Slack won't launch

[ManticoreFalco]

When I install Slack through the flatpak, it won't launch from the applications menu or the terminal. If I use flatpack run com.slack.Slack, it reports env: ‘Temp/Google’: No such file or directory. If I install it with the .deb, though, it works fine - but I want the automatic updates.

Linux Mint 22 running Gnome 46. It happens in Cinnamon too.

Works here on Linux Mint 22, delete ~/.var/app/com.slack.Slack and try again?

Alas, that did not resolve it. >_<

Same here:

$ flatpak run com.slack.Slack
env: ‘skrár’: No such file or directory

I have my environment set to Icelandic which makes my download directory called “Sóttar skrár”. I tried setting XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR=$HOME/Downloads but it didn’t help.

Changing XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR value in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to anything without a space helps.

Feel free to choose this. Sure to some unrelated catastrophic issues, I had to remove Linux and have not reinstalled it yet. Thank you all.
