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.

Did 4.11.x break the default browser for anyone? My default browser is brave, but after upgrading to slack 4.11.x, all links started opening in Firefox. All other applications are obeying the mime apps file properly, but slack-dekstop 4.11 completely ignores it. Downgrading to slack-desktop 4.10.x fixes the issue.

Thanks for verifying, @je-vv. Weird though. My system is also fully up-to-date.

@doctorcolossus, it's working as it used to, at least for me, no issues with the upgrade. Though I have a pretty up to date system though.

@skolind, I use LXQt, and the slack icon shows normal, as it has been doing so, on the tray. Though it's been several releases back it doesn't show up on the legacy tray, but rather in what's called now a days notification area, and some years back was called modern tray.

All electron apps have icon misbehaving since quite a while back though, not just slack. Clicking on the tray icon no longer shows/hides the app, one has to right click on the tray icon and then select show/hide or their equivalents for the app. But that's electrons' fault I believe.

I got a segmentation fault trying to run slack after upgrading to this latest release (4.11.0-1). I tried reinstalling a couple of times and rebooting and reinstalling, but it persisted in segfaulting. Did nobody else experience that? I've downgraded back to 4.10.3-1 for now...

I installed and it's working like a charm, but the icon for the tray output no i3(bar) does not show. The app shows up (i can right click etc) but the icon is not showing - it's transparent. Have anyone else experienced this?

@B2Pi I had the same issue with the generic icon with KDE. Installing libappindicator-gtk3 from the community repo resolved the issue for me.

@greenisagoodcolo and anyone else having the JS appTeams error - I had to delete my ~/.config/Slack directory, which allowed Slack to start normally. I then had to re-login to all of my workspaces and re-set some of my preferences.

Hello,

I started getting an error about "appTeams" on open as of last week. I tried removing and reinstalling, didn't work without patch, tried copying patch (but the patch in the repo had git history which when removed failed shasum test), then tried removing the patch from the makepkg and reinstalling.

I'm still getting the error on open, preventing use of app.

A javascript error occured in the main process

Uncaught exception: TypeError: cannot read property 'appTeams' of undefined at validateTeamsState (/usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar/dist-main.bundle.js:2:1930329) at reduce (/usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar/dist/main.bundle.js:2-1930925"...

and onwards. Full pic of error message here - can't copy it from this weird electron window (https://imgur.com/a/tRDWcxV)

Is anyone else encounterign this error on the "appTeams" property preventing use of the applications?

@valentjedi It works fine, thx :)
