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.

the problematic glibc 2.28 commit is now reverted in the arch glibc package, so I think you can drop the glibc 2.27 hack for this package

Everything is working fine for me, but I noticed a series of these in my logfiles, so I thought that I would report, in case:

Aug 16 10:20:05 prosoitos systemd-coredump[11074]: Process 11059 (slack) of user 1000 dumped core.

follows a series of stack trace, then

-- Subject: Process 11059 (slack) dumped core
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
-- Documentation: man:core(5)
-- 
-- Process 11059 (slack) crashed and dumped core.
-- 
-- This usually indicates a programming error in the crashing program and
-- should be reported to its vendor as a bug.

@Marcel_K you were right! A simple git clone ... and makepkg, makepkg --install ... did the trick.

Thank you

@Noah-Huppert: you're probably using an AUR helper, aren't you? Please try using the default method by running makepkg yourself.

I got the following error installing:

aura >>= Building `slack-desktop`...
loading packages...
warning: downgrading package glibc (2.28-1 => 2.27-3)

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)

Could you check if it's now working with glibc-2.28 because a new version of electron have been shipped, and since the last update, slack is working but microphone didn't work anymore when I call someone.

I am having the same issue as tnto. For the time being you can install snapd, via the aur. Then following the instructions here https://snapcraft.io/slack. Make sure to sudo systemctl start snapd and to uninstall previous slack installations.

I've update slack and the error message change.

Now is: stack smashing detected : <unknown> terminated</unknown>

Marcel_K commented on 2018-08-09 21:42 (UTC)

Why would you remove glibc 2.28 from your system? The workaround just lets you use the new glibc version, which is needed for many other packages, and the previous version only for this application.

After installing this glibc-patched slack my system fails to boot into GDM. Had to do systemd.boot=rescue.target init=/bin/bash to even access the machine. journalctl -r reported a lot of errors about glibc during gdm startup. Removing slack-desktop and reinstalling glibc 2.28 returned my system back to normal.
