Simply, you can't do nothing. Skype is a closed source software. So you can't do nothing.

Microsoft will ‘invest and support’ Skype on non-Microsoft platforms http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/05/microsoft-will-invest-and-support-skype-on-linux/

"Since when Microsoft purchased Skype it looks like that the support to Linux development has stopped." http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Please-tell-the-truth/td-p/377925

Skype 4.0 for Linux has been released. A list of new features can be found from blogs.skype.com/linux/2012/06/skype_40_for_linux.html

It will be included to Ubutu when bug 1013258 is fixed.

After Microsofts acquisition of Skype, thank you Microsoft for updating Skype! However Skype has a problem, starting from Terminal with Lubuntu 12.04 LTS:

USERNAME@ubuntu:~$ skype
Aborted (core dumped)

Skype 4.0 for Linux works for me running Debian 7 Wheezy though.

Can you help with this problem?
