How to add a Skype indicator? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

I had the same problem, installing the following package fixed it for me:

sudo apt-get install sni-qt:i386

Solution 2:

I had the same problem when I downloaded skype directly from skype.com.

To fix it just you need completely remove your installed skype, then open terminal and do this:

  1. sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner"
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install skype && sudo apt-get -f install

After these manipulations I have skype icon in panel.
