Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May

There is a problem with Skype being stuck on the login screen on first launch. That happens when your org.freedesktop.secrets provider doesn't have a keyring configured, i.e. also first launch.

I don't know if this is a quirk of libsecret or Skype itself, but we can't do pretty much anything about it anyway.

Solutions are simple though:

  1. Despite the login screen being stuck, the login itself is actually successful. So just kill it and run Skype again, it should be fine after that.

  2. Configure your default keyring manually (using seahorse, kwalletmanager etc.) before running Skype.

To get automatic login, install a package that provides org.freedesktop.secrets, e.g. gnome-keyring.

To get a systray icon, install libappindicator-gtk3. On GNOME, then install the appindicator extension.

@nimbusflow Everything is ok on my end.

Ever since I updated to 8.69.0.77-1 I can't make/answer calls - every time I do, skype automatically logs me out. This happens even with test calls.

Anyone else having similar issues? I haven't tried to downgrade to 8.68.0.100 yet.

@porcaror It builds for me.

While trying to build the last package I have the following errors:

keyring works fine for a single account - after a successful login on next skype launch it logs in automatically indeed. Is it possible to store creds for two accounts ? So on launch it asks which account to login

@manjaro_loover, RTFW.

manjaro_loover commented on 2020-12-08 22:50 (UTC)

I've installed gnome-keyring, but every time I reboot, keyring asks for my Skype password again. Is this normal? Is there no way to make it always remember the username and password without having to renter it again?

allexj, plenty would complain if we forced some GNOME software as a dependency. Also, read the sticky comment. You don't have to install gnome-keyring.

allexj commented on 2020-11-10 20:14 (UTC)

I suggest to add gnome-keyring to dependencies. If it is not installed, Skype will ask every time for credentials when you open it.

Singularity, this bug is easily fixed on Linux with Devilspie 2. I'm using it for Viber and now for Skype too :D
