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.

Building with rua, I get this error

./usr/bin/slack: Can't set user=0/group=0 for usr/bin/slack bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

I had to add --no-same-owner to bsdtar to make it extract. Is it only me?

I tried it again randomly and It's decided to work.

Problem: After launching, clicking "Sign In" or "get started" does nothing.

Version: 4.2.0

Desktop Environment: KDE

Comments: Running from the terminal, nothing particularly concerning can be found. I do get the below warning on start

warn: (T00000000) UnknownFetchManager requested 1 objects but received 0. Missing objects: T00000000

and on clicking sign-in, the below is printed which seems normal fine

info: Got window.open with URL: /ssb/signin

I've tried modifying settings in ~/.config/Slack/local-settings.json to change the log level or redirect to console (I believe the error may be in the web console it's probably using). I also tried deleting this directory.

I'm actually guessing this is a problem with the desktop client itself or my system, but I'm not sure.

I was having the same problem with a blank screen running on XFCE. Seems to have gone away with the update on 12/06.

Anyone else getting a blank screen on recent builds when running in Sway?

@ogarcia That's fair enough tbh, would you be against the idea of adding it as an optional dependency? Also @msenol I think your addition to the arch wiki broke the wiki page for slack

ogarcia commented on 2019-11-16 11:07 (UTC)

Sorry @circleous and @alsetema, but this is AUR (Arch Linux User Repository). I cannot add dependencies to this package that Arch don't need.

I have added information into wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Slack-desktop

@ogarcia, I think this only happens on Archlinux based distros derivative, the problem occured on my laptop running artix linux and It's not happening on vanilla arch linux.
