Arch Linux User Repository

For anyone who hasn't discovered this already, you can ameliorate the impact of delayed AUR version updates by setting the following in your ~/.config/discordcanary/settings.json file:

{
  // preceding settings (add a trailing comma ,)
  "SKIP_HOST_UPDATE": true
}

Latest version is missing debugedit as a make dependency.

Was a glibc issue. Appears to be fine now. https://archlinux.org/news/glibc-241-corrupting-discord-installation/

Huh, strange. I'm running 580 fine right now.

canary 364072 (9d96483) Host 0.0.580 x64 Build Override: N/A Linux 64-bit (6.12.10-arch1-1)

Btw, reinstalling by removing ~/.config/discordcanary/0.580 and checking electron logs may help

580 has a banner saying the installation is corrupt...

Thanks luis996, that fixed my issue!

I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but versions .576 and .577 error because of faulty discord_ztsd.node module. (The error in fact is a black screen freezing on startup, persistent even after deleting 0.0.577 folder and letting discord reinstall)

I just ran rm -rf /home/uzerlol/.config/discordcanary/0.0.577/modules/discord_zstd/discord_zstd.node and it is partially solved. (And should not create problems, afaik it is used to compress messages, reducing bandwidth).

As of 0.0.578-1 this no longer applies, as the issue seems to be fixed.

discord-canary-0.0.500.tar.gz is either corrupted on multiple servers or the sha512sum is in fact invalid

This will let the first person who runs into this flag the aur repo quickly and easily with the newest version.
