Skype needs gnome-base/gconf with "policykit" use enabled, otherwise it crashes. Right now it depends just on gconf.
can you paste the output of these crashes?
also which profile are you using? policykit is masked enabled for me [ebuild N ] gnome-base/gconf-3.2.6-r4:2::gentoo USE="ldap (policykit)....
it doesn't output anything, it just segfaults. i'm using [12] default/linux/amd64/17.0 (stable) * policykit should be forced on, not masked enabled.
Not sure if it is related to policykit. I am running an ~amd64 openrc system without policykit and get the same issue. skypeforlinux start, show its windows, and cash silently 10 or 20 seconds later. I bumped the ebuild to skypeforlinux-8.40.76.32.ebuild and changed the SRC_URI line to: SRC_URI="https://repo.skype.com/rpm/unstable/${PN}_${PV}-1.x86_64.rpm" That version work like a charm, that with the rt-sources kernel with CGROUP completely disabled.
