Discord not longer work

Help
1

I am no longer to start the Discord client app. It seems the application is no longer working after a system crash.

Usually, when something similar happens, I rename ~/.config/discord and it resolves the issue. But, not this time.

I have these messages at the end of my log:

mar 19 14:45:53 pierre-nixos systemd[1]: NetworkManager-dispatcher.service: Deactivated successfully.
mar 19 14:46:08 pierre-nixos systemd[2349]: app-gnome-org.gnome.Settings-10842.scope: Consumed 1.433s CPU time, 79.1M memory peak.

mar 19 14:46:13 pierre-nixos systemd[1]: systemd-hostnamed.service: Deactivated successfully.

I don’t know if it is related to not.

I tried starting the application from the command line. It starts but it quit immediately without leaving any messages.

Any suggestions about how I can have Discord back?

I’ve installed Discord from Flatpak and this version of the client is working.

Although, my Nix Discord continues to not work. :cry:

what is ur NixOS version / channel?

4 
nixos https://channels.nixos.org/nixos-24.11
nixos-unstable https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-unstable

I used the stable channel.

Could it be a partial installation, since I had a crash while switching to a new generation?

I doubt NixOS would let that happen.

What do you mean by “crash”?

7

My machine has frozen. I had to reset to restart it while I was switching to a new derivation.

The file system is not atomic. There are certain limits.

There is a repair option.
