I know this thread is old but I have a Chinese N9 with no Skype. I am using root in devel mode. I have two deb files. One is named l10n-app-skype_0.0.131+0m8_all.deb and another called account-plugin-skype_0.104.1+0m8_armel.deb.

I have the files in my Download folder. When I type cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads, I have a '#' after it like this:
I typeI receive this: Are these the files I should install? Why can't it find the files?
Help anyone? I really need Skype on this phone. It's the only way to keep in contact with my parents and grandparents in the USA.

Thanks in advance
