Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
I think that it has been clearly said that there should be a 24.04-1.2 release; 24.04-2 is not destined to straight replace 24.04-1 in the following months.

I'm wondering if it has affected 1.x daily
definitely not.

@gpatel-fr Glad to hear it has not affected 1.x daily yet. As I understand it 2.0 or 2.1 is not coming anytime soon, no.
-
Anyway in the long run we will hopefully switch to Wayland when Mir2.x is included in the system, and then the OSK will be handled differently that it currently is. Not sure whether the 24.04.2 branch will include Mir2.x .

Notifications are available in version v7.86.0-1 !
In order to get notifications you need to keep the application opened. Somehow you don't need to un-suspend the application in Ubuntu Tweaks, it seems the Xwayland apps are not suspended by the system. So note it might affect a bit battery life.
Next version will focus on corrections of main remaining bugs or things that display not well in the UI, because not adapted to responsive design ( left menu, search message, medias of a group ), and if possible fix bugs with contentHub.

@pparent Would it be helpful for you to have a second phone?
-
Thank you very much for proposing, I currently have on top of my main phone:
*An old vollaphone (with broken screen, and I have datas on my waydroid session there that for now I would not like to relfash it for that reason)
*A pine-phone, that I wonder if I could use to try in-development versions (24.04.2)
*My old Nexus 5 that was my first UT device but completely outdated!
What are you proposing?

@pparent I have a OnePlus Nord N10 that I could give to you if it's of any use. It's running 24.04-2.x and the battery isn't very good anymore. I would reset it to factory settings and send it to you. What do you think?

It does, but it's acceptable. Especially since notifications are quite important to me. It's so nice to see Signal notifs appear on my Pebble watch now!
-
Ok I think I can make use of the device, thank you very much! (and in any case if I don't need it anymore one day, or you need it again, I can always send it back to you.) I send you a PM.
In an ideal world Signal would provide an API for external webpush server, as telegram does, and we don't need to keep an app open ususpended to receive notifications.

Did anyone figure out how to get the menus visible? I see menus flicker three times kind of and dies away. Is there a way to increase the text sizes, keyboard shortcuts? It is ridiculously small. tinytinytiny. Have I missed something here on how to increase the text size? Any hidden trick? A config file?
EDIT: Connected a keyboard via USB and pressed Ctrl ++. Text in some parts got bigger. Menutext still small.

Honestly not sure to understand, a screenshot might explain more. The top menu do not work (but are not useful anyway the best is to hide them). Normally the scaling should be good by default but if it isn't please mention what device you are using and the result in the terminal of:
getprop ro.sf.lcd_densityAnd
echo $GRID_UNIT_PX
