Discord crashing after update

General system Applications
1

I updated yesterday and now Discord splash screen pops on the screen then immediately closes. I’m running i3 but there were a lot of KDE packages in the update so I don’t know if that affected anything.

I’m running a laptop with an Intel Core i3 and using the intel IGP for graphics.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the Discord package just to see, but it still does the same thing.

Here is the tail end of what happens when I run it from the command line:

I found some similar crashes when searching but they were solved by making some changes to the nvidia power management profile, but that doesn’t make sense in my case.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried discord-canary?

discord-canary seems to be working.

Maybe the next discord update will get the normal package working for me.

But thank you for getting me up and running.

For what it is worth, it is broken for my brother on windows 10 too.

I get the same error with discord on my laptop. I haven’t updated my main PC yet and its still working fine there. Same version of discord on both, so clearly something else is breaking discord.

Are you using Intel Integrated graphics on your main PC?

I’ve been visiting family but when I get home tomorrow I was going to see if it was working on my desktop.

No, intel iGPU on the laptop and AMD discrete on the desktop. it may well be an intel iGPU issue.

I’ve just updated the desktop and no issue with Discord there.

Well today’s Discord update fixed the problem on my laptop. Discord launches and runs just fine again.

@xircon Thanks for getting me up and running so I could communicate while traveling.
