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.

@bulletmark, by the way, could you please fix some styling warnings from shellcheck: while read f; to become while read -r f; and cp $f ${f//@2x/} to become cp "$f" "${f//@2x/}" ? Makes it a bit more convenient to understand the PKGBUILD.

@bulletmark, interesting, thanks for the explanation. Skype also apparently fails to work without the namespace sandbox. If launched with --no-sandbox (as suggested in the logs by underlying chromium), it just silently exits.

One solution that might work is to replace skype-s sandbox with chromium one:

ln -sf /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox /usr/share/skypeforlinux/chrome-sandbox

That would require having chromium installed locally though. Too bad people try to push their own SUID things instead of consolidating on something like bubblewrap.

@vasya, I made that change to fix the issue reported at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skypeforlinux-preview-bin/#comment-703243 as per the error message. What do you suggest instead?

vasya commented on 2019-08-19 10:39 (UTC)

One of the latest changes gives root trust to skype (!!!): https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=skypeforlinux-stable-bin&id=642c867235e8

Is it really anywhere sane to do so? What happens without the SUID?

bulletmark commented on 2019-08-17 23:05 (UTC)

@melentye, are you sure it is not starting? The preview version had a bug for the 2 previous to last versions where it ignored the "start in background" setting and always started in background regardless. That bug was fixed in the latest preview version but it appears is now in the stable version.

melentye commented on 2019-08-17 17:59 (UTC)

8.51.0.72-1 doesn't seem to work for me: silently fails to start. Downgrading to 8.50.0.38-1 brings things back to normal.

Glad to hear that :)

@mozo ok strangely reinstalling the package did the trick...

I reinstalled it with pacman which returned me a lot of warning

After I've checked if asar command is found in my shell (I haven't checked it before the reinstall) and re-run the update command which works properly now...

So I don't really understand what happened, but I've update Skype now ^^ Thanks all for your help

I don't know then. On Arch it compiles fine.
