Seems like the electron and freetype people are working on a fix. I can confirm that 2.6.2 works for now.

Downgrading to freetype-2.6.2 works, but all the rendering of pictures is messed up.

@subjectdenied do you have a link to someone describing the issue in detail? Would like to know the "why". =)
ogarcia commented on 2016-02-25 11:38 (UTC)
@subjectdenied, it's a strange behaviour that you need the lines `source` and `sha256sums` cause in PKGBUILD guidelines says that you can use `source` or `source_architecture`.
I'm using `yaourt` and don't give me any problems. Even if I download the PKGBUILD and do `makepkg` it works well.
What AUR helper are you using?

the infinity reloading problem comes from freetype-2.6.3, downgrade to the version before, and the bug is gone. this seems to be a bug with electron apps at the moment, gitkraken has this problem too (and is also fixed by downgroading freetype)
beside of that, i have a problem with this pkgbuild, it can be installed only after adding these two lines:
source=()
sha256sums=()
if this lines are missing, i get errors of "xyz should be an array", and the installation fails

@quest the Acknowledgements don't work in the original package for same problem. But I'll fix it.
quest commented on 2016-02-24 22:44 (UTC)
Also noticed that in Help the Acknowledgements don't work. There is a missing LICENSE file in the resources directory.

Here is the output I see when starting slack...
```
Creating Slack Application
(electron) submitUrl is deprecated. Use submitURL instead.
(electron) ipc module is deprecated. Use require("electron").ipcMain instead.
[Error: Failed to get path]
(electron) loadUrl is deprecated. Use loadURL instead.
```
If you need an strace I can provide that as well.

I have the same issue. The new version just infinitely loads. I even zapped ~/.config/Slack and it didn't help.

Please, don't ask for add
lsb-releaseas dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.And before asking for any other dependency as
makeorpatchor whatever, please read the wiki.
