hi
empty trench
Does firefox only crash when running it as a background process?
or does it always happen?
knotty rapids
When I do firefox & and close the terminal windows it just closes
empty trench
When I do firefox & and close the terminal windows it just closes
oh this is normal
knotty rapids
Oh nvm then
Well I need help setting up discord electron
Theres literally no page for it as far as I know
empty trench
I think you need to do firefox & disown to actually run it independently of the terminal
empty trench
Well I need help setting up discord electron
You should be able to just launch it like normal
knotty rapids
well the thing is I dont even know what like normal is
empty trench
I think you need to do `firefox & disown` to actually run it independently of th...
But the usual way of launching applications is through an application launcher like dmenu or rofi
empty trench
wofi is a wayland clone of rofi. They do the same thing
knotty rapids
alr
empty trench
there is also rofi-wayland which is a fork of rofi but for wayland
rofi-wayland and wofi are pretty similar
whole grove
wots goin on
empty trench
Rofi-wayland is gonna be the closest to the original program though

I dont know how to get discord electron to work
empty trench
I dont know how to get discord electron to work
When you launch it what happens?
and what error do you get on the terminal?
knotty rapids
I dont know how to launch it in the first place
thats the issue
Atops says Im supposed to use the wofi menu
empty trench
Did you install wofi?
knotty rapids
yeah
empty trench
Have you configured your wofi keybind correctly?
What command do you use to open it?
empty trench
I believe that wofi needs to be configured to show a specifc mode to show installed applications correctly. Do you see other programs correctly?
knotty rapids
Firefox seems to be setup correctly
theres a bunch of other stuff too like regular discord but no electron discord
Electron itself is on the list though
empty trench
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't Electron just the UI framework discord uses?
it's not an application
knotty rapids
alr
empty trench
it's not something you need to deal with unless you are a developer
just launch the Discord program
knotty rapids
Also sorry if theres like infinite questions im just highkey bad
empty trench
don't worry about it
knotty rapids
just launch the `Discord` program
I have regular discord so is there a way to see if I have the electron one or regular one open?
empty trench
I have regular discord so is there a way to see if I have the electron one or re...
Regular discord is built using electron
There is no non-electron discord
empty trench
You mean these?
knotty rapids
yeah
whole grove
why use them, they probably get less updates.
empty trench
Those are unofficial clients that are linked dynamically to the electron binary
empty trench
Basically it means that instead of being bundled inside the discord binary like in the official client
it uses a seperate library installed in /usr/lib
whole grove
that would be nice for an LFS user
empty trench
it saves up some space if you use multiple electron programs because it doesn't need to be bundled in for every separate program
The application itself is still gonna be called Discord
Nothing changes for the user
empty trench
nvm thats actually a bad idea
Not really that bad, but certainly not something you need in most cases
you can run pacman -Rns discord_arch_electron or whatever package you installed and then run pacman -S discord to install the official package
-Rns will uninstall the package and all unused dependencies
knotty rapids
what if I use yay?
whole grove
both work
empty trench
yay works too
whole grove
Wait enumdev your in LFS server lol
empty trench
Wait enumdev your in LFS server lol
yeah
