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.

@qwerty-space there is a PR open for it, we didn't merge it yet because it's a little hackish: https://github.com/chaotic-aur/pkgbuild-discord-canary-electron-bin/pull/2

Just in case anyone else came to this package to try it- Powercord does not work with this package.

Bumped version. Sorry for the delay!

PedroHLC commented on 2021-08-28 00:10 (UTC)

@beyley you can create a ~/.config/electron-flags.conf and configure it just like chromium-flags.conf. One CLI parameter per line.

Sorry guys, can't bump version, I'm not home.

@PedroHLC, how do i enable Vulkan backend? i cant seem to find anything online, if there is a list of working electron-flags id like to have it so i can tweak it specifically for my system

Hi @m00nw4tch3r, please submit a PR to https://github.com/chaotic-aur/pkgbuild-discord-canary-electron-bin. Once merged, the chaotic-aur bot will upload your commit back here to AUR, with your authorship. (also, bump pkgrel and update .SRCINFO)

PedroHLC commented on 2021-06-21 13:54 (UTC)

I can guarantee that flags (Vulkan backend, accelerated-video, Skia, oop-rasterization, zero-copy, harmony, v8-cache) work. But sadly (at least last time I checked), there is none to enforce pipewire's screen sharing to work.

I imagine we need someone to patch the JS side of this and implement the interface @fine2006 mentioned (something similar was discussed in MS' teams repo), or maybe a flag in the chromium-side to wrap the old screen-sharing to work out-of-box with the new one.

If someone comes with it, feel free to submit a PR to https://github.com/chaotic-aur/pkgbuild-discord-canary-electron-bin and the github-action will resubmit it here once it gets merged.

This uses electron, which can be configured with ~/.config/electron-flags.conf the same way you do with chromium-flags.conf

fine2006 commented on 2021-06-21 13:31 (UTC)

@allexj I face the same issue but it seems like discord hasn't implemented org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast, which is required for sharing things.
