# ScudCloud - Linux Client for Slack
ScudCloud is a **non official** open-source Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mint, Arch, Fedora) desktop client for [Slack](http://slack.com).
ScudCloud uses the [QT](http://qt-project.org) library + [Webkit](http://www.webkit.org/) to render the web version of Slack, but using the [QWebkit-Native bridge](http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtwebkit-bridge.html) to improve desktop integration with:
* multiple teams support,
* native system notifications,
* count of unread direct mentions at launcher/sytray icon,
* alert/wobbling on new messages,
* channels quicklist (Unity only),
* optional "Close to Tray".
# Install
## Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Mint and Debian
Please, first update your system with a `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade`. If not, ScudCloud will crash with some old components.
Then, to install it under **Ubuntu/Kubuntu** (14.04, 14.10, 15.04), **Mint** and **Debian**, open a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run:
```term
sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:rael-gc/scudcloud
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scudcloud
```
If you want **spell checking**, add the `hunspell` dictionary for your language. For `en-us`:
sudo apt-get install hunspell-en-us
If you want to use a Slack icon instead of ScudCloud (which is not possible to include in this package due to copyright), download [any 128px Slack icon](https://www.google.com.br/search?q=slack+icon&tbm=isch&source=lnt&tbs=isz:ex,iszw:128,iszh:128) to your home folder saving as `scudcloud.png` and run:
```term
sudo dpkg-divert --add --rename --divert /opt/scudcloud/resources/scudcloud.png.real /opt/scudcloud/resources/scudcloud.png
sudo cp ~/scudcloud.png /opt/scudcloud/resources/
sudo chmod +r /opt/scudcloud/resources/scudcloud.png
```
## Ubuntu 12.04
For Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), **additionally** you'll need to update `qtwebkit`: Slack is not compatible with `libqtwebkit4` package shipped with 12.04, hanging in the `Loading` screen. Please add the following PPAs (for updated `qtwebkit`):
```term
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:immerrr-k/qtwebkit4-backport
sudo apt-get update
```
## Arch Linux
There is a [PKGBUILD available][pkgbuild] on the Arch User Repository. You can install it
using whichever AUR method you use. For instance, if you use cower:
```term
cower -d scudcloud
cd scudcloud
makepkg -si
```
[pkgbuild]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scudcloud/
## Fedora and openSUSE
There are repositories available for these distributions. All you need to do is follow [these instructions][build_suse].
[build_suse]: http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Amoonwolf%3Ascudcloud&package=scudcloud
## Manual Install
The manual install is intended for not supported distros (if you want to contribute with a package for your distro, you're welcome!).
First, you'll need to install at least packages for `python3`, `python-qt4` (`qt4` for `python3`) and `python-dbus` (`dbus` library for `python3`).
Then run the below script: it'll download the code and install it:
```bash
wget https://github.com/raelgc/scudcloud/archive/v1.0.72.tar.gz
tar -xvf v1.0.72.tar.gz
cd scudcloud-1.0.72
SOURCE="scudcloud-1.0"
INSTALL="/opt/scudcloud"
sudo mkdir -p $INSTALL/lib
sudo mkdir -p $INSTALL/resources
sudo cp $SOURCE/lib/*.py $INSTALL/lib
sudo cp $SOURCE/resources/* $INSTALL/resources
sudo cp $SOURCE/scudcloud $INSTALL
sudo cp $SOURCE/LICENSE $INSTALL
sudo cp $SOURCE/scudcloud.desktop /usr/share/applications
sudo cp $SOURCE/systray/hicolor/* /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps
sudo cp $SOURCE/systray/mono-dark/* /usr/share/icons/mono-dark/scalable/apps
sudo cp $SOURCE/systray/mono-light/* /usr/share/icons/mono-light/scalable/apps
sudo ln -sf $INSTALL/scudcloud /usr/bin/scudcloud
```
# Troubleshooting
#### 1. Default domain
You can change the default domain editing or just deleting the config file:
~/.config/scudcloud/scudcloud.cfg
#### 2. Where is the package for my distro?
If not listed above, you're welcome [to contribute](/CONTRIBUTING.md). In this meanwhile, try the [Manual Install](#manual-install) instructions.
#### 3. Spell checking is not working
Make sure you have the following packages installed:
* `libqtwebkit-qupzillaplugins`
* `python3-hunspell`
* `hunspell-en-us`
#### 4. `Keep me signed in` is not working
For some reason, ScudCloud was not able to create the configuration folder. Please, manually create this folder:
~/.config/scudcloud/
#### 5. How to disable Flash?
Flash is required to display embedded videos, but if you don't care, disable it starting with:
scudcloud --no_plugins=True
#### 6. How to start ScudCloud minimized?
You can start ScudCloud minized to tray with:
scudcloud --minimized=True
#### 7. High DPI Support
ScudCloud offers zoom support. The zoom level will be persisted between sessions.
- Increase zoom pressing <kbd>Ctrl +</kbd>, usually fired with <kbd>Ctrl Shift =</kbd>
- Decrease with <kbd>Ctrl -</kbd>
- Reset it with <kbd>Ctrl 0</kbd>
