Executing slack on the terminal emulator does not produce any output nor start Slack. The only thing is the following Syslog record:
out 15 16:58:36 galadriel kernel: traps: slack[15792] trap int3 ip:5631583631a5 sp:7fff019e0850 error:0 in slack[5631563e6000+531d000]
What I’ve done
Reinstall slack
Delete ~/.config/Slack
Installed slack.deb, which worked

Caution: Slack for Linux is in beta. We’re still busy adding features and ironing out potential
issues.
Slack brings team communication and collaboration into one place so you can get more work done,
whether you belong to a large enterprise or a small business. Check off your to-do list and move
your projects forward by bringing the right people, conversations, tools, and information you need
together. Slack is available on any device, so you can find and access your team and your work,
whether you’re at your desk or on the go.
Scientifically proven (or at least rumored) to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and
more productive. We hope you’ll give Slack a try.
