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.

Note that this package has a problem installing with rua due to a setuid issue in the fakeroot triggered by an incorrect use of tar: https://github.com/vn971/rua/issues/89

@billypilgrim, rather than entertain a conspiracy, look in the menu under Tools/Settings/General and un-tick the "Automatically start Skype" option.

Hello, I'm getting "curl: (56) OpenSSL SSL_read: Connection reset by peer, errno 104" can anyone help me with this issue ? Is there any step/action I'm missing ?

There are missing dependencies for Manjaro Gnome users.. If you are missing a tray icon on your bar, install this repository through pamac. Make sure extension "KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support" is enabled.

libappindicator-gtk3

If the app doesn't start, probably you need to create conf file in /etc/sysctl.d with that content: kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1.

sudo echo "kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf

smorky, read some comments below please... In short, you're probably using linux-hardened (same as me BTW), and you need to either ln -sf /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox if you have chromium installed, or do what you did with giving root access to Skype if you trust it enough.

After updating, my Skype fails to start with

The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

in the log file. It works when I chmod the chrome-sandbox file to the 4755 mode. Does anyone else get that or is there some quirk with my Manjaro Stable installation?
