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.

@b2c does this work for you? if i run

sudo grep -ar WebRTC /usr/lib/slack/resources/

then I get nothing. So the sed line shouldn't match and replace anything.

(If I do the same replacement in /usr/lib/slack/slack (the main binary, the only place where WebRTCPipeWireCapturer does occur), I get a segfault.)

fyi: It seems Slack currently has hardcoded disabled wayland screensharing. To make it work again I had to run:

sudo sed -i'.backup' -e 's/,"WebRTCPipeWireCapturer"/,"LebRTCPipeWireCapturer"/' /usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar

See:

Maybe this fix can be incorporated into the AUR package at buildtime as well?

unfortunately I confirm that 4.34.120 breaks again screen sharing :(

Arch on EndeavourOS

Wayland Gnome 44.4

I contacted Slack's support, they are aware of the problem.

Updating to 4.34.120 "borked" screen share again, options being shown are Xwayland windows and screens are blacked out.

My desktop file contains the following Exec line: Exec=/usr/bin/slack --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations,WebRTCPipeWireCapturer --ozone-platform-hint=auto -s %U. Currently on sway 1.8.1.

Downgrading to 4.34.115 gets rid of the issue :)

I can confirm that 4.34.115 finally fixed the screencast issue, thanks to the maintainer ogarcia for the quick response.

The only "problem" is that i need to select 2 times the screen on sharing select but, after that, all works flawlessly.

Niiiiiice 4.34.115 finally indeed fixed screen sharing on my Wayland Arch.

Based on official changelog https://slack.com/release-notes/linux they fixed the screencast issue on 4.34.115 released on September 5, 2023:

Linux users on Wayland noticed that screensharing in huddles would crash the app as soon as sharing ended. No good deed goes unpunished, they say. We're working to change that to "No bad bug goes unfixed." Please resume sharing with impunity.

4.33.90 is still crashing on screenshare for me too (sway, wlroots)

project0 commented on 2023-08-08 16:49 (UTC)

4.33.84 is still crashing for me on screenshare attempts (wayland). Gonna stay longer on 4.29.149 :-(

Just wanted to say thank you. We appreciate the most likely unpaid job you're doing to keep this up to date.
