Unsure how to troubleshoot, sorry.

This doesn’t help with any issues on stable. No one uses canary except for a small minority.
This “issue” should not be pinned as it doesn’t help at all. My issue was an actual issue involving a new STABLE discord update
0.0.14, betterdiscord not launching (again), and no repair function to fix shit.Why was mine closed and then this pinned immediately after with actually nothing to do with anything. All this does for anyone is say “Doesn’t work with canary anymore”…Like that is supposed to help ANYONE else.
@ObserverOfTime At least pin something useful and can give us more information…
betterdiscordctl v2.0.0 has been released! https://github.com/bb010g/betterdiscordctl/releases/v2.0.0 provides a changelog that goes over the CLI refresh. If you have problems with the new release, reporting them in new issues would be preferred so that everyone subscribed to this issue isn’t notified.
I’d really love for betterdiscordctl not to get deprecated as well, having an easy and minimal CLI alternative to the GUI application would be great.
I Hope betterdiscordctl won’t get deprecated, I honestly love the CLI tool, the AppImage is fat for not much and can’t be scripted. Thanks for betterdiscordctl !
It’s
betterdiscordctl -i flatpak installnow. Don’t ask why.Sorry for all the delay. betterdiscordctl v2.0.0 is in final review, and should be released within the next couple days. Early tests of #120 from anyone running Snap or Flatpak would be appreciated.
You can use the GUI installer in the meantime. It does not support flatpak and snap though.
BBD doesn’t work on Canary anymore. See https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp/issues/442#issuecomment-768131571.
