Slack 2.8.0 fails to actually connect about flathub

[sivakov512]

I have the same problem

@nedrichards, can you take a look?

Same happens here. In the meantime downgraded it following steps from Flatpak wiki and removing ~/.var/app/com.slack.Slack:

ostree --repo=.local/share/flatpak/repo pull --depth=250 --commit-metadata-only flathub app/com.slack.Slack/x86_64/stable
flatpak --user update --commit=e1107b0524cad9767dbc47497790d42706656073f517f840d4cf1b2c92559e0a com.slack.Slack

[nedrichards]

Yep, will look.

[nedrichards]

Oh bloody hell. Let's revert to 2.7.1 for now - I've verified that continues to work and doesn't need you to delete your cache.

(I've also worked out the really stupid QA fail that led to me 'testing' a version of Slack from a completely different repo when suggesting that PR, apologies)

[barthalion]

Pushed the revert. It should hit the repos really soon.

[nedrichards]

I've fixed this here flathub/com.slack.Slack@d3fbcc9 it turns out to have added a new dependency on libxkbfile. (thanks to the team over at jessfraz/dockerfiles#299 for providing a helpful search result when I eventually found the correct error message)

@nedrichards Atom also depends on libxkbfile so if this is a new electron dep we should just add it to the baseapp.

[nedrichards]

@TingPing yes - if it's general it should certainly go into the baseapp. I wanted to get this fixed first and then do some electron focused research.

[nedrichards]

It's not currently in the Electron Linux CI list of deps, but it does look common in actual apps.

[TingPing]

libsecret is also somewhat common it seems.
