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.

I had the same issue launching Slack. Downgrading glibc and lib32-glibc solved the issue.

# pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/lib32-glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The problem that @archelaus is describing is related to glibc-2.28, most electron apps are affected. see the following threads:

Skype AUR has included the workaround described by wbdana and now it works. Maybe you could do the same so the package works automatically while this bug is solved upstream.

I have the same issue as @archelaus. I don't have a solution for it, but I see that the problem is not quite new and you can find something about it in the Google.

Another temporary solution would be to install slack from a snap package.

archelaus commented on 2018-08-07 20:18 (UTC)

Running slack returns : Segmentation fault (core dumped)

@wbdana thank you very much. It worked!

wbdana commented on 2018-08-07 17:34 (UTC)

@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.

lira commented on 2018-08-07 17:15 (UTC)

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

andris commented on 2018-08-07 15:20 (UTC) (edited on 2018-08-07 16:00 (UTC) by andris)

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
