I have been using Slack (Desktop App) for months now, without any problem. Today, for no apparent reason, the laptop (HP Envy) froze and since then Slack is not working anymore. It seems to try to launch, but then nothing. Any ideas?
I've done sudo snap install slack --classic and now have the Slack snap application (v. 4.1.2). When I run slack from the terminal, it opens the app, with the sign in button. Clicking this opens the Slack login page in my default browser (chromium, snap app v. 78.0.3904.108), where I successfully login.
The trouble is that it says, "Signing you in to Slack. You should be redirected in a few moments." Then, a pop-up appears: "Open xdg-open?" I select "xdg-open" (instead of "cancel") and then......nothing happens. The Slack snap app still shows the sign in page, while the browser thinks I've logged in and just says "Signing you in to Slack."
Is this because of sandboxing issues with the Chromium snap app? I'd love for my Slack (multiple workspaces) to be in a separate app, instead of being trapped in a browser tab, so any and all help resolving this would be greatly appreciated! And apologies if this is posted in the wrong place; I'd be keen to know anywhere else that might better fix this.
Other possibly relevant details:
- Hardware: 2015 Macbook Pro 13" Retina
- OS: LXLE 18.04
If I open a link sent to me on Slack, the new browser window opened shows up as 'another' Slack window. Is there any way to have it correctly group the new browser window with the existing browser windows? I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 running gnome.
I've updated to Ubuntu 18.10 yesterday. Now I can't find a version of Slack which isn't crashing. Tried the version from snap and also the download from the site. Has someone found a working version?
I have a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.04, I installed Slack but it doesn't show any icon in the tray indicator:
