Hello, I noticed that the flag '--disable-gpu' is used, what is the reason to have it? I just tried to remove the flag, and everything runs so much smoother! Scrolling, redrawal of Ctrl+K popup, ... Could you consider removing the flag from the *.desktop file?

@epidings the main problem with this is that if the 'hunspell-en' is not installed, slack desktop doesn't run :(
epidings commented on 2017-08-05 12:14 (UTC)
I would suggest to make dependency 'hunspell-en' optional.
Some people prefer to have only one variant of the English dictionary (like 'hunspell-en_GB') or no English dictionary at all.

@smstromb I'm having the same issue. Infinite spinner when trying to make or connect to calls.
I'm not able to get debug logging to work either.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 /usr/bin/slack
did not get slack voice calls to work for me. I still get an infinite loading spinner.

@sepf - I'm experiencing the same on both Slack and Skype (both Electron apps).

The GUI will (seemingly) randomly lock up during regular usage. Example: when clicking a button, something happens behind the scenes (a message is sent or a channel is switched) but there are no visual changes.
I'm on the latest version of slack-desktop with the latest kernel, and have not made any changes to the installation or configuration files.

@kolombo the package has not a install file and I will not add one to simply warn how to launch Slack, maxime considering that you can see it in desktop file.
kolombo commented on 2017-06-20 10:59 (UTC)
Please add this to post install message
"""
if you run slack from console please use next command to enable calls support
# LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcurl.so.3 /usr/bin/slack --disable-gpu %U
"""

Please, don't ask for add
lsb-releaseas dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.And before asking for any other dependency as
