Arch Linux User Repository

As Powercord went EOL, I will continue maintaining a package for the Replugged fork instead of this one: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/replugged-electron-git/.

I have an interesting question. How would I use this package alongside firejail?

running firejail powercord throws me this:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-passwdmgr.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

Parent pid 69732, child pid 69733

Warning: /usr/sbin directory link was not blacklisted
Warning: cleaning all supplementary groups
Child process initialized in 87.53 ms
Check failed: sys_chroot("/proc/self/fdinfo/") == 0

Parent is shutting down, bye...

I have also created the file $HOME/.config/firejail/powercord.local with the contents:

whitelist ${HOME}/.config/discordcanary
whitelist ${HOME}/.config/powercord
whitelist ${HOME}/.local/share/powercord
whitelist /usr/share/powercord

whitelist ${HOME}/Pictures
whitelist ${HOME}/.cache/thumbnails

private-bin bash,cut,echo,egrep,electron,electron[0-9],electron[0-9][0-9],fish,grep,head,sed,sh,tclsh,tr,xdg-mime,xdg-open,zsh
ignore private-tmp
ignore novideo
ignore noaudio

but unfortunately this does not work either.

Fixed the patch, @gshinguji you need to install updates to powercord itself from the AUR, plugins should still update by themselves as normal

To fix the issue @Vukky is having, replace powercord-themes.patch with:

And replace its md5 sum with 8df68c2648d4c179c3b9450a7c8f5adc in the PKGBUILD.

Powercord keeps failing its in-app auto updates for seemingly no reason.

Revision: b64b144 Branch: v2

excellent, thank you!

Ok, i pushed a fix, see if it works

this package appears to be broken. I've cleanbuilt the package and removed all instances of it (/usr/share/powercord, ~/.local/share/powercord, and ~/.config/powercord) but it refuses to start up properly. any time I start Powercord I am met with the gray discord loading screen and nothing else.

upon doing CTRL + SHIFT + I, I can see a litany of errors if those would help solve this issue. additionally, there is a new Powercord commit, hence why I attempted to reinstall this package in the first place.

looks like discord's bootstrap code has to be modified for it to work properly, eek. maybe i'll make a package based on discord-canary-electron-bin
