How did you install Discord? Were there any error or warning messages at the time?

Thanks. Can you please paste the output from the following commands to check that certain components have installed correctly:

Code:
ls -l /usr/share/discord/

ls -l /usr/share/lintian/overrides/discord
Have you tried contacting Discord for help on this issue?

Also, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?

Maybe It isnt installed then? Because I get this output

averyfb@averyfb-desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/share/discord/
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/discord/': No such file or directory
averyfb@averyfb-desktop:~$ ls -l /usr/share/lintian/overrides/discord
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/lintian/overrides/discord': No such file or directory
averyfb@averyfb-desktop:~$

And I dont know to be honest 64 I think

Ok. I've had problems with installing programs through Ubuntu Software Center in the past, so I recommend installing debs with the gdebi installer instead.

Can you check to see if you have gdebi installed:

Code:
dpkg -l gdebi

I'd reinstall it using in a terminal:
Code:
wget https://dl.discordapp.net/apps/linux/0.0.2/discord-0.0.2.deb
sudo apt-get install libc++1
sudo dpgk -i discord-0.0.2.deb
then I ran it.

Then you can invoke it by right-clicking on a deb file and selecting Open with GDebi Package installer.

However, Habitual's command line method should also have worked - I just wanted to give you a GUI installer alternative to the sometimes buggy Ubuntu Software Center. So, it appears that there is another problem here.

Can you check that there are now files properly installed as in post #4.

Also, what do you mean by "it wont let me like actually use it"?

That looks fine. Something is definitely awry though - I just downloaded discord-0.0.2.deb from the website and installed it with GDebi on my Mint 18.2 setup (equivalent to Ubuntu 16.04), and it launches correctly.

Running discord from the command line, what output do you get?
