Please, don't ask for add lsb-release as dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.

And before asking for any other dependency as make or patch or whatever, please read the wiki.

I've filed a merge request for this package into slack-desktop. As @yaakushi pointed out, slack-desktop now runs natively on Wayland out of the box, and I can confirm that native Wayland and IME work for me too, so this package doesn't seem to be needed anymore.

@kavyansh Thanks for understanding. Given the merge request, there's no need to adopt and update this package. Please file a deletion request for slack-desktop-wayland-updated when you get a chance. If there are issues with slack-desktop, it would help to report them on the slack-desktop page or to Slack directly.

I didn't know creating a duplicate wasn't allowed, I'll delete it ASAP

@river_wunsch

I was asked by a maintainer of Slick (a Slack client mod for our workspace) to push the updates to a new package bc a lot of people were facing issues with this and slack-desktop.

So I decided to create a duplicate because from what I know, we gotta wait atleast 2 weeks before adopting a package after it's been orphaned.

I'm not sure if this package is needed anymore? Unless --disable-gpu-compositing is doing something to help with some wayland compositors?

The slack-desktop package worked fine in my niri out of the box, IME was working (tested only japanese IME), screensharing worked, window decorations looked fine, it wasn't running over xwayland-satellite or anything, and making niri scale the output on the display slack was on seemed to be handled okay? Also, the sed patching in the PKGBUILD isn't doing anything, and the github issue it lists is closed.

@kavyansh Thanks for updating, but please don't create a new package for this. The AUR submission guidelines say: "If it is unmaintained or the maintainer is unresponsive, the package can be adopted and updated as required. Do not create duplicate packages." See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines

The right process is to orphan and then adopt this package, and your orphan request already covers the first step. Once it is accepted, you may want to adopt this package and push the update here. I suggest filing a deletion request for slack-desktop-wayland-updated.

kavyansh commented on 2026-09-23 15:36 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and patched this package with the latest Slack build and pushed it to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slack-desktop-wayland-updated (slack-desktop-wayland-updated).

If y'all are facing weird bugs, try using that package!

@acmodeu This is a regression in the embedded Electron version Slack is using. You can use ~/repos/personal/aur-packages/packages/slack-desktop-wayland-jetm which solve that problem with a newer Electron package, or ~/repos/personal/aur-packages/packages/slack-electron, without Wayland support

The tray icon is missing on KDE Plasma (6.7.5) with slack 4.52.155-1 but nevertheless downgrading back to 4.51.191-1 immediately resolved the issue and restored the tray icon.

The 4.51.191-1 update broke tray icon in GNOME 50. Any idea how to fix?

Update:

Slack 4.51.191-1 uses Electron/43.4.0, which has the tray issue: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/52952

The good news is, Electron/43.4.1 fixed the issue, so hopefully, Slack folks will pick it up ASAP.

Current version (4.50.136-1) shows garbage in Help -> About Slack. Not sure why.
