I used Ubuntu12.0.464 bit, before the installation of skype4.3 can be used normally, the installation method is as follows: 1. Add the following two lines to etcaptsources. list1-1.Ubuntu14.04debarchive.canonical.comubuntutrustypartnerdeb-srcarchive.canonical.comubuntutrusty

I have used Ubuntu12.0.4 64-bit. Previously installed skype4.3 has been working normally. The installation method is as follows: 1. add the following two rows to/etc/apt/sources. list 1-1. ubuntu 14.04 deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty

I have used Ubuntu12.0.4 64-bit. Previously installed skype4.3 has been working properly. The installation method is as follows:

1. Add the following two rows to/etc/apt/sources. list
1-1. Ubuntu 14.04
Deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
The deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu trusty partner
1-2. Ubuntu 12.04
Deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner
Deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner

2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get upgrade # optional values

4. sudo apt-get install skype

However, after I set myself as the administrator, I cannot log on to skype and the system prompts an error: failed to load the database. A client may be in use.

Find the solution on stackoverflow for half a day:
