Description bob 2019-02-05 17:47:37 UTC 
Skype needs gnome-base/gconf with "policykit" use enabled, otherwise it crashes.
Right now it depends just on gconf.
Comment 1 Gino McCarty 2019-02-07 02:11:59 UTC 
can you paste the output of these crashes?
Comment 2 Gino McCarty 2019-02-07 02:16:13 UTC 
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)....
Comment 3 bob 2019-02-07 10:12:14 UTC 
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.
Comment 4 Dominique Michel 2019-02-15 16:08:31 UTC 
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.
