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.

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

On Xfce4 (X11), the icon on “window buttons” in the panel was defaulting to some other icon (even though the icon was fine in the apps menu and on the tray).

Edited /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop and changed:

Icon=slack

To

Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/slack.png

Now the panel shows Slack icon correctly.

I've been having massive audio issues in huddles with the current version. Apparently, the audio of my microphone was super choppy. Audio works perfectly fine everywhere else, even in Teams.

Switching to slack-electron seems to have fixed it, so I suspect that the bundled electron currently has issues. If someone else runs into the same behaviour, giving it a try seems worth it.

EDIT: Turns out that this did not fix it. Audio for Slack remains utterly broken since a few weeks.

Recently, I am having a weird issue where the app window is not within the screen size (overflows to left side), and cannot be dragged or tiled in any way. I have not seen this happening in any other app installed in my system. I am using Gnome with Wayland. Anyone with similar issues or an idea on how to fix it? Thanks.

To fix the app icon on KDE Wayland, the desktop file must be named Slack.desktop not slack.desktop

Can't blur or select the background in the call. Am I the only one who has this problem? It just stopped after some update. Also for screen sharing, I need to do it two times to get it work.

Screen sharing is broken for me, plus you can also share the same exact screen where slack is open, no matter the selection. Or you get a black screen, depending on which slack build you're using on here.

Had to remove and reinstall the package to get it working. Bumping pkgrel would be nice

Thanks for making the change @ogarcia Could you also bump the pkgrel please? Then everyone will get/see the update.

Using the --gtk-version=3 flag helped bypass the initial startup errors, but on my setup (GNOME 48 with Wayland), the application icon would show up in the dash with no actual window appearing. What finally worked for me was adding the following flags: --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland After including those, the window launched properly.
