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.

In case you upgraded and did not keep the old version around, check out the archive https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/e/electron/ download both 11.1.1 files. Then install with pacman -U /path/to/electron-11.1.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

@mvdan It is indeed electron 11.2.0 to blame. Downgrading to 11.1.1 fixed the crash.

mvdan commented on 2021-01-13 09:32 (UTC)

Adding to what others said. The upgrade of community/electron to 11.2.0-1 is most likely to blame.

After a repository update I just did, Discord seems to not want to start for some reason I can't discern. It attempts to but then doesn't.

It checks for updates then just closes.

Is it possible to get notifications to appear as "Discord", not Electron?

https://i.imgur.com/vFaVADj.png is how the notifications appear under KDE.

EDIT: it was caused by firejail. My config was to start every program by firejail with onetime setup #firecfg. After cleaning the entries with firecfg --clean discord started without any problem. Although one or two months ago, I was able to start discord with firejail enabled.

My discord will not start. When I use the .desktop file, nothing happens.

Typing discord in terminal and I will get this:

VGrol commented on 2020-12-28 11:10 (UTC)

Would it be possible to fix the naming convention of the running progress, in order to better support Beautifuldiscord?

It looks for the running executable, normally named 'discord', but this package makes it run under electron. The tag under ps -eo comm=, is what I believe to be the trigger.

bitschiff commented on 2020-12-23 16:51 (UTC)

@Kyuunex there is a temporary solution. If you highlight the entire word before you right click on it, the spellchecker will show suggestions.

Kyuunex commented on 2020-12-22 20:23 (UTC)

spellcheck on this seems to be partially broken compared to the official, untouched discord. it does show the red underlines but it does not show suggestions
