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.

@bulletmark: I believe the gtk2 dependency can be removed (see my previous comment)

gnome-keyring must be installed to enable auto-login

Keeps logging me out after every relaunch.

People, please don't flag this package out of date without first checking whether I have already updated it here!

@tormen Check your conf with pavucontrol-qt This works -> configuration -> built-in audio -> analog stereo duplex

"ldd /usr/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux | grep gtk" only returns gtk3 so I think the gtk2 dependency can be removed.

@Zendy @R00KIE Same here :(

@oberon2007. That problem has existed for the last 4 updates of preview and the last update of stable. See discussion at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/skype_linux-skype_startms-skype_installms/system-tray-icon-in-xfce/d3f162bf-0bbf-481b-90a1-f43cae9a86cc and https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/skype_linux-skype_startms-skype_installms/issue-with-skype-tray-icon-starting-with-version/82dcc7bb-cd51-4d31-a843-e8cc949564e6 for example.

With latest update (both stable and preview version) I am seeing a weird issue with the tray icon. I have one and a half icons displayed. Same odd behaviour in Xfce and i3. screenshot: https://imgur.com/yqtVcndl.png

Hi, not sure if this is a skype or arch problem: I can't get Skype to recognise my Microphone :(

audacity works fine. pavucontrol shows the Micrphone and the input level moves, when I speak. All good!

Already asked google a couple of times, tried several things. Still nothing.

Any idea? Maybe missing installed libraries?

Thanks a lot in advance, Tormen.
