To whom it may concern,

If you need installed, you can find Skype in Lite Software.. Then I believe during typical LL updates (Lite Update) if there is an update you will receive it then.
If you installed by another means.. could be different... BUT for the most part using Lite Update should else via the CLI
Code: [Select]
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade





LL4.8 UEFI 64 bit ASUS E402W - AMD E2 (Quad) 1.5Ghz  - 4GB - AMD Mullins Radeon R2
LL5.8 UEFI 64 bit Test UEFI Kangaroo (Mobile Desktop) - Atom X5-Z8500 1.44Ghz - 2GB - Intel HD Graphics
