Please remove the included Chrome/Electron engine, and use the Arch repo version as dependency.

Like in this package: slack-electron.

@grandchild I test Wayland screen sharing in this package for every version before I update the AUR. Sorry it's not working for you. I suggest that you recheck your Wayland setup, confirm you are launching Slack via the Desktop launcher, and if still having trouble open a forum post following the links in the pinned comment.

Since version 4.29.149 works with wayland screenshare, maybe this package should downgrade and stay on that version that works until slack fixes the crash in an upcoming version?

Alternatively for anyone reading this, clone the AUR repo for this package, do git checkout fa99f7651 and makepkg that version. It should build version 4.29.149.

@cspeck-aai I get that there is not much you can do.

For all who face the same and end up here: I can leave two tips here to enable screen sharing in slack again:

  • Use Slack from the browser.
  • Use flatpack and pinned version:
sudo flatpak update \                            
--commit=b95d24a8a354db07b95b065b3e57e9442c9fbaf851a49cbe6e7b1aa0afcab591 \
com.slack.Slack
flatpak run com.slack.Slack

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done with individuals posting comments that this package doesn't work.

To actually work through your issues, seek help and resolve them:

1) strictly follow/redo Wayland setup according to the wiki;

2) start a post in the Arch Applications & Desktop Environments forum;

3) put in a help-desk request with Slack

If a 4th opinion is need. Here it is: I also cannot share the screen on wayland (sway) arch (6.2.11-arch1-1) and slack (4.31.155-1).

If I do, for instance, the Run an audio, video and screensharing test I end up with this segmentation fault:

have to add here that I'm experiencing the same issue as @tchernomax and @ingvij

Slack 4.31.155, linux 6.2.12-arch1-1 on x64

slack crashes on screen-share and even on "record video" in my account's convo

regardless of flags used or environment variables set

@ingvij you are not the only one who's slack crashes when screen-sharing in a huddle :

I didn't find any workaround.

ingvij commented on 2023-04-14 07:08 (UTC)

Thanks @aryklein and @cspeck-aai. Replacing the attribute order didn't fix the issue for me. The new version now segfaults when I try to share screen.

I'll try their forum :/

cspeck-aai commented on 2023-04-14 04:40 (UTC)

New version of upstream package has been published so I've updated the AUR.

@aryklein Thanks for your suggestion. I didn't find it was required but since it caused no harm and fixes it for you (and presumably others) I've put the change in.

@ajvsms Thanks I've adopted your suggestion too.

@ingvij Sorry I cannot help. Wayland + Electron is quite finicky and it appears each application and setup is different. Maybe try a post in the Applications & Desktop Environments forum?
