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.

Comment to: 8.34.0.78-1 - Am I the only one who can see "away" yellow contacts as offline? In the skype.web all is fine and here again wrong. I have impression that the previous release was free of this bug in opposite to all before where even green dot wasn't presented correctly.

dschaefer79 that is exactly what the thread says :)

@mozo I have found the solution, in Seahorse, right-click on Default Keyring on left, change password, give the password and set the new password with no password, blank password. After that, Skype doesn't ask more for password.
