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.

Since a few versions ago.. my Skype fails to autostart. I got a core dump in journal but I can't figure out what's the cause. Am I the only one here with this issue?

@eclairevoyant, sorry when you said mainline I thought you were referring to the stock kernel, not an AUR package. I guess I will change the check so that it only warns if the value is present and != 1.

I don't see how that's possible that you are not getting that message while running linux-mainline because that sysctl doesn't exist in mainline kernel (it is added by Arch and Debian only):

$ sysctl -n kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone
sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_userns_clone: No such file or directory

$ echo $?
255

$ uname -r
6.2.0-rc7-1-mainline

Skype still runs fine for me because mainline Linux has enabled user namespaces with no option to disable it.

@eclairevoyant, can you please clarify your issue? I run the mainline kernel and I don't get that warning message displayed (because kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone is set by default there). Also it has been discussed here previously that if it is not set (e.g. when using linux-hardened) then this packages does not run correctly so that is why the warning was added.

Might need to check the post-install script, if you use a kernel that doesn't have that sysctl (e.g. mainline kernel) this package (incorrectly) warns about the control being off, even though the app runs fine.

Maybe the main dir worth moving to /opt?
As stated in the guidelines:

/opt/pkg Large self-contained packages

Even with gnome-keyring installed, asks for username and password each time it is started. Is there another trick to getting it to remain logged in?

bulletmark commented on 2022-06-13 00:21 (UTC)

@nursoda, please note the first sentence in the top pinned comment here. To get automatic login, you need to install a package which provides org.freedesktop.secrets. If you search the packages you will see that gnome-keyring, keepassxc, and kwallet-secrets (from the AUR) provide that. Skype changed to this in Dec 2019.
