Microsoft Team does not open, tries to open but does not do it

Microsoft Team does not open, it tries to open but does not. it stays there in the background. i installed the one from the Aur repositories and nothing. i think it is because of video driver problems.

Teams from Microsoft ceases to launch

@lbolsen There’s an incompatibility with its sandbox of the old electron release they use and the glibc update to 2.35. Try running it with the --no-sandbox argument in terminal. If this works then you can edit the /usr/share/applications/teams.desktop and edit the “Exec” line in “[Desktop Entry]” to contain the argument. See the latest comments on the AUR page. Note that this method comes with some security risks so maybe you can continue using the web/flatpak version till the issue is resolve…

[Stable Update] 2022-02-27 - Kernels, Mesa 21.3.7, Plasma 5.24.2, Frameworks 5.91, Pipewire 0.3.47, Toolchain, Gstreamer 1.20, Nvidia 510.54

The update (which came as a surprise) broke two of my programs: MS Teams didn’t startup anymore, giving my just a blank white screen. I had to add --no-sandbox --disable-gpu-sandbox to the invocation, editing the .desktop file. My MacOS VM running on KVM/QEMU doesn’t work anymore, giving me a kernel panic after the OpenCore boot. No idea why, worked perfectly before the update. I’d rather deliberately decide to apply a kernel update, instead of getting one applied buried under a bunch of non…

if it was after an upgrade, it stopped working after i upgraded my computer. i am new to linux, i don’t know what command to use to fix it. if i wait, will it fix itself in the future?

There’s an incompatibility with its sandbox of the old electron release they use and the glibc update to 2.35. Try running it with the --no-sandbox argument in terminal → teams --no-sandbox. If this works then you can follow the below steps to fix the issue:

mkdir -p "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/applications"
cp -a "/usr/share/applications/teams.desktop" "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/applications/teams.desktop"
sed -i -e 's,teams %U,teams --no-sandbox %U,' "${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/applications/teams.desktop"

Now you should be able to launch teams as usual. In case you have Teams to start automatically at startup you must also run this:

sed -i -e 's,teams %U,teams --no-sandbox %U,' "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/autostart/teams.desktop"

Note that this method comes with some security risks so maybe you can use the web or flatpak version till the issue is resolved upstream.

it works with this command: teams --no-sandbox, it opens without problems and works perfectly. thank you very much my friend.
