Describe the bug
running discord-canary gives an error and can not start

To Reproduce
run discord-canary in the terminal

Expected behavior
get and error about launching the app, the error is

[~] discord-canary
Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/discord-canary/app

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/discord-canary/app'
Require stack:
- /usr/lib/electron/resources/default_app.asar/main.js
-

Taking the advice of another github pull request: #442 (comment) it says to change .asar to just app

[~] discord-canary
Error launching app
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/discord-canary/app.asar

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/discord-canary/app.asar'
Require stack:
- /usr/lib/electron/resources/default_app.asar/main.js
-

this started messing up when the new discord-canary package changed to community; https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/discord-canary/

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Arch Linux x86_64, 5.13.12-arch1-1
  • Powercord version: most recent

Additional context

  • [ /] I checked if Discord and/or Powercord are up to date
  • [ /] I made sure this is not related to an external plugin or a theme

Add any other context about the problem here.
