Hi, Nate.
This war then a very stupid decision in KDE development, changing such
mechanisms, as this breaks many(!) 3rd party applications.
Skype for Linux ....
Uses a shell script to start up. When selecting "[Menu] -> Internet ->
Skype" in KDE Settings -> Start -> Autostart, exactly this script is called.
This works in KDE when I manually click that menu entry, but it does not from
Autostart ???? A very poor decision to change KDE to not support this any
more. I would recommend to add something in Autostart config, allowing to
re-enable previous behavior.
Here the original startup script /usr/bin/skypeforlinux ......
#!/bin/sh
SCRIPT=$(readlink -f "$0")
USR_DIRECTORY=$(readlink -f $(dirname $SCRIPT)/..)
SKYPE_PATH="$USR_DIRECTORY/share/skypeforlinux/skypeforlinux"
SKYPE_LOGS="$HOME/.config/skypeforlinux/logs"
mkdir -p $SKYPE_LOGS
nohup "$SKYPE_PATH" --executed-from="$(pwd)" --pid=$$ "$@" >
"$SKYPE_LOGS/skype-startup.log" 2>&1 &
WATCH LAST LINE ! All programs started with trailing '&' abort when the
script ends.
Same with other programs!
