@cysec There doesn't appear to be anything I can do about that. I would suggest disabling debug packages, or if you really require them perhaps you could build/install each in turn, deleting the offending artifact between runs.

Getting update failures with this package and https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/teams-for-linux installed at the same time due to the debug packages containing the same build id...

/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2e/a67fb4a9945e869eb463e0ad868599be33d813 exists in both 'teams-for-linux-debug' and 'slack-desktop-wayland-debug' /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/2e/a67fb4a9945e869eb463e0ad868599be33d813.debug exists in both 'teams-for-linux-debug' and 'slack-desktop-wayland-debug'

I'm re-installing slack-desktop-wayland in a fresh install and it seems like it still requires xwayland. I'm wondering if it should be added as a dependency or if there's something missing in the config - the intent isn't fully clear.

Anyone else unable to resize the window? Mine seems stuck at a small size, but not blurriness or other issues.

Starting today (weird because there hasn't been an update in a bit) I'm seeing the same behavior CommanderRedYT described, even when using the .desktop file. It's not an issue with just this package, I also tried with the slack-desktop package and I see the same behavior. The issue appears to be the ozone flags. If I remove --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland it works (albeit in xwayland), otherwise it crashes. I've tried downgrading and wiping my ~/.config/Slack directory and I still see the same problem, which is irritating. Could be something got screwed up local to my machine, or there's some other issue that's just breaking Wayland support on slack

EDIT tried again a few hours later and it's fine :eyeroll: just goes to show, if you leave a problem alone long enough it'll fix itself :eyes:

@CommanderRedYT it needs to be started using the Desktop entry. If you want to avoid that you could try using dex /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop as suggested in the wiki or $(grep Exec /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop | cut -d= -f2). Latest is running fine for me.

Unfortunately with the latest version when running /usr/bin/slack there is no output for a while and then there is information about deprecated crash dumps. Nothing really happens after that, so it probably crashes instantly.
