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, [brn at hekuba ~]$ uname -a Linux hekuba.home.lan 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 21:09:27 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

You might have better luck with the flathub version[1] which uses a common runtime across all distros. 1: https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.skype.Client -- Liam
