I was trying to install Skype, but everytime I can't connect to an IP-address. My wifi is fine, my computer as well. I don't know what it could be. Presently I am using Ubuntu [15.04] version and am new to this environment. Kindly fix this problem.

It says:

missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main amd64 Packages 
missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main i386 Packages

  • Skype support 32 bit only. What about your system . ? Did you installed a 32 bit distro . ? Enter uname -a in the terminal and paste the output – A Umar Mukthar May 09 '15 at 15:06

  • You are using a 64 bit distro. . here is the link http://askubuntu.com/questions/504689/cant-install-skype-4-3-on-ubuntu-14-04-64-bit which may solve your problem – A Umar Mukthar May 09 '15 at 15:18
  • No it doesn't. I already made it and the error is still there. He is trying to update the repositories. – Lars Kniffka May 09 '15 at 15:24
  • Couldn't you just install Skype through the Canonical Partners repository instead of installing the official deb? – John Scott May 09 '15 at 15:34
  • first remove missing cd/rom issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/125111/failed-to-download-repository-information-due-to-missing-cdrom and then try to install http://tipsonubuntu.com/2015/03/24/install-skype-4-3-in-ubuntu-15-04/ – Aravinda May 09 '15 at 15:43

Possibly you need to comment (using #) or remove a few lines at the top of the file /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm talking about lines which start with

deb cdrom:

  • 3
  • 64

Based on the error message:

missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted amd64 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/main i386 Packages missing cdrom://Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet - Release amd64 (20150422) vivid/restricted i386 Packages

Open a terminal with Ctrl+Shift+T

Open the file sources.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

And add a # at the beginning of each line starts with deb cdrom, like this:

# deb cdrom:[Ubuntu-GNOME 15.04 _Vivid Vervet_ - Alpha amd64 (20150316)]/ vivid main multiverse restricted universe

Save with Ctrl+O (O wie Otto) and exit with Ctrl-X

After this run the command:

sudo apt-get update

Now install Skype with:

sudo apt-get install skype
