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.

I'm getting a segfault after the last mass Python/Perl/kernel update :

[ 5.873310] skypeforlinux[804]: segfault at d20020 ip 0000000000d20020 sp 00007ffe6038e7c8 error 15 in skypeforlinux[200000+1602000]

Anybody else getting this?

Doesn't detect mico speakers or webcam on fresh install. Haven't come up with a solution yet.

Stumbled upon a problem with missing sound after fresh arch install. Installing pulseaudio-alsa fixed it. I see @jc-aur & @Sven mentioned this already, but why this dependency wasn't added?

@esdaniel, I have the same problem but I don't have a solution. It is very iritating. I have one more irritating bug - Skype stays offline and I don't receive any messages until I open it manually from the tray. Then it is allright untill next restart.

Is anyone else unable to login? I can't login with either -stable-bin or -preview-bin.... There's no option to login... weird... I've tried uninstalling, deleting the skypeforlinux folder in /usr/share/, but its still doing this.. Its only happening on one computer for now.

Edit: I've figured it out, if you zoom into Skype while using it, when you log out it'll still be zoomed in, preventing you from seeing the login button.... lol. I'd uninstalled it & removed all the files from the PC & then reinstalled it & it was still zoomed in. I couldn't understand why it was only me... now I know.

@bulletmark - thanks a lot for your ongoing support of Skype Stable for Linux. It's much appreciated. More power to you meantime. Ruziel.

On KDE plasma (:latest) for several Skype releases now, the icon in taskbar is not 'clickable', have to right-click to select 'open skype' - anyone else had this issue and was able to resolve it?
