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.

@HunabKu, @LevitatingRein, @gshinguji, let me be clear, I have encountered the same crashing while joining a screenshare on Discord under X11 on the following discord packages :

  • discord_arch_electron from the AUR.
  • discord-canary-electron-bin from the AUR.
  • discord from [community]
  • powercord-electron-git from the AUR.

Laptop Ryzen 7 3700U with an AMD iGPU (RX Vega 10).

HunabKu commented on 2022-06-04 00:46 (UTC)

@HunabKu because i've only th bug in Wayland, but not in x11. It seems that something else comes into play.

AkechiShiro commented on 2022-05-20 20:23 (UTC)

@HunabKu I'm under X11 and encountering the same bug, so I don't know why you said it is a Wayland only issue for screen share crashing discord.

<deleted-account> commented on 2022-05-20 18:55 (UTC)

Discord crashes anytime a stream is opened and it refuses to load videos with audio while in call.

Second issue may be due to me using PipeWire, but the streams still remain an issue as I see many other users with this problem.

@LevitatingRein seems to be a Wayland issue.

@Neko-san me too, it's driving me insane... but the issue is for any notifications, not just Discord. I'm using mako notifications in sway, and even clicking a Signal notification crashes Signal.

Neko-san commented on 2022-05-06 12:33 (UTC)

Clicking on notifications has frequently been causing me crashes

Getting:

/usr/lib/electron/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.70: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

icu was recently updated.

Levitating commented on 2022-04-18 19:58 (UTC)

I can't open any screenshares, Discord immediately crashes. That's the only issue I've been having.

mkaito commented on 2022-04-13 16:01 (UTC)

I've done some testing with various electron versions and flags that I've seen mentioned.

I've gotten as far as starting it with electron 16, but I get no window decorations. There's apparently a fix for that, merged in January, and backported to electron 17. Discord doesn't seem to work on 17 though, some JS error which I assume is an upstream problem.
