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.

@whynothugo, that is not what -bin means.

whynothugo commented on 2021-12-07 18:12 (UTC)

Can't this just be called skypeforlinux?

-bin is usually suffixed to packages to avoid a name conflict from packages that build from source, but there's not "from source" package for skype.

-stable is assumed -- most packages that don't specify otherwise track up-stream's stable releases.

@pvdl1984 No problems here.

Never mind. Not sure what happened here, but audio output was not working for skype, even after a full system update and system restart. The following day it actually started working again.

@Hi-Angel, no it was an error, i have deleted the other comment

I figured it was probably a login error not showing properly, i was able to login using another account

Thanks guys

Love you all

Working fine here too.

@Alterego you posted the same question on both stable and non-stable. Do you have a problem with both?

With that said, no problem for me with 8.75.0.140

Alterego commented on 2021-08-30 12:18 (UTC)

With the latest version login ends up in a white screen, anyone with the same issue?

@sixtyfive, the sha256 sum for skypeforlinux_8.74.0.152-1.x86_64.rpm is 1b19fbb55c75815c78e9c20ed29a97c6b11c8b45a2444dd8f1aa51d7ca354039 which is the same as in the PKGBUILD here. What are you getting?
