mid' , you have to add the medibuntu repository first if you haven't already.

Sorry, just noticed your post. Ubuntu binaries were built by Canonical and posted in their "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu jaunty partner" repository. Yes, Jaunty, even if you are running Karmic. Google how to add this particular repo.

If else fails, download .deb directly from http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/pool/partner/s/skype-mid/

Btw, I prefer to use MidSkype over Skype 2.1 on any one of my computers...
