Taken from the skype thread "Hi, combining this http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/10/fixing-skype-error-in-ubuntu-1110.html and this http://smashingweb.ge6.org/install-skype-to-ubuntu-12-04-aka-precise-pangolin/ to: sudo apt-get remove --purge skype sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" sudo apt-get install skype:i386 seem to fix the silent crash. It works for me on 32-bit Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04."
