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.

Hi. I am having an issue with the font on code blocks - it looks like I am missing a font, but I am not sure which one. Does anyone know?

Hi, when I start or receive a slack call, the audio settings don't pick up an input (tried multiple microphones). Other applications don't run into this issue (zoom, google meet, chime, to name a few). Has anyone seen this issue before and resolved it? I'm wondering if I need to configure pulseaudio in anyway for this specific application to work with my audio inputs?

Unicode input (ctrl + shift + u) does not seem to work anymore. It could be a change at the Slack side, but just thought I give a heads up to anyone else looking

@alecmev I had the same issue. It appears to be an issue with firefox, not electron. Setting the environment variable GDK_BACKEND=wayland for firefox when I launch it seemed to fix the issue for me.

Can't open links as of a week or two ago. Discord works, so this isn't an Electron and/or Wayland issue. My default browser is Firefox, and I have $BROWSER set to firefox, and xdg-open works fine by itself. Every time I click on a link in Slack, a new sh /usr/bin/xdg-open process is spawned, and they all stay there even after terminating Slack. Any pointers?

Is missing a dependency: libappindicator-gtk3

Without this, it doesn't show the notification indicator in the status bar on Gnome.

I figured out the problem with the browser issue, Slack tries to xdg-open but the xdg-mime query (L827 of /usr/bin/xdg-open on my system) returns

/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en-US) brave-browser.desktop

Seems like some dingus at Slack decided to set the locale to "en-US" instead of "en_US" like all our locale.gen's support

The workaround is the same, just set the BROWSER manually, since xdg-open falls back to BROWSER if it can't find the correct *.desktop file to open the file (and it can't because the "warning" in the message above is part of the desktop filename returned, which obviously will fail to parse). xdg-open by default falls back to a few default web browsers if it can't find an app, L928-930 on my system:

    BROWSER=www-browser:links2:elinks:links:lynx:w3m
    if has_display; then
        BROWSER=x-www-browser:firefox:iceweasel:seamonkey:mozilla:epiphany:konqueror:chromium:chromium-browser:google-chrome:$BROWSER

This also explains why everybody saw firefox being used instead of their default browsers, or google-chrome. Not sure why this doesn't affect slack-electron...
