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.

Hi there. Updated this to discord-0.0.28 in https://github.com/hbjydev/aur_discord_arch_electron :)

@SunRed thanks for letting me what's the cause. Figured out how to build it with electron22 and it works now. Thank you!

SunRed commented on 2023-07-04 19:48 (UTC)

@Smokus This happens when running Discord with an Electron version > 22. I suggest pinning this package to electron22 instead of using electron as a dependency.

Discord crashes as soon as I click on the "Share Your Screen" button. Terminal spits this error when the crash occurs:

ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times!
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  discord

@Zoddo, you're right. I froze electron updates since it broke hardware acceleration for me, seems like it's working again. Thank you.

Okay seems like hardware acceleration is still not working properly, I use those command flags, any recommendations? flags: --no-sandbox --ignore-gpu-blocklist -disable-features=UseOzonePlatform --use-gl=desktop --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --enable-blink-features=MiddleClickAutoscroll

@pure5665: Make sure that electron got updated at the same time.

The rebuild of electron got pushed to the repo a few minutes after icu... https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/electron25/

pure5665 commented on 2023-06-28 20:52 (UTC)

@Zoddo icu just got a new update and it does look like that discord_arch_electron doesn't work with the 73.2.1 version.

Error: /usr/lib/electron/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.72: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thank you for this software

Zoddo commented on 2023-06-25 14:16 (UTC)

@tee: The discord.desktop file already includes the Icon=discord line. As per the freedesktop.org standard, your DE should search the icon in a set of directories, including /usr/share/pixmaps/ (where this package drops the icon).

If this doesn't work, something is broken in your system. And you'll likely have the issue with many other applications because most apps in the repos only include the icon name in their .desktop file.

tee commented on 2023-06-25 07:54 (UTC)

Can you add 'Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/discord.png' to discord.desktop? That way the icon shows up properly for thisapp.

Thaodan commented on 2023-06-23 18:09 (UTC)

Another option is to use canary which works with the latest electron.
