FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon
-
I've narrowed the image download issue down to being specific to FluffyChat and in particular the control it uses to fetch the images. I haven't had any time yet to debug further but I'll post when I get to the bottom of it.
-
@thrrgilag great, got the click installed, copied the config over & looks good
Quick question, does the PanUT app need to be kept running or can it be closed once the services are started?
Fab that you've isolated the image issue, let me know if I can help with testing anything
-
@theare27 you can go ahead and close it, the service will keep running.
-
It works fine for me. Great work!
-
@thrrgilag thanks for your work on Pantalaimon UT!
I am trying to get it to work but I keep getting a "No connection..." message in Fluffychat when pointed to the local address and port. I've checked that the service is running, and tried with various homeservers in 2 different devices (both arm64), with no success.
Any clues as to why it's not working?
-
@lgtrombetta Can you check the logs? You can check the logs using the logviewer app?
-
@lgtrombetta try closing the app and loading it back up again and see if it remembers your config. There might be a bug on the initial setup.
-
@thrrgilag here are the logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cwjJ78VpJd/
First time I closed and reopened the app it didn't remember the config, but since then it does remember and still no luck.
-
@lgtrombetta okay if you could grab the log that would be the next place to look to see what errors might be getting thrown by the daemon

Aren't these the correct ones?
-
@lgtrombetta oh haha sorry guess I need more coffee this morning.
Interesting seems to not find the service either. Try disabling and re-enabling the service now, maybe a reboot after that.
What device are you runnning this on? I'll see if I can re-create this first-time experience and ferret out these bugs.

Tried it several times, still nothing.

So.. this is both on the Pinephone and on a Nexus 6p. The logs I sent you are from the latter. I know UT on both these devices is not feature complete yet, so the problem might as well be not specific to this app.
Let me know if you want me to try something else.
-
It works here on my Pinephone. Does the Pantalaimon app display something like
pantalaimon start/running, process 1234? -
@jonius yes.
I just realized using top via ssh that the process keeps respawning and changing its pid every 5 seconds. Is this behaviour expected? This is on both devices.
-
@lgtrombetta If it keeps respawning it means it's failing to start properly.
-
@thrrgilag worth trying the previous binary (spawned via adb or ssh) rather than the .click?
-
@theare27 good thought.
@lgtrombetta if you could try ssh or adb to the device and run it directly, that should hopefully make more apparent what the failure might be. You can do "stop pantalaimon" to make sure the service is stopped, followed by executing "/opt/click.ubuntu.com/pantalaimon.thrrgilag/current/pantalaimon"
-
@thrrgilag so it finally works. What I found running it as you suggested is that the homeserver address in the config must have the "http(s)://" prefix. While I had added it at some point during my testing, it turns out it must be there for all homeservers in the config in order for the service to start properly, and in my case it wasn't.
So, I feel a bit stupid, but I hope all of this can help to make the UX smoother

Awesome, glad you were able to get it sorted.

I very much appreciate your testing it out. This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for to make it better. Adding to my list of things to fix.
-
Out of interest, did you get anywhere with the issue with images?
