[jaunty charm]

or

well im having issues with bash rn
as in the bash profiles since i accidently rm -rf'd them lol

[stiff onyx]

what did you have in it?

what's wrong with bash?

[jaunty charm]

everytime i opened a terminal i would never have this interface and it would automatically log me in

now i have to type in bash type my password ect

i need to do a clean install anyway to get rid of all of the useless stuff i have on here

and another issue

hyprland was bugging out really weird

lemme find it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/848349994082893884/1299777540935909518/image.png?ex=671e6faa&is=671d1e2a&hm=2198b353d8ff295452f91629bcf57e55b4ac202bbbb38dd47db683f88133c786&=&width=1440&height=304

[jaunty charm]

everytime i opened discord or vesktop

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/848349994082893884/1299767230166208604/image.png?ex=671e6610&is=671d1490&hm=ad6443d012cd0a8974859cdb78321254ba9a6470a2ad3b0f2138bc955c5486fd&

[stiff onyx]

how did you install discord?

[jaunty charm]

pacman

i dont use discord though

i use vesktop

[stiff onyx]

vesktop is not in the native repos, so you didn't use pacman

Warning: The usage of third-party clients, or any unofficial package or application that modifies the Discord client, is against Discord's Terms of Service and may get your account banned.

[jaunty charm]

ill stop using vesktop then

but it did this with other apps too

and the actual normal discord

[stiff onyx]

pacman -S discord

[jaunty charm]

heroic games launcher

[stiff onyx]

discord from the terminal

[jaunty charm]

which i got from flatpak

[stiff onyx]

show me the output

[jaunty charm]

so that could be the case

i think theyre bugged

yeah so it does this

then opens on KDE

lemme go to hyprland and show u what happens

@stiff onyx this is quite odd

if i open firefox and type in discord and load in

it loads my discord

if i dont it just gives the message

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/848349994082893884/1299767230166208604/image.png?ex=671e6610&is=671d1490&hm=ad6443d012cd0a8974859cdb78321254ba9a6470a2ad3b0f2138bc955c5486fd&

[stiff onyx]

remove vesktop then install the regular discord

[jaunty charm]

alright

[stiff onyx]

not from flatpak

[jaunty charm]

yep

from pacman

pacman -S discord

[stiff onyx]

does it work?

[jaunty charm]

lemme restart and check

and that error only came up for vesktop

and discord

[jaunty charm]

[stiff onyx]

[jaunty charm]

[stiff onyx]

pacman -S glow

xdg-ninja

[jaunty charm]

oh wait I did it just took way too long

[civic flicker]

Whats error?

[jaunty charm]

i had deleted my .zshrc file

which caused it to lose my bash profile

now everytime I enter my terminal I have to type in bash

[civic flicker]

No bash, but zsh

Its different shell

[jaunty charm]

oh

[stiff onyx]

[civic flicker]

Or copy it back from where it was downloaded

Or you can switch back to bash using chsh command

[stiff onyx]
