Ubuntu
skype package

Can't open folders, can't even update.

Asked by Jay Raposo

I'm using the latest Ubuntu from the website.
But when I try to install Skype, it starts UBC (Ubuntu Software Center) then 1 second later, it closes and nothing happens.
This also happens to folders like Home, Firefox downloads folder.
But the System Settings is opening good.
Please help me fix this issue.
