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.

Line 30 and 31:

_p="/usr/share/skypeforlinux/resources"

cd "$pkgdir/$_p"

The leading slash of _p's value could be ommitted, right?

There is 8.49.0.49

mozo commented on 2019-07-02 19:34 (UTC)

Nope, everything is fine on my end. Be sure to make the Seahorse trick :)

anyone having issue on unresizable window and having to login every time launching the app?

Yes to re-login in every time.

Also, it automatically adds skype to autostart (in KDE) everytime the app is launched. I should be reconsidering the choice for this piece of software...
