[workaround] discord segfault when trying to screenshare in voicechat

Dennis · 2021-01-31 13:53:39

Since about a week ago, whenever I try to share an application window or a screen inside a Discord voice-chat channel, Discord briefly shows the thumbnails of screens and application windows and then segfaults.

I tried downgrading lib32-glibc and also tried downgrading Electron (as suggested on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/disc … _electron/ ) but the segfault prevails in both discord_arch_electron 0.0.13-2 from AUR and also in discord 0.0.13-1 from https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … 4/discord/ .

Does anyone else experience this issue and/or has an idea how to fix it?

Ran it through gdb but still looking for ideas on how to fix it.

While I have not found a real solution for the segfault yet, I am working around the issue by using the web version of Discord in a seperate browser session instead.

The workaround is (using google-chrome-stable from AUR):
1.) made a folder $HOME/Config/DiscordChrome
2.) made a launch script in $HOME/Config/launchDiscordChrome.sh:
google-chrome-stable --user-data-dir=$HOME/Config/DiscordChrome --new-window https://discord.com/channels/@me
