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.

There was a problem only on the first computer I tried to upgrade skype. Probably somewhere in the filesystem the privileges are not right. As I said, the package was created by running makepkg with root privileges. Yes, it's not right way, but I do not have time to explore the problem. The other Arch computers had no problem with the update.

@pdontcheff Good but did you solve your issue? How?

pdontcheff commented on 2019-05-04 14:55 (UTC)

Thanks for help!

@pdontcheff, what do you mean by "but with root privileges"? All those commands should be run as your normal user. As I said previously, completely clear out your cache/build area and run makepkg/yay again.

@pdontcheff First update your Arch system. Then, in working directory, 'makepkg -sicC', it worked for me now. Installed successfully.

@bulletmark, Arch+MATE. I tried with yay, yaourt, makepkg - the same mistake. I have successfully built it, but with root privileges. Sorry for my bad english.

@pdontcheff, what distro+DE are you running and how are you trying to install it (AUR helper? etc) I am using Arch+GNOME and it installs and runs fine for me. Perhaps your AUR cache/build area is contaminated. Clear it out and try again.

Just install gnome-keyring and you're good to go.
