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.

Is there a place where Skype indicates which builds at https://repo.skype.com/deb/pool/main/s/skypeforlinux/ are stable? I notice my client (this version) tells me there is an update available, but the latest information I've been able to find is at https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34778/release-notes-for-skype-for-desktop-mac-and-linux .

@bulletmart, thanks a lot. The latest updates are working 100% on my machine. Thanks a lot for your time & energy maintaining this - much appreciated! More power to you, Ruziel.

bulletmark commented on 2018-03-06 11:52 (UTC)

@ruziel, updated now.

Hi there. I'm getting a notice on Skype saying that an update is available. Do we have any visibility on when that is expected to hit the AUR? Thanks & more power to you meantime, Ruziel.

@bulletmark. hi & yeah, unfortunately neither works for me. The odd call is fine but most of the time there are audio problems & I can't hear or can't be heard - all my settings in PulseAudio seem to be fine. It's weird. Skype for Web is okay but the dial pad doesn't work for extensions & selecting options. Thanks & go well, R.

@ruziel, have you tried skypeforlinux-preview-bin?

hgabreu commented on 2018-02-19 00:42 (UTC)

This package depends on pulseaudio-alsa, for pulseaudio users. Since it's default nowadays, it'd be good to have a mention here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=233566

Please don't post here (or on any other AUR packages) about out of date versions. Use the "Flag package out-of-date" link at the top. Also, BEFORE flagging this package out of date please check that it has not already been updated here to the new version.

Note that AUR package skypeforlinux-stable-bin is the version Microsoft release as their "stable" version. AUR package skypeforlinux-preview-bin is the version Microsoft release as their preview version and is always a later version than the stable version. PLEASE DO NOT FLAG THE STABLE VERSION OUT OF DATE WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THIS!
