Common smooth baseboards (skirting boards) will be installed in the apartment, against both concrete walls in some places and lightweight concrete in others.
What I'm most concerned about is that the walls are a bit uneven, especially on the longest wall.
My question is partly how to attach them most easily in the different places and especially how to attach them when the walls are not completely straight?

Probably wall plug, alternatively drill-plug-screw. You might have to accept that the skirting board doesn't sit flush against the wall everywhere if the wall is as uneven as you describe. Fill in the "holes" with latex and paint the same color as the skirting board so it won't be noticeable.
Anchor nails I am not familiar with at all from before.estwing said:
I googled a bit and found the following:

But for these I assume you have to pre-drill as you write, which may make it more cumbersome compared to nail plugs that have been suggested?
Are anchor nails not an option when it comes to lightweight concrete?
there are lists with a track in made of some pressed material that are laminated/veneered in different colors which you attach by drilling a hole using a template and then insert plugs that work as clips, i.e., are square at the other end which you press the list onto. I thought it was very convenient, and there are no screw holes. However, I'm not sure how it works if you have very uneven walls, how well the clip holds the list in that case. Available at places like Bauhaus in various colors, maybe not the cheapest skirting boards you can find, costing around a hundred for 2 meters, if I remember correctly, easy to miter corners with as well.
no no not those they are for mounting brackets with. we use these at work now. I'm not working until Thursday. I can check then what they are called. we have moved away from spikpluggen.' but they work as well.savio said:

I'm thinking it might be harder to glue since the walls are uneven?para said:
If you screw them in, the moldings are pressed against the wall more easily, right?
Maybe I should try gluing in the places it works though, does pl 400 work in that case?
Yes, it works perfectly.savio said:
I glued all the baseboards in a previous apartment with PL400.
Even though the walls were very wavy, it was possible to make it perfect with the help of rods/sticks/staffs that I propped against the opposite wall.
I glued to a plastered wall. I attached a batten to the floor with double-sided tape. And secured it with wedges against the batten.
