Will Dekko2 make it to noble?

messayisto

@kristatos hm, I upgraded my device per installer, did not wipe data, many apps work, but not dekko. It crashes when try t oopen/ write mail. Maybe I should de- and reinstall it -?

kristatos

@messayisto Okay, when writing a new mail mine is also crashing. I've just tested installing, connecting to an account and fetching new mails. So, it needs to fill a bug-report for this issue. Can you fill one?

messayisto

@kristatos I will try tonight. Maybe I need help, but lets see.
By the way on Oneplus5 same behaviour. And the counter in the app-launcher doesn't stop counting incoming mails.

@kristatos Honnestly reporting the issue on gitlab is beyond my skills, sorry.
What I will do is ask for next saturdays q&a, if Dekko will make it into noble, maybe there will be an answer.

@messayisto You don't need any special skills to create an issue on Gitlab. This platform is open to all users.

Just go to this page: (create an account the first time)

https://gitlab.com/dekkan/dekko/-/issues

Then fill out the form with as many details as possible.

This is accessible to everyone so that users can report issues.
I myself have created several issues on Gitlab even though I have absolutely no IT skills....

*I have provided you with a direct link to Gitlab for the Dekko2 application. Of course, each project has its own section.

@messayisto I appreciate the reports and info gathering you've done on what apps are working in Noble. App ecosystem is often make or break for those of us daily driving UT.
Note though that Dekko is not a core system app, and as such is not the realm of the UBports Foundation.

Whether or not Dekko or another email client should be a core app is another matter, but with the small crew of devs already doing so much, I'd be hesitant to suggest adding to the workload.

At present Dekko hasn't been updated in 15 months and likely needs somebody to take the reins.

While it is true that there hasn't been a new release of Dekko2 in a while, the GitLab repo is still active with discussions and PR's and merges. I expect a new release will happen along with, or before noble.

@stanwood Like yesterday opening an account on gitlab is failing - I don`t get an verification code to verify my email adress. I will wait a few days and try again, maybe with another email -? But thank you for your answer and the link.

wally

@arubislander Thanks for the correction:-) Good to know!

@kristatos could you also write E-mails without crashing Dekko2?

kristatos

@sudo2017 No, not under noble. But let's wait if there is coming a new release as @arubislander said. Maybe it's already prepared for noble and will address these issues.

In the beta Release Dekko 2 still crash, if you try to open a E-Mail and if you try to write a E-Mail.

@messayisto As far as I know there is a version of Dekko 2 being tested at present that works on Noble.
The version I have works well but there are no settings available so you have to enter all accounts at set up. Not ideal.
Edit: and I needed to completely remove the old version of Dekko so double not ideal.

@Lakotaubp Where did you grab it from?
