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.

@OJFord: re Screenshare: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/38833 was merged & released a few days ago. Now we need to wait for Slack to pick up a new Electron version, hopefully soon.

Same crash on screen-share with sway. Has anyone found a workaround (is it perhaps a missing dependency?) besides downgrading to v4.29.149-1 (reportedly working below)?.

@MarsSeed What you are asking for makes no sense. If you want a version of this package that does not have electron in it, you already have slack-electron. If the electron bundled in this package were removed, what would be the point of this package?

Adjust for new version
change line 6 to:

pkgver=4.33.73


change line 18 to:

b2sums=('fea247de1899880bd1107b20335c1d8716d28884bb3ea232a016e2237cc23e57d5b1d90d8daae179e6132389485adba34681c4effaa52d6625d2a26e4f72ff41'


It worked to me

Please remove the included Chrome/Electron engine, and use the Arch repo version as dependency.

Like in this package: slack-electron.

@mlerota it is exactly the same on my device. If I start screensharing on 4.32.122-1 using Gnome Wayland I get a SIGSEGV. On 4.29.149-1 it works as expected :)

Crashes when you try to share the screen. Both versions 4.32.122-1 and 4.31.155-1. The one that works is 4.29.149-1. On Gnome Wayland.

@boredland @OJFord The desktop file will not be modified any more than it already is because Arch Linux packages should always be as identical as possible to the upstream. The current modifications it has are simply because they are wrong in the original.

On the other hand I am not going to put a 'setconf' dependency to simply modify a line, when by default you already have the patch command because it is mandatory to install any AUR package.

That said, this does not prevent you from modifying the desktop file as you wish. Simply copy the file from /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop to $HOME/.local/share/applications and modify it.

mkdir -p $HOME/.local/share/applications
cp /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop $HOME/.local/share/applications
vim $HOME/.local/share/applications/slack.desktop

Once you have modified it, the .desktop of your home will be used instead of the one in /usr/share/applications/ (You may need to restart the session).

OJFord commented on 2023-03-17 10:29 (UTC)

@ogarcia I see you accepted @bordeland's patch, any chance of a release with that?

Though, if I understand correctly, I can just add it to the .desktop entry myself in the mean time. Any way to have it read $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/electron-flags.conf? Since that's what the wiki points to to enable wayland for all Electron applications, but it seems it isn't picked up by Slack.

boredland commented on 2023-03-01 07:45 (UTC)

hi there! I'd like to propose that we add ozone hints to the .desktop file. Afaik this should work fine for x11 and wayland alike and would be just a quality of life improvement (and render tons of other aur packages useless for most clients).

I created a little patch here: https://github.com/boredland/aur-slack-desktop/commit/69bf61cb53026a3b3eac2e2cc2f28154d8566328
