And before asking for any other dependency as make or patch or whatever, please read the wiki.

Hi,

leaving this here since it bummed me out for a longer time:

With 4.23 and even 4.24 Google SSO did not work for me anymore as @33Fraise33 suggested on another thread, what works is opening the SSO link in Firefox instead of Chrome.

I also noticed 4.23.0 not working with my companies SSO. I had to downgrade back to 4.21.1 to get slack working again.

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

@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).

@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.
