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.

Can confirm issue with current upstream version (4.23.0-1). Logging in to workspaces is, at best, flaky. Downgrading to 4.21.1-1 solves the issue (0829f7d72650).

Version 4.23.0-1 does not allow me to login via Google SSO from the browser. Downgraded to 4.21 and it worked there.

@rgcv same here... but for me it never launches when I use the "Ozone Platform" options

rgcv commented on 2021-12-24 06:43 (UTC)

@fardog appreciate the feedback. my solution was to downgrade it, 4.22 seems... decent enough, and I need screensharing in general to work on wayland, for one (daily driving sway).

fardog commented on 2021-12-21 17:23 (UTC)

@rgcv i can confirm the same unfortunately, segfault under wayland; works fine when running via xwayland though, so i'm just falling back to that for now. i don't have a fix, just a confirmation that you're not alone in the issue.

Electron packaging guidelines say that if packages comes with prebuilt Electron it should go to /opt https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Electron_package_guidelines#Directory_structure

schard commented on 2021-12-21 12:38 (UTC)

@wooque No. Read the FHS.

wooque commented on 2021-12-21 12:20 (UTC)

Shouldn't AUR packages go to /opt, I noticed that all packages I installed are in /opt except Slack

yonson commented on 2021-12-16 22:01 (UTC)

@rgcv isn't the electron version bundled in this package?
