Hi there, I installed discord through pacman -S but I get this error when trying to run it through terminal:
[emilpriv@emilarch ~]$ discord
Discord 0.0.44

I'm running Arch Linux Sway

you cant run electron apps by default on sway, the same thing will happen with spotify for example
you can get over this by using an alternative client or adding electron flags to the .desktop launcher file to make sure it launches with the args that tell electron to support wayland
shadow locust
is it possible to use sway without wayland?
summer remnant
nope the point of sway is to replicate i3 but instead of using xorg, it uses Wayland
shadow locust
fak, but that means I have to replace all the configurations I made for wofi and waybar with alternatives for i3
summer remnant
depends to be honest
sway is a drop replacement for i3 and vice versa
they support each others configs, but your other gui elements might not
consider why you use wayland
if you really want it, you should try using xwayland
its a backend for xorg applications that uses wayland
shadow locust
does xwayland work for sway?
summer remnant
i believe so yes
shadow locust
oi, any chance you could guide me to get that done
summer remnant
no not possible on my end, just google it
shadow locust
alrighty, thank you!
neon gale
I dont yet, I'm trying to get it now
Should be the xorg-xwayland package
neon gale
same error
You probably don't have Xwayland then
shadow locust
yea I dont, I'm trying to get it now
but I dont see how its done
does any of y'all know how to install xwayland?
I don't get it
shadow locust
alright
I got it
does anyone know how I can enable the function keys
to increase and decrease volume
and brightness
and all the other ones

you can get over this by using an alternative client or adding electron flags to...
Or use xwayland
Oh it’s been mentioned
abstract mist
does anyone know how I can enable the function keys
You’ll need to create binds in your sway config for them. You can use wev to get key names.
shadow locust
its all fixed, thanks!
