I am new to Linux and I want to install Ubuntu 11.10 but I have read some feedbacks that Ubuntu cannot run Skype installation which is supposedly should have worked with the other older versions like 11.04, etc. When Ubuntu updated into a newer version, I have tried to download it on my Windows 7 Ultimate PC and installed it. I am sure that I’ve got all the necessary drivers and Skype as well. I launched the Skype but it didn’t start. 

I found out that I can use Skype only if I open it through the Terminal. In the meanwhile of starting it, as it opened and I began to use it, the person I’m talking to was kind of distorted and scratchy. Some of my callers said that my voice was unclear too.

Hello Everyone,

Hi Everyone,

As a newbie of Ubuntu 8.10 had bad day in opening the VirtualBox 2.1.4 after installing Windows 7 on it.

When trying to open VirtualBox it gave me unnecessary error message. Could anyone give an advice of these?

Thank you techyv.
