Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch
-
Yesterday I started with a Oneplus 5t with UT. I tried to videocall with my mother on Signal UT. We could talk and I could see her, but see couldn't see me.
I also have family abroad, so it is a pretty important function for me.Also do I have a very big local community here on Signal (>500p, 20 groups and also more specific topicgroups non-local). It is important for me to put off sound-notifications for some groups and not for others. I couldn't find how to do that. Is this already somehow possible?

@pparent There was a signal update this morning on android, Since then signal app on UT crashes when trying to send a picture as attachement. greetings!
-
It has probably nothing to do with the Android uprade, there is currently a know random crash when uploading files specifically a Picture. I've investigated and found where the bug comes from, I will try to fix it next week.
Try again several times and you will probably observe that sometimes it crashes sometimes not.

@pparent thanks a lot!

I've published version v8.3.0-1, it brings the following improvements:
- Significantly improve the reliability of ContentHub.
- Fix the issue with searching for messages in conversations.
- Fix access to the media panel in contacts.
- Fix the message menu opening inappropriately when scrolling.
- Fix the application for the 24.04-1.x daily branch.
- Improve reactivity at startup.
- Update to Signal Desktop 8.3.0.
Don't hesitate to report if everything works well for you!

@pparent yea, it has improved, thanks! one question: was it before that one can only send one single picture?
-
@pparent Looks good!
I have a question... I recently tried running SignalUT on UT version 24.04.2.x and it would not run. Is that still the case?
My reason for wanting to run the 'bleeding edge' version is that it gave me great improvements in battery life.
Is currently using an Op5t
Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop. -

No Idea about the state of 24.04.2.x for now, I can only say that this version works with current 24.04-1.x daily branch!
They are constantly doing updates on the bleeding edge branches, that impact XWayland apps, it's hard to keep updated all the time.
-
@Moem I just tried it on 24.04-2.x daily. The app opens, loads messages, briefly shows the chat list and then crashs. On the second start if hangs at the splash screen. So no, broken on 2.x.

Hum that's true that there is a strange thing happening with uploading PDF. I will try to see that in next revision.
In the mean time from my experience if you try it upload a PDF after uploading a picture first (without necessarily sending it), then it works.
-
@moem All though the app doesn't run 100% on 2.x at the moment, I use it to check messages whenever my Signal bridge is a bit under the weather. It always starts after a couple of tries. (No OSK, but very useful to check if there are any important messages waiting.)
I am so grateful for all the effort you put into this, @pparent , thank you!

There's actually a transition problem, with the change they have made on handling XWayland windows. I.e what works on stable does not work on 24.04-1.x daily, and conversely, and provoke crash.
In order to handle the transition I've done a conditional code with a fuzzy check of the version it's running on. So for now I've done the detection based on the current state of 24.04-1.x daily , I've not included 24.04-2.x . It's not trivial to adapt to a constantly evolving base.
BUT normally in few month when 24.04-1.3 will be an old memory I will fully switch to the new way of doing things, and it should be fine on all newer branches.
Also I know that few month ago there was an OSK problem with 24.04-2.x , not sure if it's still the case.

Ps: I misread your comment I thought you where reporting a bug when uploading PDF files that is indeed present.
But yes, you won't be able to upload more than one file at once, at least until we can switch to Walyand with Mir2.x.
-
@danfro In reality I always get it to work for maximum half a minute at a time before it closes, and without a working keyboard, but long enough to check messages.
-
Well no problem really, I was'nt getting you wrong!
Actually it is possible to do a small edit through the terminal to make sure the app does not crash, I will explain in post bellow.
But if the OSK still does not work I'm not sure it will be very usefull. And the OSK problem in 24.04-2x seem to concern all XWayland apps (including uWold and Chromium for UT)
-
@Ida_ ah, ok. Not iedal, but sometjing. I get less than a second. I am not that quick in reading.
-
Or if you want to use commands in the terminal you can try to paste this in the terminal, it should fix the crash in 24.04-2.x branch (but will not solve the OSK problem):
sudo sed -i "s/\[ \"\$?\" -ne \"0\" \]/\[ \"0\" -ne \"0\" \]/g" /opt/click.ubuntu.com/signalut.pparent/current/launcher.sh sudo sed -i "s/\[ \"\$?\" -eq \"0\" \]/\[ \"0\" -eq \"0\" \]/g" /opt/click.ubuntu.com/signalut.pparent/current/utils/filedialog-deamon.sh
