I am having a small issue with the Slack networking platform app, which usually works well in Mageia.
My desktop PC is currently running Mageia Cauldron X86_64 (kernel 5.15.2-desktop-2.mga9) with the Cinnamon environment.
I installed the Slack app (slack-4.13.0-0.1.fc21.x86_64.rpm) but I can't get the app to start.
When trying from the command line I get the following:
- Code: Select all
$ slack

So Slack crashes and I suspect that the issue is related to this warning " 'BrowserWindow.getDevToolsExtensions' is deprecated and will be removed. Please use 'session.getAllExtensions' instead."
which I don't know what it means.
In contrast, running the app on Mageia 8 stable X86_64 (kernel 5.14.17-desktop-1.mga8), Cinnamon works as expected. I don't get the warning above, nor a fatal error (obviously).
I'm looking around to find out how to fix this, but if anybody has clues to provide me, I will gladly welcome it.
Many thanks for your time!
