@quest I've never had this issue before, not even when the other people had the freetype problem. I am using freetype2-infinality-ultimate anyway, and it's always worked, only this update it stopped working.
I won't downgrade, I'll just use the web for now.

The issue is with freetype. There are details in the thread below your comments. The best way to fix this is to get the old freetype package and downgrade it.
Just edit your /etc/pacman.conf and add:
IgnorePkg = freetype2
Then download the old freetype package and run:
sudo pacman -U freetype2-2.6.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

@jeroni @Brottweiler @marmotz
Seems a problem with Slack itself not the package.
You can try read logs into ~/.config/Slack/logs and send to Slack Team (https://slack.com/help/contact).

Same problem here and remove ~/.config/Slack did not fix it.
Brottweiler commented on 2016-03-30 09:10 (UTC)
I did that, then I started slack, typed in team, typed in email, pressed "type password", typed in password, press sign in. Now I should get 2FA, but I get a white screen, then I am back to the "type email address" screen and I lost keyboard input. I have to restart slack to regain keyboard input, but problem repeats itself.

@ogarcia I had already tried it and I have the same issue. Electron warns about some deprecated methods and an error trying to get a path:
Creating Slack Application
(electron) submitUrl is deprecated. Use submitURL instead.
(electron) ipc module is deprecated. Use require("electron").ipcMain instead.
[Error: Failed to get path]
(electron) loadUrl is deprecated. Use loadURL instead.

@jeroni, @Brottweiler I no have any problem in my tests. Try to remove the ~/.config/Slack directory to force a "clean install"
Brottweiler commented on 2016-03-30 08:54 (UTC)
Same problem as @jeroni, it gets stuck at "Connecting" and just uses a lot of CPU while doing it.

@ogarcia, slack is not connecting at all now.

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
makeorpatchor whatever, please read the wiki.
