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:

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.
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.

@bulletmark, weired the bugreport says this would be an issue on windows as well, while thats working fine over here. good thing ive cleared my cache and dont have the old package anymore. :p

bulletmark commented on 2020-07-16 06:26 (UTC)

@dolour, yes that has been a bug in the preview versions for the last few versions so the bug has now trickled to the stable version. See https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/skype-for-desktop-862083-launch-skype-in-the/a4a02105-139f-43a8-b307-0acff93c9521.

No longer starts minimized after the last update.

Guys, apparently you are getting an "out of date" notification for Skype stable version but note that version 8.61.0.95 is still the latest so there is nothing I can update to. Skype version notifications just seem to be broken atm. A similar problem is occurring for the preview version (see https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/skype-preview-download-not-updated/89cb7dd5-e6e6-4029-89d9-611dac1c26f8).

Thank you! I'd also add: please report the problem by pressing Help → Report a problem. Latest Skype version can be seen on this page, and it clearly says the one you have is the latest.

I already reported. This same problem was a few versions ago, and apparently they didn't fix it. The more reports they'd get, the faster it get fixed.

@Hi-Angel, thanks for the advice! I upgraded my system (along with Skype) and now it works like a charm!

@maximaman I just upgraded to 8.61.0.95-1 and it runs fine for me. I think it's something on your side. From cursory googling on similar problems, I'd suggest you to try removing skype, upgrade the system, and install skype back. These are steps that usually fixed similar errors for peoples on the internet.

maximaman commented on 2020-06-15 22:33 (UTC)

Version 8.61.0.95-1 fails to start with the following message appearing in ~/.config/skypeforlinux/logs/skype-startup.log:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 541: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `ELFW(R_TYPE) (reloc->r_info) == R_X86_64_RELATIVE' failed!

Thanks. It worked when I did it manually. Maybe it just didn't like yay.

beroal commented on 2020-06-15 14:47 (UTC)

@pescepalla Everything compiles here.
