I had the same error for skype 2.1 beta in Karmic beta. Installing it using dpkg from the shell fixed it (instead of using gdebi): $ dpkg -i skype-ubuntu-intrepid_2.1.0.47-1_amd64.deb -- bad file descriptor on .deb install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/388953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
