There is a problem with Skype being stuck on the login screen on first launch. That happens when your
org.freedesktop.secretsprovider doesn't have a keyring configured, i.e. also first launch.I don't know if this is a quirk of
libsecretor Skype itself, but we can't do pretty much anything about it anyway.Solutions are simple though:
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.
Configure your default keyring manually (using
seahorse,kwalletmanageretc.) before running Skype.bulletmark commented on 2020-04-30 10:01 (UTC) (edited on 2022-06-13 00:22 (UTC) by bulletmark)
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.
