Skype for EasyOS

I am using Easy Pyro64 1.2.7, and like always I only have problems installing Skype, a program from the most anti-opensource company in the world. I tried doing this with the newest deb. file from Skype's website, without any success. Unfortunately I need it on my PC, because everyone else uses it. ...

Thank you, I did manage to load it with a txz file I had. When ever I tried to load the sfs file it said that it failed to load it. I use a "full" installation, and only loaded Skype and a Russian keyboard pet onto it.

Thank you for your reply. I am unfortunately not very good at loading things from the console, so I have a few questions. Where do I get gtk+3_64.pet? I always just load it from PPM.

Isn't there maybe a ready made sfs file for Skype made for ScPup which includes all the dependencies?

What happened to Wary64?

When I first started using Puppy Linux a few years ago the main goal of the project was to create a OS with an ISO image which is smaller then 100mb. Much have change since. People started to integrate elements of other Linux distributions into Puppy, which made Puppy Linux very big. Today you get v...

Has anyone have an updated version of Slacko64 6.9.9.9 with FF and LO, on which the software packages are updated, essentially Firefox, but it will also be nice if it has all the dependencies needed to run the newest version of Skype?

Dependencies for Skype in Slacko

I am running Slacko64 6.9.9.9, I think it's the K4 version. I installed the newest version of Skype. It need four extra dependencies, one of them I found in Puppy package manager, but I can't find: libgdk-3.so.0 libgtk-3.so.0 and libnode.so there. Do anyone know where I can download these?

I understand that there is a new Skype for Linux 5.1. First I understood that it is a Beta version, but it now even seems if you download Skype from the official Skype website you now get this version. How do you load it on Slacko 6.3?

Sorry for a late reply, it is a Asus EEE PC, and the trick by pressing alt with the left mouse key works very good. Thank you for all your advice.
