No combination of hotkeys was ever able to get me to pull up a terminal or close the desktop session. Now, if I were to simply try to kill the bugged out window, it would hard lock my system, leaving me with the ability to move my cursor around my now-frozen still image of what my desktop enviro looked like right before I tried to kill the problem, and. The cache for Discord/Canary can be found in either ~/.config/discordcanary/Cache or ~/.config/discord/Cache install(s) that I have, it says that cache for Discord or Discord Canary are located in ~/.cache/Discord or ~/.cache/Discord-Canary:Įcho "> You may need to delete discord's cache directory ~/.cache/discord"Įcho "> try this if discord is stuck on the updating screen or if nothing displays but a gray box"Įcho "> If you are experiencing a (A JavaScript error occurred in the main process) error try deleting the /tmp/discordcanary.sock file"Įcho "> if this doesn't work ask for help in #linux-general in the Discord Testers server "Įcho "> You may also want to check out the linux server for help as well " I believe I've found 3 posts of people talking about a blank Discord screen/window, although in the 3 I looked at they didn't specify a solution to the problem, other than reboot the system. I've not been able to find much information about this particular issue on this site or on others.

This particular problem happens with any Discord app I've used from the AUR:Īfter some amount of time - usually 2-7 days - Discord chat window will go completely blank. That is, aside from this on-going problem with Discord. This is Arch Linux running in VMWare, and aside from me messing up my own MIME database one time (See = here if you're interested), and a window resize issue that came and went, (See = here if you're interested) the system is doing great. I shall do my best to explicate this small annoyance:
