A shoutout to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord_arch_electron/ (use that one if you want stable instead of canary!) :p

This is just a PKGBUILD based on the original discord-canary PKGBUILD and the discord_arch_electron PKGBUILD to use with Canary instead.

Discord on the latest version uses Electron 22 by itself. Might be worth using the official version if that is what you're after.

!! As Electron 28 joined the official repos, I've pinned this to electron26 instead, as using Electron 28 results on a crash at startup. If it ever works with Electron 28, please let me know.

in order to be able to share the ENTIRE screen, or to be able to share wayland only (not xwayland) windows it's not enough to have Pipewire installed, because there's one chromium flag to manually enable pipewire support. I don't know how to enable it in this package so I tried it using discord via Google Chrome browser, and enabling "enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer" flag in chrome://flags, and now it works.

Is there a way to enable this flag in this package without the need to use Google Chrome to be properly share screen?

EDIT: you can do the same thing with Firefox

@Seqularise I was able to fix the crashing by passing the following flag to electron: --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames

Also fixes Chromium issues. My full flags are (not sure if --enable-gpu does anything, haven't tested): --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames --enable-gpu

Its crashing kwin-wayland with linux-5.11 I can reproduce this by downgrading\updating kernel

Looks like they added Electron 11.2.3 to the repos. It works now! I might delete the discord-canary-electron10-bin package now.

@sperg512 Ah. It wasn't tagged on electronjs.org. Should've checked github haha

I'll update electron-ozone tomorrow. One less patch to mantain is always good. I guess electron will be updated in the upcoming days on the main repos.

@Kodehawa incredible lie https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v11.2.2

@sperg512 11.2.2 hasn't been released yet, sadly. Should be fine once it released. I patched electron-ozone to include a fix. Maybe open a bug report to the arch guys so it could be backported to 11.1.1?

yeah i was also changing it myself, no worries there.

HOWEVER discord is now being insanely overweight, giving me a segfault when I launch! even after I updated electron and everything! hurray!

edit: actually, that segfault was caused by electron. I thought I had 11.2.2 since that was just released but on further inspection that is not the case.

I created a package named discord-canary-electron10-bin for now which is just this package but with electron10.

@sperg512 Download the PKGBUILD, and change the relevant stuff to what's here: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=discord_arch_electron&id=430c1ca7b9fdb668a6c18db215b6f6c8f4c1d766

It's not really hard to do, but I do use it with electron 11. Would sort of defeat the purpose of it IMO. I patched the build of electron-ozone with a fix if you're interested so the latest electron-ozone works fine.
