Does anyone use this package with KDE Plasma 5. For me it hangs at first launch sometimes because the gnome-keyring password login window doesn't appear, so I have to kill the process and launch it again and the keyring login window shows up. This issue has only been present within the last few new relases of skype though. But Skype been a headache with autologin on KDE for years now at it still isn't fixed sadly.

@berturion
I found a workaround for my problem. It is not great but at least one way. I have installed nvm (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Node.js_ ). I set it up and used the latest nodejs version, in my case 12.11.0. Then I installed skypeforlinux it worked.

@bulletmark .. i use nvm and in my dev env the version is set using my ide .. no idea why my default nvm version was 6.x :)
bulletmark commented on 2019-08-26 10:28
@mvenghaus, how is that possible? nodejs 6.x was from 2016. You mean you never update your system? How did you "change it to 10.x"? when the current Arch nodejs package version is 12.9.0?
mvenghaus commented on 2019-08-26 09:48
Had the same problem with asar. The problem was my old default node version. I was using 6.x .. changed it to 10.x. and everyting works now

@lectrode, I have removed the setuid change as per my comment at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skypeforlinux-stable-bin/#comment-704894.
bulletmark commented on 2019-08-16 05:12
@ava1ar because it used to be required but it appears that the skype application has been updated to not require it anymore so I have removed gconf from the dependencies.
ava1ar commented on 2019-08-16 03:55
Why does it depends on gconf?
