The agora netbook comes with gOS preinstalled, as well as some common/popular applications. One of these is skype, which doesn’t come ‘out-of-the-box’ with ubuntu. If, like me, you have reinstalled ubuntu on your netbook, you may wish to reinstall skype. Here’s how.

First, you need to add the skype repository to your software sources. From the Administration menu, select “Software Sources”. Click the “Third-Party Software” tab, and click “Add…”. Enter the following repository into the APT line:

deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free

Click “Add Source”, and then close.

Now from a terminal, update your software sources:

sudo apt-get update

and then install skype:

sudo apt-get install skype

Skype should now be in your Internet menu. I had to adjust the “Sound Devices” in the options – see the screenshots below. Enjoy!
