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.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.

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

@zozi56 is there no way making it work with KDE's? Installing gnome-keyring won't mess up with KDE? thanks

@ltorvalds024 For remembering login data, you need to have the gnome-keyring package installed. It is an optional dependency.

This is only on your side. Working fine here on five PCs.

On every start, this app asks me to login. I don't think is expected behaviour. I think this is a bug.

Hi, currently running arch 4.20.7 with plasma, question is it possible to use your client as Skype for business, I don't see the option to allow for entering domain and user name or am I missing some options to tick. I tried just entering my corporate details but it says wrong password or ID. I am using SKY (AUR) successfully but would like to use your client as it looks more Skpye like. (note I also tried your preview version as well)

Nope, works without any problems here - Arch Plasma 5, апа Manjaro Cinnamon. Start it from terminal and examine the output.
