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.

@hashstat N00b question here, but how do I get my hands on glibc-2.27-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz? I don't have it in my cache?

I found a workaround that allows slack to use the previous version of glibc without downgrading.

Do the following as root:

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

# Patch the slack binary to point to glibc-2.27
pacman -S patchelf
patchelf --set-interpreter /opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/slack

Now you can launch slack as any user: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.27/usr/lib/ slack &>/dev/null &

@raul Downgrading glibc and lib32-glibc worked for me -- thanks! @jardragon901 Here's how I did it (I had a dependency of lib32-glibc, likely for steam):

seems i can't downgrade my glibc because of a dependency, hopefully this can be fixed without having to wait for slack to put out a new release

@Svenstaro, found the breaking change: glibc 2.28-1 downgrading to 2.27-3 fixes slack

raul commented on 2018-08-06 11:03 (UTC)

@Svenstaro yep, seems to be related to a recent gcc update and /usr/lib/slack/libnode.so

Can't start slack. Basically it just segfaults right at the start. Due to missing symbols, gdb is pretty much useless. I'm running full [testing]. Anybody else getting this?

I've hit https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/8127. As suggested in the comments, adding the extra --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds --enable-native-gpu-memory-buffers parameters into the .desktop file fixed the issue for me.
