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.

This package is starting to get on my nerves with how slow updates are just make python3 / bash script and be done with it already

Yes, thank you. Working after deleting the discord.conf file now.

SunRed commented on 2024-06-09 23:36 (UTC)

@jesserockz My bad, I thought I tested that. Should be fixed now.

It seems the latest update has broken the launcher if someone doesn't have ~/.config/discord.conf

$ discord
/usr/bin/discord: line 17: PATCH_KRISP: unbound variable

@intelfx: Yeah, the original author submitted the package with this name because they weren't aware of the naming guidelines.

There were attempts to rename this package, but they all have been aborted because renaming a package doesn't work correctly on AUR ("replaces" in PKGBUILD has no effects in AUR) and the package has too many users to just break it by deleted/merging this one.
So we are sort of stuck with this package name unless some support for replaces is added in AUR at some point.

intelfx commented on 2024-06-03 22:42 (UTC)

Is there any reason this package has a name inconsistent with every packaging guideline there is?

DodoGTA commented on 2024-05-17 15:14 (UTC)

@Zoddo Does the issue still exist in Electron 30.0.6? Also can you provide your software setup for reproduction purposes (because I don't personally have the issue)?

journalctl is almost unreadable due to DiscordProcessObserver: Skipping '/usr/lib/electron29/electron' being sent 15 times every second, anyway to prevent this?
