How to install Skype on ROSA Desktop Fresh R2

[sheshman]

Hi Friends,

I hope this is the right section for this question, i downloaded and installed ROSA Desktop Fresh R2 everything working just fine but i couldn't find how to install skype. Searched at Google and Forum but almost all topics in Russian that's why i didn't understand I did download rpm packages from Skype's home page when i try to install system says "Couldn't install" with some other errors, Also i'm really really rookie about linux just trying to learn, if any friend could help me about how i can install skype i'll be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance and merry christmas to all.

Dear akdengi,

Thanks for quick reply, when i try to run urpmi skype from console system says "No Package Named Skype".

If you run 64-bit, check the 32-bit repos are enabled. And provide a minimal info at least about your system.

Yeah you need to enable 32 bit repo if you are running Rosa Desktop Fresh R2 64 bit. I have just finished installed Skype without any problem using software manager (Rpmdrake).

so sorry for missing information, my system is ;Celeron 1.50 - 2GB RAM, Grundig Ultra Book. Rosa installed with "ROSA.FRESH.KDE.R2.i586.iso " file (I think my system is allready 32 bit). I'm also rookie about linux systems that's why i don't even know how to add repo
