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.

@lira I also had the same problem. @hashstat 's solution (with @andris 's edit) worked for me (thanks you two!).

So what I did was:

mkdir /opt/glibc-2.27
sudo bsdtar xf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz --cd /opt/glibc-2.27

sudo patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath \$ORIGIN:\$ORIGIN/lib/:/opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ /usr/bin/slack

Then I could run slack normally.

I cannot start the slack. I have the same problem of @bararchy. How can I resolve it?

One can avoid need to specify LD_LIBRARY_PATH by setting also -rpath with patchelf

patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 \
    --set-rpath \$ORIGIN:\$ORIGIN/lib/:/opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ \
    /usr/bin/slack

Note that slack-desktop already uses -rpath and /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ must be added to it as in command above

Thanks @hashstat! I am also facing a problem with links not opening on the browser.

@bararchy Are you launching slack with the modified LD_LIBRARY_PATH as in @hashstat's comment in the end? Because I had the same issue, before I did that.

Thanks @hashstat. There's only one more problem: Clicking links doesn't seem to open the browser.

Thanx @hashstat. It is work for me.

Seems slack-desktop fails to find libffmpeg for me:

https://gist.github.com/bararchy/c9c0fd76d173d5ab1c26cd62cbcc3dbc

also libnode.

Going to /usr/lib/slack i can see both libs.

@polo tyvm! I also was given the URL on freenode - should have asked there first. Thanks again
