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.

4.33.84 is still crashing for me on screenshare attempts (wayland). Gonna stay longer on 4.29.149 :-(

Just wanted to say thank you. We appreciate the most likely unpaid job you're doing to keep this up to date.

@grandchild That's moot if you can't actually log in though! (See comments on that package.)

@OJFord: Actually, since electron 25.3.0 is already in the official packages, slack-electron works beautifully with screenshare :D 🎉

It still has the issues described in the PR linked below (having to select screens/windows ~4 times, until screenshare actually starts, but it works at least).

@OJFord: re Screenshare: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/38833 was merged & released a few days ago. Now we need to wait for Slack to pick up a new Electron version, hopefully soon.

Same crash on screen-share with sway. Has anyone found a workaround (is it perhaps a missing dependency?) besides downgrading to v4.29.149-1 (reportedly working below)?.

@MarsSeed What you are asking for makes no sense. If you want a version of this package that does not have electron in it, you already have slack-electron. If the electron bundled in this package were removed, what would be the point of this package?

Adjust for new version
change line 6 to:

pkgver=4.33.73


change line 18 to:

b2sums=('fea247de1899880bd1107b20335c1d8716d28884bb3ea232a016e2237cc23e57d5b1d90d8daae179e6132389485adba34681c4effaa52d6625d2a26e4f72ff41'


It worked to me

Please remove the included Chrome/Electron engine, and use the Arch repo version as dependency.

Like in this package: slack-electron.

@mlerota it is exactly the same on my device. If I start screensharing on 4.32.122-1 using Gnome Wayland I get a SIGSEGV. On 4.29.149-1 it works as expected :)
