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.

@victortrac @Thornycrackers @lira - I had the same issue with Slack not using my default browser. A quick look of processing spawning, I do see that it uses xdg-open <URL>. But all my settings are correct, so it should open in Chrome... but no luck.

However, Slack do use the BROWSER environment variable if its set, so a BROWSER=google-chrome slack would be my workaround until it gets fixed, or I do have more time to see what really happens...

After the install, slack doesn't seem to launch at all - I'm not really sure how to proceed here. I tried installing 4.10.3, but that didn't launch on my system either!

EDIT: Deleted my ~/.config/slack then tried again - slack now launches

4.11.x broke the default browser for me too. I have the brave as my default and it was opening all the links in firefox. I downgraded to 4.10.3 and everything is working again.

@doctorcolossus - I've had similar issues upgrading slack in the past. Wiping out ~/.config/Slack fixed it for me.

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...
