Как установить через wine бгмерзкий skype под Шindows?

Можно ли поставить на Linux Mint i686 4.4.0-21-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP через wine виндовый скайп?

Не хочу сносить линукс, но клиенту нужен скайп.

Может, лучше purple-skypeweb?

А чем Web Skype не устраивает?

Я же писал выше, вы не обратили внимания? — Линукс i686. У мелкомягких только х64.

Этот костыль уже умеет видеозвонки на обычный скайп?

Тем, что он не умеет видео звонки на обычный скайп.

На x64 я ставил скайп 7.x по одному из мануалов на winehq. Ставил под бубунту(16.04) и под арч. Даже скрин шэринг работал.

Вру, возможно с меня скрин шэринг не работал, а я мог видеть чужой экран это точно. В общем возможностей было больше чем в 4.3 на тот момент.

Английского не знаю. И линукс 32 разряда.

Там церковно приходской — скачайте тут, сделайте так.

Ну в теории вайн то был x32, т.е. всё равно мультилиб надо было врубать.

поставь себе ghetto skype

Хватит быть ретроградом, переходи на 64-битный линукс

ТС же пишет про «клиента». Возможно, у этого клиента комп такой, что 64-битный дистрибутив на нём работать не будет или будет с адовыми тормозами. А на предложение обновить комп клиент вполне может рассудить, что проще накатить венду.

По теме: i-rinat приводил механизм патченья старого линуксового скайпа, после которого тот благополучно продолжает работать. У моего отца работает до сих пор. На 32-разрядной опензюзе, да.

Да, это временное решение, которое рано или поздно поломают, но к тому времени, как его поломают (что-то мне подсказывает, что с поломкой будут тянуть до последнего), твой клиент уже может и сам созреть до апгрейда. 🙂

Из него нельзя звонить. Только на другие линуксовые клиенты. Работает только текстовый чат. Я здесь писал об этом

У меня дня через два после публикации патча отвалился новый скайп. Звонки не работали. Загрузил старый, патченный. На нём звонок прошёл.

Принимать групповые звонки не получается, но это уже давно так.

How to install Skype for Business via Wine?

I just wanted to install the Skype for Business Windows application using wine. But somehow the installer crashes all the time. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that it seems that this .exe would just download all the needed files first. Is here a proper way to install Skype for business on Ubuntu 18.04?

Yes but it seems not to be same thing. Skype and Skype for Business are two different services which oddly use different apps as well.

That’s the way Microsoft designed Skype for Business, to use shortcuts and programming tricks instead of documented system calls which WINE can handle. The WINE website documents how Skype for Business does not work under WINE, but a commercial alternative is available for Linux.

Thanks. That sounds actually so that Microsoft does not want you to use Skype for Business other than on Windows. However, will need to find and alternative or just boot into Windows for using it. Let’s hope they offer a real web service soon. The commercial option is nice, but I use it not often enough that I see the need of paying.

Their attitude is changing, they just released Teams for Linux which is sort of their own competitor to Skype/Lync. You could also put Windows in VirtualBox and run your MS apps that way.

On the note of finding something else, I had great success so far by using whereby.com .. It is browser based, can share screen and the free version has up to 4 people in a chatroom at once. If I am not mistaking I think it is also encrypted (They say ‘secure conversations’). As well as your ‘guests’ won’t need a login.
