Other Software in Software Sources app is empty after a fresh install of Ubuntu

[Marten Gorodetsky]

I wanted to install Skype and the guide I followed said I need to first activate the Canonical Partners repository in the Software Sources app in the Other Software tab. There are however no repositories listed in this tab (as can be seen in the attached screenshot).

I tried reinstalling Ubuntu to check if maybe I messed the system up somehow, but the Other Software tab is still empty.

I installed Ubuntu 12.10 using the Wubi installer, it installed the 64 Bit version of Ubuntu 12.10. Maybe it's just Wubi installations that are affected since I haven't seen anyone else yet with this problem.

Marten,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

We would like to close this bug report as it refers to an old version of Ubuntu but before we do we are asking do you still see a problem related to the one that was reported? Please let us know if you do.

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
