Running Ubuntu 21.04 on ThinkPad X1 Carbon 9th generation. When I suspend the computer, Slack closes down. Happens every time. Notified Slack, but wondering if anyone else here has encountered this.

UPDATE: See below. Going back to 20.04.3 fixed the issue, and Slack is working on it.

Try removing Slack cache directory after verifying slack is closed:

rm -r ~/snap/slack/common/.cache

So steps are:

  1. Close slack
  2. Delete cache folder via rm -rf ~/snap/slack/common/.cache
  3. Re-run slack, lock computer and verify it's still there
  4. think about it.. And miss the quite period when slack was shut down and you didn't notice, or - "didn't notice"

I went back to 20.04.3, which solved the problem.

Slack is aware of the issue and is working on it.
