Discord randomly shutting down

laky

The title says it all , I wonder does anyone els have this issue where you are in discord room playing while chatting with people and all of the sudden mid game i see a millisecond pop up window and notice that discord has quite on its own.? I know i didn't hit any shortcut keys because it happened while i wasn't even pressing anything. Any suggestion is appreciated

Justin

Open it from a terminal and see if it puts out any info in the terminal when it crashes.

laky

Justin Sure, I will update if i notice anything.

Snoober
After seeing it crash 2-3 times i changed one setting and i haven't had a crash after it but not sure did it solve 100% i will try with that setting off and using terminal.
So Go to Discord>Settings>Linux settings>Minimize to tray (DISABLE) . So never close it anymore using X use minimize.

Justin This is what i get from terminal info, it is spamming every second in this order

mine crashes a lot randomly too

Justin

laky I want the output when it crashes, not while running. 🙂

laky

Justin Yes , well I tried to run it without terminal again and it crashed, bugged me ingame but not for too long.
I am now again running with terminal only getting those for now, but i'll keep updating if it quits.
Btw, in one of your posts i saw you mention the new call of duty modern warfare, do you have or already tryed to get the new Warzone battle royal mode to run on linux?Can't get any info on it yet.

Justin

Failed to get crash dump id.
Report Id:
Segmentation fault

Justin

laky I've got MW but I don't think it's Linux friendly. Mind you I haven't looked in a while. I keep Windows for this purpose.

As for the crash segfaults are not my specialty and need the dbginfo packages to help you debug it. Hopefully someone with that kinda knowledge comes along to assist soon.

laky

Justin I will resarch more about that matter with time i should get my answers regarding MW and linux.
I never done debuging stuff but that might help here since there is nothing currently helping , i was playing for like 1 h untill it crashed again randomly even with HW acc enabled no changes.
Thanks very much for your efforts helping me 😃

I've been having this problem too. It mostly happens when I'm in a call. I'll run discord from the terminal for a while and see if I can collect any info.

On reddit someone suggested to use ripcord instead. It has an appimage, so also on Solus it should run fine. I haven't tried myself, but just in case it's a nice alternative for anyone having these discord issues.

synth-ruiner

sgvd ooh I like this, thanks for the heads-up!

marc0tjevp

As I said, it happens quite a lot. So here's my output:

Crash dump id: 69e266cd-4618-4a21-847f-c3bc3244ecb9
Segmentation fault

It's the same as @laky 's output, but I got an ID. Does anyone know where I can find the crash dump?

JoshStrobl

Please submit your feedback about Discord crashes to them, they're the developers and it is a proprietary application, so even if we got a crash dunp we wouldn't be able to fix the application itself.

I've read somewhere on forums about this problem, and one of the comments was to try installing flatpaks version of discord, is that possible here on Solus?

Snoober

yup! I might try that again.

https://www.flatpak.org/setup/Solus/

After you set it up (follow the directions on that link) then just flatpak search discord should tell you the exact name.

laky

Snoober I did something similar for wine-staging repository might actually try install flatpaks repo and try it out..Btw , how do you mean again? You already had flatpaks discord installed or was it something els you needed it for?
Edit: Okay I got this
Application ID Version Branch Remotes Description
com.discordapp.Discord 0.0.10 stable flathub Chat client

Now how did you install it?
Edit2: Nvm , I managed to install it now i am going to test it out . Is it not possible to run it from terminal anymore after you install the flatpak version? running discord in terminal does nothing now.

Snoober

laky I can't remember I think I used flatpak before (maybe when I was using another distro).

To run in command line do flatpak run [app name] so:

flatpak run com.discordapp.Discord

laky

Snoober It just kicked me again with flatpak discord.. Its something to do with discord team.

Justin

laky I'd suggest like Josh said to report it to them.
