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.

@ogarcia Excuse me, please, i've just confused with the name of packages. libasound.so.2 is a part of "alsa-lib" package! Package "alsa-utils" depends on "alsa-lib", and installs with them. alsa-lib should be added to dependencies list. I really ssory for my mistake!

@TrollStation Are you sure of these dependency? I have installed Slack without alsa-utils and works perfectly.

it seems like we can't to connect an other team .. Can you fix that ? Thank you !

TrollStation commented on 2016-03-17 19:30 (UTC)

Please, add alsa-utils to the dependecies list. Without it slack crashes: slack: error while loading shared libraries: libasound.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Thank you for a great job!

Seems like the electron and freetype people are working on a fix. I can confirm that 2.6.2 works for now.

Downgrading to freetype-2.6.2 works, but all the rendering of pictures is messed up.

@subjectdenied do you have a link to someone describing the issue in detail? Would like to know the "why". =)

ogarcia commented on 2016-02-25 11:38 (UTC)

@subjectdenied, it's a strange behaviour that you need the lines `source` and `sha256sums` cause in PKGBUILD guidelines says that you can use `source` or `source_architecture`. I'm using `yaourt` and don't give me any problems. Even if I download the PKGBUILD and do `makepkg` it works well. What AUR helper are you using?

subjectdenied commented on 2016-02-25 10:56 (UTC)

the infinity reloading problem comes from freetype-2.6.3, downgrade to the version before, and the bug is gone. this seems to be a bug with electron apps at the moment, gitkraken has this problem too (and is also fixed by downgroading freetype) beside of that, i have a problem with this pkgbuild, it can be installed only after adding these two lines: source=() sha256sums=() if this lines are missing, i get errors of "xyz should be an array", and the installation fails
