I have found myself with the same problem. I solved by removing by hand the slack package, which is just some admin tool.
If your are on the directory you downloaded the package, this should do the work:
sudo apt-get remove slack && sudo dpkg -i slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
Have below my full log:

I also had the same problem. I dig little deeper into the problem and found that I had slack installed from Ubuntu Software Center.
Then I removed slack from Software Center, and reinstalled slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
. It installed properly.
Steps:
- Open Ubuntu Software Center
- Search for slack, and if found uninstall it
- Reinstall
slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
.
Whenever I reinstall Slack, I get the same problem - so I'm just going to use the web app.

I was having a problem with this as well and none of the answers I've seen yet have worked for me until I tried the following:
Download the file from the Slack download page. Instead of opening it in the Software Center, open it in the folder it downloaded to and right click and "Extract here". After extracting, in the terminal enter sudo dpkg -i ./Downloads/slack-desktop-2.8.1-amd64.deb
. Make sure that you check your slack-desktop version number (i.e. 2.8.1) and that you put the exact path to the file (mine was in Home/Downloads).
After entering the code above, I saw Slack in my applications, ready to go.
If you got the.deb
package from their website and you're installing viadpkg
why "extract here" at the first place? I don't think there's a need for that.

If these answers still do not work for you, check that ~/.config/Slack belongs to you and not to root
:
sudo chown -R username:groupname .config/Slack

I also had the same problem. I dig little deeper into the problem and found that I had slack installed from Ubuntu Software Center.
Then I removed slack from Software Center, and reinstalled slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
. It installed properly.
Steps:
- Open Ubuntu Software Center
- Search for slack, and if found uninstall it
- Reinstall
slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
.
Whenever I reinstall Slack, I get the same problem - so I'm just going to use the web app.

I was having a problem with this as well and none of the answers I've seen yet have worked for me until I tried the following:
Download the file from the Slack download page. Instead of opening it in the Software Center, open it in the folder it downloaded to and right click and "Extract here". After extracting, in the terminal enter sudo dpkg -i ./Downloads/slack-desktop-2.8.1-amd64.deb
. Make sure that you check your slack-desktop version number (i.e. 2.8.1) and that you put the exact path to the file (mine was in Home/Downloads).
After entering the code above, I saw Slack in my applications, ready to go.
If you got the.deb
package from their website and you're installing viadpkg
why "extract here" at the first place? I don't think there's a need for that.

If these answers still do not work for you, check that ~/.config/Slack belongs to you and not to root
:
sudo chown -R username:groupname .config/Slack

Can you instead try
sudo dpkg -i slack-desktop-2.1.2-amd64.deb
and maybesudo apt -f install
if there are dependency issues?– edwinksl

Just tried it, got the following:
