Arch Linux User Repository

Please don't post here (or on any other AUR packages) about out of date versions. Use the "Flag package out-of-date" link at the top. Also, BEFORE flagging this package out of date please check that it has not already been updated here to the new version.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

That fix is still in [testing], [core] is still at 2.28-1.

I believe the problematic glibc 2.28 commit is now reverted in the arch glibc package, so I think you can drop the glibc 2.27 hack for this package.

I'll just leave it here, so linux users could spawn bunch of crazy ideas, such as using VAAPI and gstreamer :Ь

Guys, I just released 8.28.76.19-2 which is hacked to include it's own private copy of glibc 2.27 until this bug is fixed.

@Marcel_K ok thanks but on that forum I cannot reply to them due a bug of that site, I cannot use my microsoft's account each time a return on the login page.

I hope you can alert them about this problem present also into archlinux

bye

@maofree and others: before posting about Skype no longer working after an update, please read other comments first. It is already noted that after upgrading glibc to 2.28 Skype segfaults. The issue is reported in the Microsoft forums, have a look at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/skype_linux-skype_startms-skype_installms/skype-not-opening-on-fedora-rawhide/c14eb9d2-563d-4697-b77d-077db7d77ffa?page=2

Hi today after a big update of archlinux this plugin and its stable version does not work anymore. I think it is due from the updating of many python packages. can you check please? the current version of this plugin is the 8.28.76.19-1

thanks

@Hi-Angel agreed, thanks for the link. I'll report it there ;)

@vltr, @ava1ar ok, I imagine it would be more correct to report to official Skype forum¹, I remember devs were replying there.
