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.

@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.

@petr.nehez you can override the desktop file with your own copy. Do the following.

# Copy to your .local folder
cp /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop ~/.local/share/applications

# Edit it
vim ~/.local/share/applications/slack.desktop

Now you can set the Exec entry to anything you want:

Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 /usr/bin/slack %U

It might worth to consider also a patch for Plasma tray icon by adding XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity prefix.

I'm having issues with launching slack-desktop after quitting it via my WM.

Basically, slack launches successfully on my system after a reboot. If I select file -> quit from the menubar, I can launch slack again and it still works just fine.

The problem seems to be that if I kill slack using my WM bindings (XMonad in this case), it fails to launch again until I reboot my system. The error I get is as follows:

$ slack
Creating Slack Application
dbus[19291]: dbus message iterator has already been closed, or is uninitialized or corrupt
  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace
Failed to get crash dump id.
Report Id: 5b373b889ed27
[1]    19291 abort (core dumped)  slack

Downgrading to 3.1.1 fixes this - not sure if this is an upstream issue or what.

Of course, it does not work…

My PKGBUILD attempt is here in case anyone is interested: https://paste.xinu.at/N0w5z/

To (fail to) run it, you have to type electron /usr/lib/slack/app.asar in a terminal (providing a slack in /usr/bin is of course doable, but there is no point yet).

I’m going to propose a very different way of packaging this, because in the end I believe this is just yet another electron app. If I succeed, this will land in [community].

I am having issues with time messages are sent. Any message i send has the sent time set to GMT+0, instead of GMT+1. However the recipient recieves it in the normal time. The recipient is running a windows client. Running on KDE Plasma. Issue not fixed with the last upgrade.

Also seeing the same issue as mheese and codedmart
