Client Discord doesn't detected via RPC #77

mortim · 2018-08-08T18:54:45Z

Hi ! I have a problem, the Rich Presence isn't detected on Visual Studio Code (I'm using Ubuntu Budgie 18.04) , I'm not sure that the problem is coming from Discord, because it works perfectly on Spotify

Spotify Rich Presence is an official Discord implementation so its not comparable.
Discord does a very poor job when implementing RPC for Ubuntu, nothing I can do.

mortim · 2018-08-08T18:58:09Z

okey thanks

I found a solution to the extension not working on Ubuntu Budgie 18.04.
Don't install Discord from the software centre. If you have, uninstall it.
Go to https://discordapp.com mouse over "Download for Linux" then hit ~.deb` [Direct Link]
Open your downloads folder, right click and hit "Open Tilix/(some terminal emulator) here" and then paste in the following

# This first
dpkg -i discord*.deb
# If it finishes with an error basically saying it cannot finish
# because its missing libc++1, then do the following
sudo apt install --fix-broken

Installing the actual package and not the snap package is what made it work for me like a charm.
Makes it seem like snap's packaging either strips features or isolates the app to the extent some stuff either doesn't work or is flaky.

Thank you @OscarXcore for solution and @iCrawl for referencing this to me !

Stapleton · 2018-11-11T17:38:44Z

No worries! I noticed that when you download the .deb off of the discord website, it opens the software centre. Anything that is installed in the software centre isn't the actual package, the .deb just links to the snap version unless you install the .deb with dpkg.

One thing to note as well: Make sure you also do NOT have Visual Studio Code installed on the Software Center. Just had this same issue, but I was able to fix it.

Go to the Visual Studio Code website and download VSCode. Direct link

In your Downloads folder, run the following in a Terminal.

sudo dpkg -i code*.deb
sudo apt install --fix-broken #incase packages are missing

You should be all set now.

ghost · 2019-02-12T18:02:48Z

sudo apt --fix-broken install is not correct, I had to use sudo apt install --fix-broken

kalkafox · 2019-02-13T01:20:25Z

@thegergo02 Goodness me, I'm very sorry about that. I was half-assed tired.

Fixed now.

Stapleton · 2019-02-13T04:29:49Z

Fixed my comment as well @thegergo02

RyanTheDevelopan · 2019-05-15T20:56:00Z

Um, I'm starting to experience the same problem. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.

Stapleton · 2019-05-15T21:12:31Z

Try starting discord and VSCode both as Administrator

Blaze135 · 2019-10-29T14:38:44Z

HPaulson · 2020-05-05T00:27:44Z

I'd like to stress the comment made here. Basic fix: Don't use Software Installer. For Discord OR vscode.

Pverte · 2020-05-05T06:25:00Z

It’s ok for me, I downloaded manually and now it’s work

danbulant · 2020-05-24T11:44:24Z

Don't use Software Installer

Don't forget that this is an issue with snap based installers (like in Ubuntu). Other software centers which don't use snaps usually uses the deb package, meaning the installation will work normally.

Snaps are pretty isolated from system, nearly like running a VM. They're more secure, but also more limited and some features like rich presence might not work.

iDevoid · 2020-06-30T13:20:19Z

has anyone faced the same problem on Fedora?

kavinvalli · 2020-09-15T18:12:11Z

I am on a Mac. How do I solve the issue? I downloaded the app from their website

kavinvalli · 2020-09-15T18:24:27Z

It ended up connecting after I reinstalled the extension

i'm on ubuntu 20.04 and i have the rpc connection problem, anyone can help me?

aliredahajj · 2020-09-18T19:18:47Z

I have the same error but I am on windows 10 home

RCout1nho · 2020-09-19T02:48:19Z

i'm on ubuntu 20.04 and i have the rpc connection problem, anyone can help me?

I resolved it, i just installed vscode and discord from oficial sites and install with dpkg

brendan-27 · 2020-10-01T23:30:56Z

Just restarting my pc worked for me.

dinogomez · 2020-10-08T06:56:02Z

i'm on ubuntu 20.04 and i have the rpc connection problem, anyone can help me?

@RCout1nho try following @Stapleton fix

# This first
dpkg -i discord-0.0.5.deb
# If it finishes with an error basically saying it cannot finish
# because its missing libc++1, then do the following
sudo apt install --fix-broken

I removed both VSCODE and Discord from the pre-installed packages and redownloaded them fresh from their official websites then Discord Presence started to work.

dinogomez · 2020-10-08T07:03:43Z

@RCout1nho you can uninstall pre-installed discord by using this command.
sudo snap remove discord

ElnuDev · 2020-10-27T22:08:42Z

TL;DR: If this isn't working for you:

If you installed Discord through Ubuntu Software, uninstall it.
Reinstall Discord with the download directly from Discord's website.
If you installed Visual Studio Code through Ubuntu Software, uninstall it.
Reinstall Visual Studio Code directly from Visual Studio's website.
If you get the error "Failed to install file: not supported" from Ubuntu Software when installing Discord or Visual Studio Code directly from their websites, use the GDebi Package Installer instead. It usually installs properly when Ubuntu Software fails, and when it fails it gives a detailed error.

it was helpful thanks

HeySkidee · 2020-11-22T11:33:32Z

I uninstalled both discord and vs code from ubuntu software
and then installed them from the official websites
It worked for me..Thanks :)

what will for windows

Stapleton · 2020-11-26T15:41:12Z

what will for windows

Run them as admin. A proper solution for windows should be made into a new issue.

Thank you soooo much!

I have a similar solution:

Open Discord
Remove Discord via "Ubuntu Software" (While Discord is still opened!)
Wait until the store is finished
Close Discord
Open Discord again

This worked for me!

For OS X Big Sur, grant the vscode "Full Disk Access" may help.

Just go Sustem Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Full Disk Access -> Add the vscode

Avnoor-Gamerz · 2021-02-28T05:47:12Z

Ok

viktorashi · 2021-08-01T23:10:17Z

For anybody that it doesn't work for: I got it working, by just uninstalling vscode and installing it back,

BEWARE THOUGH, AS IT WILL DELETE ALL YOUR SETTINGS AND EXTENSIONS, IT'S GONNA BE LIKE BEFORE YOU INSTALLED IT AND WENT THROUGH THE COSTUMIZATION PROCESS, VERY ANNOYING.

Uninstall VsCode
Install It back Up
Install the rich presence plugin again.
You should be done I hope

NOT DISCORD, but Vscode,

fred-direne · 2021-10-19T21:38:54Z

For who is using it on MacOS just go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Firewall -> Firewall options and allow both vscode and discord incoming connections. It worked for me

What about people that use Fedora, as there seems to be no RPM package and updating Discord is hella annoying, so Flatpak is the easiest way.
