Skype 4.3 on Chromebook & Crouton-Ubuntu 14.04

To install Skype on your chrome book & crouton - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, you need to make sure you have added the i386 architecture, (yes I know, a shame Skype hasn't been updated to 64 bit Linux systems) and also enabled the canonical partner repositories in your settings. 

Or to make it simple, type the following command-line instructions in a terminal session. 
(CTRL + ALT + T to start a terminal session)

sudo dpkg –add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo add-apt-repository “deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner”
sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get install skype 


Enjoy skype with crouton/Ubuntu on your Chrome book. 




Tested on Toshiba Chromebook 2 | Development mode, and Crouton/Ubuntu 14.04.03 LTS.
