    Click on the cog well on the top right corner of your screen and choose Startup Applications..., click on Add and on the name field write Skype, on the command field write skype.

    Log off and back in and skype should be loaded.

  2. On Ubuntu 14.04 you can enter 'startup' in the dash, select 'Startup Applications', click add and enter

    Name: Skype
Command: skype

    make sure that the command is lowercase.

  3. If you are using Lubuntu, you need to follow these steps: https://superuser.com/questions/146457/how-do-i-add-startup-applications-in-lubuntu-lxde

    sudo cp /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop ~/.config/autostart

    or symlink it.
