Linux за българи: Форуми

You need to download the static version of skype:
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-static

Then move the contents of the folder to somewhere discrete. I recomend /opt/Skype

Uninstall the installed version of skype:
sudo dpkg -r skype

Make a script to launch Skype from the directory it is in:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/skype

write this in it:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/Skype
./skype

Then do this in terminal:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/skype

You need to copy the launcher from the Skype directory to the applications directory, do this in terminal:
sudo cp /opt/Skype/skype.desktop /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop

open the file like this:

sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop

and change it from this:
