Discord update breaks Fedora install from RPMFusion
-
Discord's new version 0.0.8 forces a compatibility requirement of some kind and the old version of 0.0.5 no longer launches.
Assuming that you installed from the RPMFusion repo, there is a bug report and an updated build is being worked on. https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5144
Unfortunately it is not quite ready for prime time. But if you want to test, you can upgrade
sudo dnf upgrade discord --enablerepo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing
But apparently Discord packaged the original executable as 644....
sudo chmod 755 /usr/lib64/discord/Discord
After this, I no longer have the Discord item in my Menu, so I have to launch it from the command line.
/usr/bin/Discord
At this time, I have not restarted Cinnamon, or my machine, to test if the Menu item shows back up after that.
-
The maintainer has an updated package to fix the permission issues, that has not been pulled into the test repo yet.
-
Installing 0.0.8-2 does resolve everything.
sudo dnf upgrade http://koji.rpmfusion.org/kojifiles/packages/discord/0.0.8/2.fc29/x86_64/discord-0.0.8-2.fc29.x86_64.rpm

Dare I ask why not? Other than this solution, I haven't had any interaction with Copr.

Copr is more like a wild west of WTF ever people want to put out there.
I have found nothing there that I was not able to either do through a more vetted repo or simply direct from the app developer.

I see. In the last few minutes, I've poked around their site, and it does seem a bit untamed.

How did you have it installed previously?

Like anything, if you are careful and know what you are doing it can be useful. But If you are careful and know what you are doing, you shouldn't need Copr.

Probably RPM Fusion, but it's been so long, I cannot remember.

I don't have the laptop in front of me, so I can't say for sure, but
