Lin­ux Desk­top

Down­load and In­stall Skype for Lin­ux

Skype for Desk­top is avail­able for Win­dows, Mac OS X and Lin­ux. For Lin­ux it is avail­able as snap, .rpm, and .deb pack­age. Kali is De­bian based so we need the .deb pack­age. 

wget https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb -O ~/Downloads/skype.deb
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/skype.deb

Add Short­cut on the Desk­top

cp /usr/share/applications/skypeforlinux.desktop ~/Desktop/Skype.desktop

Once the above com­mand is ex­e­cut­ed, right click on the new icon and choice on the Al­low Launch­ing op­tion.

Figure 1. Skype > Tools > General tab: Setup Skype to automatically start in the background.
Figure 1. Skype > Tools > Gen­er­al tab: Set­up Skype to au­to­mat­i­cal­ly start in the back­ground.

Add to Au­tostart Ap­pli­ca­tions

You can add Skype to the list of au­tostart ap­pli­ca­tions by ex­e­cut­ing the fol­low­ing com­mand, or bet­ter you can tweak the Skype's set­tings as it is shown at Fig­ure 1.

cp /usr/share/applications/skypeforlinux.desktop ~/.config/autostart/

Fix the Dep­re­cat­ed Keyring
