How I'm now using Signal on UT
-
@danfro Yes I am tryng the tchncs.de bridge. And from a German perspective I am foreign as well, and new. So this may well be the reason. How can I follow the developments?
-
@janmv you can always contact the admin directly. I'm sure he wants to help normal users who want to use the bridge. I also asked about the whatsapp bridge. (don't forget to donate, it's a great service
) -
@janmv I joined their matrix community room at https://matrix.to/#/#tchncs:tchncs.de. Sadly recently a lot talk about spam protection, but that is where I asked and learned about that. I confirm, a friendly admin - unless your a spammer.
-
@danfro Yes, that's it.!

Cinny 2.1.3 (probably from open store back then) stopped working on my Xiaomi Mi A2 (Xenial 16.04 OTA-25). During app startup very briefly 'Looking for home server... Connecting to https://matrix-client.matrix.org...' then black app screen.
Is there eventually a newer version as click package available for my device? Any other idea, how to get Cinny back up and running again?

I would recommend starting a new topic. This topic is probably only interesting to people who use Signal. Not others who may also use Cinny.
-
@Moem thanks, probably was not clear, as I use Cinny exactly for that purpose, discussed in this threat, i.e. to access Signal via the bridge.
-
@mschmids I understand but this does not seem to be a problem with the bridge. It sounds like a Cinny problem, not like a Signal or bridge problem.
-
@mschmids Better try cinny-ut from OpenStore, which is a much newer version.
-
Oh, sorry, just saw that you are still on xenial. There is no xenial version of cinny-ut and there will not be one (at least not done by me).
-
Thank you @danfro for taking your time. I tend to believe, that I did install the Cinny version 2.1.3, which was working perfectly fine until a couple of days ago, from the open store beginning this year, when this thread was started.

Hi @mschmids
As @Moem said, this is not the best place to talk about this.
But Signal is updating from time to time and the bridge as well ; that would explain the change you noticed.
Xenial is not supported anymore, the app you're using as well, and your device as well so unless you manage to update, similar things will continue happening like we notice with Morph browser.
We try to keep legacy as long as possible, but it depends on people and their personal investment in time.
Sadly you're on your own. -
@AppLee Sadly this is true. Cinny 4.7.0, 4.7.1 and 4.8.0 have been released. But they bumped matrix sdk, which makes the app only throw an error (as web app in morph the same). I didn't find a way yet to make it work with our Webengine (I tried with every release). I will try our dev group when I find time, but in worst case we will need to wait for a newer browser until we can have more cinny updates.
-
@danfro thank you for all the effort. So no Cinny e.g. Signal with Focal either for the time being? Element web app, which I am using on the desktop, is also not an option with Morph.
