After a chat with @Zoddo and me just taking too long to come back to this, there should everything now be included that was in my old discord-electron package some migrated from (Krisp patcher, Wayland, autostart fix). Additionally I replaced the scrappy rizin patcher with a Python script someone from the nix community kindly made available.
Instead of checking against a checksum to know whether the Krisp binary was patched the script is run on every start of the client that results in slightly longer start times but has the advantage that we don't have to update the package if Discord ever silently updates the binary between client updates over their modules api.

Cheers

Starting with 0.0.26-1 (2023-03-31):
  • Switched back to the main electron package (electron22)
  • Watching cameras and streams is working again
Starting with 0.0.20-1 (2022-09-15):
  • Bumped electron16 to electron19 (I still have blocking issues with electron20)
  • Added support for $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf: this works like electron-flags.conf, you can set in this file the command line flags you want to pass to electron when running Discord (there are some useful flags in the wiki, especially if you are experiencing lag in the Discord UI).
FAQ

Discord requires an update, but this package isn't yet updated
Check the wiki.

The Discord UI is lagging
Try to add the flags recommended in the wiki in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/discord-flags.conf.

Krisp not working
This is an issue that will likely never be fixed for this package. The Krisp module checks if Discord binaries are signed by Discord, which is not the case with this package.
See this comment and this GitHub issue for more details and possibles workarounds.

As ChrisLane suggested, I got discord to launch by editing /usr/lib/discord to the following:

#!/bin/sh
exec electron /usr/lib/discord/app.asar.unpacked $@

Traneptora commented on 2020-12-05 14:32 (UTC)

Would it make sense to rename this package to discord-arch-electron from discord_arch_electron just for naming conventions? ngl the underscores are annoying me a bit

@jabra

Run discord using electron /usr/lib/discord/app.asar. However the /usr/bin/discord was updated to reflect this change as far as I can see.

The problem was that /usr/lib/discord/app was renamed to /usr/lib/discord/app.asar

Hi, I'm getting this error since the last update. Any there any known fixes?

Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/discord/app

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/discord/app'
Require stack:
- /usr/lib/electron/resources/default_app.asar/main.js

Since the update yesterday, I've been unable to launch Discord. I get the following error:

Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/discord/app.asar

Error parsing /usr/lib/discord/app.asar/package.json: Unexpected end of JSON input

Guessing Discord is perhaps not compatible with electron 11.0.1 just yet.

Edit: Launching from /usr/lib/discord/app.asar.unpacked worked

I noticed that the Discord window doesn't get the proper icon with this package, opposed to the situation with the discord package.

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

@huyizheng Your updated PKGBUILD works for me, thank you.

@NoXPhasma @MGThePro I created an updated PKGBUILD to resolve this issue. BetterDiscord works fine at least in my case.

@NoXPhasma @MGThePro I found a temporary workaround of BetterDiscord:

Run sudo asar p /usr/lib/discord/app /usr/lib/discord/app.asar

Then modify /usr/bin/discord and change /usr/lib/discord/app into /usr/lib/discord/app.asar. Now BetterDiscord should work.
