Description crabbed halo ablution 2024-11-06 13:13:55 UTC

When Wayland is enabled, system log will be full of messages like this:
[3718270:1106/133951.028741:ERROR:gbm_pixmap_wayland.cc(82)] Cannot create bo with format= YUV_420_BIPLANAR and usage=SCANOUT_CPU_READ_WRITE
[3718270:1106/133951.028891:ERROR:gpu_channel.cc(502)] Buffer Handle is null.


The root cause is a chromium issue (see URL) that is fixed in Chromium 131.0.6738.0.
Electron e33 is still only at Chromium 130.0.6723.44 (see: https://www.electronjs.org/blog/electron-33-0 ) and discord is still only at Electron e32
There is a workaround: launch discord with --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames command-line argument when wayland is enabled. 

I propose we add --disable-gpu-memory-buffer-video-frames to the launch parameters of discord when wayland is used till the electron used in discord catches up with latest Chromium.

Reproducible: Always

Fix wayland log spam with launch paramter

This is the diff of launcher.sh that fixes the problem for me.
