@pepijndevos, "an incorrect use of tar" is overstating the issue. This PKGBUILD works with makepkg so by definition it is working correctly. However, I think the issue with rua can be overcome simply by adding a --no-same-owner option on the tar command in the PKGBUILD. Can you please try that and let me know so if OK then I will add it.

The prepare function greps gpgs output for an english text. On my system the output of gpg is localized so the installation fails.

Note that this package has a problem installing with rua due to a setuid issue in the fakeroot triggered by an incorrect use of tar: https://github.com/vn971/rua/issues/89

@billypilgrim, rather than entertain a conspiracy, look in the menu under Tools/Settings/General and un-tick the "Automatically start Skype" option.

There are missing dependencies for Manjaro Gnome users.. If you are missing a tray icon on your bar, install this repository through pamac. Make sure extension "KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support" is enabled.
libappindicator-gtk3

If the app doesn't start, probably you need to create conf file in /etc/sysctl.d with that content: kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1.
sudo echo "kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=1" > /etc/sysctl.d/00-local-userns.conf

Microsoft is finally shutting down Skype in May

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.
