Unable to Update Now

[djaesch]

Discord wanted an update, so went about doing the normal update process with the stable release and it just errors out now.

@djaesch It has something to do with the naming. New archives seem to provide the name discord in lowercase. I tinkered around for a bit and ended up successfully creating and installing a package with these changes:

P.S. Maybe you'll also need to update your global link too (it used to be /usr/bin/Discord)

$ ll /usr/bin/discord 
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 May  7 17:51 /usr/bin/discord -> /opt/discord/discord

For the record my OS is:

$ uname -a
Linux fedora 6.19.12-100.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Apr 12 15:27:03 UTC 2026 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I made a pull request with Codex-generated fixes. The changes looked solid to me when reviewing and it works on my Fedora 43. The first run takes a while because Discord now does full install locally, in user's home, when you first run it, so be patient.

With Discord now having an official RPM package to download, I no longer am having to use this method anymore, but thank you for the responses.

[sergiomb2]

where is the official RPM package to download ?

[vsego]

https://discord.com/download -> Scroll down, pick RPM
I only found it after @djaesch pointed out that it exists. I didn't try it yet.
