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.

@ogarcia I experienced this error both in Manjaro and Artix Linux at the time. I got the slack support team involved as well, concluding this was the issue; it might not be a bad idea to add it as a dependency just to be sure

cheers!

@circleous I don't have installed lsb-release and Slack works without problem

ok @ogarcia. My linux is Manjaro / Gnome. It may be related to the Manjaro.

@msenol NO. There is a lot of issues caused by install libappindicator-gtk3. If you want install it, you do, but I don't recommend.

pacman -Sy libappindicator-gtk3

solves the issue with tray icon. Can we add this add a dependency?

@ewhitestone Minor version ahead? The latest version is 4.1.1 that match with package version. If you consider that the package is outdated you can use the button Flag package out-of-date and provide the URL of latest version.

How can I help keep this up to date? The current version seemed to have a memory leak, but I upgraded to the latest pretty easily by modifying the version number and hash in the PKGBUILD file.

Is this something that I can contribute back? Slack is a minor version ahead now.

Hey guys, in my computer the tray icon is not always showing up that blue ball anymore when there are new messages - sometimes not even the red one for messages directed to me. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

To fix the very small tray icon in HiDPI displays, you can add

env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity

To your desktop file. It'd be good to include the fix in the AUR package unless it breaks non-HiDPI displays.
