SIGSEGV on Discord

Hello.

After downloading Discord/Webcord from AUR (or from Garuda Gamer), and launching it, I’m getting a SIGSEGV (segmentation fault) error after the checking for updates screen:

I’m using AMD Ryzen + Garuda + Hyprland, i’ve just download it. Has someone had the same problem? Thanks for your help!

Discord startup crash (#1) · Issues · Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages /...

It’s a proprietary program. All we do is take the binary package they provide and distribute it. You’ll need to file a report upstream. We can’t really fix it.

The issue is most likely different, but if this is the position of Arch, much the less we can do it here in Garuda…

Okey, thanks :(. I’m having troubles with other packages, I think it might be AMD. In another computer with Intel works well

I recommend just making discord a web app an never think about it again. It will give you non stop problems.
Could also try the flatpak but i dont think screen sharing on wayland works still due to the old electron version they use.

Hi!

I only wanted to say that i’ve already solved the issue. There seems to be a problem in the combination AMD + Arch + Electron. Electron is not well supported, and all the apps based on it returns a SIGSEGV.

You can solve the issue by changing your Mouse Cursor in GTK settings: instead of Adawait, choose other (for example, Sweet-cursors).
