Hello everyone, I am still new to Ubuntu , i had an older version of skype i believe it was the 1.4, and i did the upgrade to 2.1.
But once i did that my audio didn't work so i had to disable pulse audio for that.
But the real problem is the keyboard, i can not send any messages on chat, nor delete anything with backspace, the keys such as enter or delete won't function on skype. I know my keyboard is not malfunctioning because it worked perfectively fine with the previous version of skype and with other applications.

I uninstall skype and reinstall with the new beta but it still gives me the problem, and i can not find skype 1.4 download anywhere. i really need skype to be working in order to chat with my brother who is overseas, since he only uses skype and no other messenger.

Please help. Thank you

What desktop manager and locale (keyboard) settings?

Unless you mean you've used 1.4 on another distro, it would seem likely you were using 2.0. You can grab that still, whereas trying that URL with a 1.4 package release name doesn't work for me.



Do you mean your keyboard is working with other applications now, but not with skype? Or that it did work with other apps, but doesn't work with anything after trying skype 2.1?

Is it a wireless keyboard? If so, maybe it was dependent on pulseaudio (like bluetooth seems to be). Fortunately you probably don't need to disable PA, just (update and) set it up right for skype.
