The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu Studio 12.04 - Page 4

11 RealPlayer (For i386 Systems Only)

(RealPlayer is available for i386 systems only. If you are on an x86_64 system, please skip this chapter.)

Open Firefox and go to http://uk.real.com/realplayer/other-versions. Click on the appropriate .deb link:

A download dialogue should come up. If it offers the option Open with Ubuntu Software Center (default), choose that one and follow the installation wizard. If it doesn't, click the Save File button:

The deb. package will then be saved to the download location specified by your browser. Usually this is the Downloads directory in your personal folder. Open a terminal and change directories to that directory. Afterwards, install the package using gdebi (you can autocomplete the name of the package by typing in the first few letters and pressing TAB then):

cd /home/howtoforge/Downloads 
gdebi RealPlayer11GOLD.deb

12 Skype For 64-Bit Systems

Skype is only available for 32-bit systems in the Ubuntu repositories but there is a 64-bit version on their website. Go to http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/ and select the Ubuntu 10.4+ 64-bit version from the Download now panel.

Proceed with the installation just as for Realplayer:

cd /home/howtoforge/Downloads
gdebi skype-ubuntu_2.2.0.35-1_amd64.deb
