CentOS 7, Skype Ceased Functioning
Hi,
I have been using CentOS 7 on a laptop for a while now (about two years), using skypeforlinux all the time.
After today’s update, skype ceased to start as a service, as it used to be configured. It fails to start manually, e.g., it does start and is listed as a job, but it doesn’t appear visible on the desktop.
In the case you know something about it, please let us all know.
Regards,

It’s unlikely that the Skype developers have done much testing on CentOS
7 specifically. You might have better luck with the flathub version[1]
which uses a common runtime across all distros.

Hello all,
BTW, I see that a new update 8.45 is available, but it still doesn’t fix it, have to stay w/ 8.34.

And it’s finally fixed with skypeforlinux-8.46.0.60-1.x86_64!
