This is strange, because it's worked before on a different machine (KDE Fedora + Vesktop). Here's an excerpt from the logs:

Discord.ResultException: InternalError

arRPC running through Vesktop 1.5.8, Arch Linux, Hyprland 0.50.1, Everest 1.5720.0

#

This, as far as I can tell, is not a very verbose error

#

cluelesseline

#

"internal error" yes? go on?

#

Is there any possible way to debug this further?

#

cc @sonic falcon, whenever you've the time cutebaddy

#

according to #1359300019332710472 message its impossible D:

#

hmmmm

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 2:45 AM

#

Oh lovely I figured it out

#

Flatpak nonsense

#

thumbeline

#

TWO LAYERS DEEP

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 3:08 AM

#

symlinked the flatpak discord-ipc-0 to the native one, still doesn't work :D

#

in other news, I just typed "steak" instead of steam

#

I cooked it

#

yep that's enough shenanigans for one day

sonic falcon Aug 28, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

I don't even know if it works on my end with Vesktop installed with the .deb

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 2:16 PM

#

Guys I think I might be running it through Proton

#

happylandeline

severe mauve Aug 28, 2025, 2:17 PM

#

might?

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 2:21 PM

#

I don’t rember

#

I just woke up 😭

#

bwehhhhh gonna get some food and come back to this

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

severe mauve might?

how do I know if it's running through Proton again?

#

if this is unchecked, it's not, right?

severe mauve Aug 28, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

That should be the case but I think it can be bugged sometimes

#

Can you send screenshot/ls of your celeste folder

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 5:43 PM

#

📎 message.txt

#

Both Celeste and Celeste.dll exist.. is that normal concerneline

severe mauve Aug 28, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

yeah

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

Celeste is an unmanaged linux apphost which then executes the managed Celeste.dll which has all the .NET celeste code, using either the system-wide installed runtime or the runtime installed in piton-runtimes

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:06 PM

#

so I’m running it through native Linux then

#

well that doesn’t really help, does it

#

if it’s Proton then I would’ve had some ideas

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:06 PM

#

running celeste via proton in 90% of cases makes things worse

#

and we don't really support it

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:07 PM

#

hmm

#

oh wait

#

I fear I may have done a silly

#

more testing is required

#

right now the plan is symlinking /run/user/1000/.flatpak/…/discord-ipc-0 to /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0

#

or is it the other way around?

#

either way Steam needs to be able to access the native socket

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:11 PM

#

tiny pilot I cooked it

what's a "sotware"

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:12 PM

#

stable gorge what's a "sotware"

catplant

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:13 PM

#

how is this ipc thing supposed to help anyways

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:13 PM

#

discord-ipc-0 is the socket at which Discord listens for RPC responses

#

I believe the issue is caused by a combination of Flatpak Steam and native Vesktop

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

i've seen this happen to people without flatpak but i don't remember whether any of them didn't have flatpak steam

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:15 PM

#

allowing Steam to communicate with the native socket instead of the sandboxed one (which is for Flatpak Discord) should fix the issue

#

so a good test may be to install Vesktop through Flatpak?

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:16 PM

#

is discord-ipc-0 a FIFO

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:16 PM

#

what that

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:16 PM

#

pipe

#

mkfifo makes a named pipe file

#

if you do ls -F the file should be ending with a pipe symbol (|)

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:17 PM

#

I will do that when I return home

#

I’m gonna be honest though, I’ve never worked with this socket business

stable gorge Aug 28, 2025, 6:18 PM

#

-# and i don't run linux

tiny pilot Aug 28, 2025, 6:38 PM

#

stable gorge is `discord-ipc-0` a FIFO

Reddit says yes

tiny pilot Aug 30, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

bump so the thread doesn’t close

#

I’ll come back to this soon I swear

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

we don't auto close threads

tiny pilot Aug 30, 2025, 7:35 PM

#

it disappears from the menu for me though and I want it there so I can rember

#

otherwise I forgor bweheline

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 7:36 PM

#

fair i guess

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

stable gorge we don't auto close threads

Discord does thinkeline not sure what the configured delay is, though

#

"defaultAutoArchiveDuration": 1440
uhh
the unit is apparently minutes, so that's 1 day

#

well, to answer my own question, it works™ on Linux with Vesktop and no Flatpak anywhere

tiny pilot Aug 30, 2025, 7:55 PM

#

sonic falcon well, to answer my own question, it works™ on Linux with Vesktop and no Flatpak ...

The reason I use Flatpak Steam is because I have not recovered from 32-bit binaries replacing ones in my system and screwing up my apps sobeline

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:00 PM

const SOCKET_PATH = platform === 'win32' ? '\\\\?\\pipe\\discord-ipc'
  : join(env.XDG_RUNTIME_DIR || env.TMPDIR || env.TMP || env.TEMP || '/tmp', 'discord-ipc');

in my case XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is /run/user/1000 and I can indeed find that file

$ ls -l /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0 
srwxrwxr-x 1 maddie maddie 0 août  30 21:46 /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

sonic falcon `"defaultAutoArchiveDuration": 1440` uhh the unit is apparently minutes, so that...

that just hides the thread, it does not close it

#

confusing name, i know

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:02 PM

#

"archive" and "close" are 2 separate things? ohnoshiro

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

sonic falcon ```js const SOCKET_PATH = platform === 'win32' ? '\\\\?\\pipe\\discord-ipc' : ...

it's apparently a socket

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

yep

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 8:03 PM

#

sonic falcon ```js const SOCKET_PATH = platform === 'win32' ? '\\\\?\\pipe\\discord-ipc' : ...

aout

#

if you ls -lF does it show /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0|

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:04 PM

#

it shows /run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0=

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

hm

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:05 PM

#

-F, --classify
       append indicator (one of */=>@|) to entries

thanks man, now I know what that's supposed to mean

stable gorge Aug 30, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

okay so it's not a fifo

sonic falcon Aug 30, 2025, 8:06 PM

#

stat was the one that told me that it was a socket

#

well okay, with less 🧀

this is, in fact, a socket

(there are doors? tf)

sonic falcon ```js const SOCKET_PATH = platform === 'win32' ? '\\\\?\\pipe\\discord-ipc' : ...

My problem is that Flatpak makes one itself, in /run/user/1000/.flatpak/com.valvesoftware.Steam/xdg-run/discord-ipc-0

#

That one is apparently symlinked to ./com.discordapp.Discord/discord-ipc-0

tiny pilot Aug 30, 2025, 8:34 PM

#

Theoretically editing the symlink to point to run/user/1000/discord-ipc-0 should work, but I’m not quite sure how to allow Flatpak to access a file outside of its bounds

#

Connection out here is ass
