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.

Is this package using stable or beta releases? Package description says beta but yesterday both beta and stable got upgraded and this package got upgraded to stable release, so I'm a bit confused whether I should flag it as out of date or not.

I started having issues with SIGSEGV as well after an update and reboot, using an arch toolbox on Fedora Kinoite. As @ufo_driver mentioned, shutting down the xwaylandvideobridge fixed this issue for me as well.

The Ubuntu bug report for electron https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41839 mentions a temporary fix that does work on my machine by running the app.asar with electron29 (though this does end up using a separate user data location so you have to relogin).

This command worked for me electron29 /usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar.

I'm not particularly well-versed with AUR/PKGBUILDs myself but I wonder if manually replacing the bundled electron with electron29 (or older) in the package would un-bork this. Alternatively, hold on updates until this gets fixed.

EDIT: I completely forgot that slack-electron exists.

Upgrading to 4.38.121 does not fix.

As Slack is not supporting officialy Arch, they will not fix it. But I got this bug report from their support: https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/41839 which hs many similar issues linked / mentioned in comments.

I'm seeing crashes too with 4.38.115 as soon as I make the window non floating (maximizing or move into the tiling layout) I'm using it with sway.

@wooptoo I think we can report issues at https://forums.slackcommunity.com/

It may be a coincidence but when I killed xwaylandvideobridge (part of KDE 6) Slack started successfully 10 times in a row. After starting the service again Slack crashed 10 times in a row. Disabling it fixes crashes again.

I can actually confirm the bug that @b-fg is seeing. Where do we report this upstream?

b-fg commented on 2024-05-03 08:00 (UTC)

Crashing with SEGFAULT for me in ArchLinux when maximizing the window. I am downgrading to previous version too.

dukehenry commented on 2024-05-01 14:25 (UTC)

Same here, but I am on filthy Manjaro. Downgraded to previous version without issue, and app working again.
