[Alpha] Greenline - A qml Whatsapp client for Ubuntu Touch
-
"Hi Brenno, I'm using Greenline on a Pixel 3a (Ubuntu Touch RC). I noticed that the greenline-daemon stays active and consumes significant resources even when notifications are disabled in the app settings. On older devices, this leads to OOM (Out of Memory) crashes and system reboots.
Feature Request: Could you add a 'Kill Daemon on Exit' toggle for users who don't need background notifications? If notifications are off, the daemon shouldn't stay resident in memory after closing the UI." -
PS:
Now I use a skript (systemctl --user stop greenline.service) and use it with a Desktop link. This works perfectly for my WhatsApp usage. This way, I can stop all WhatsApp data usage completely if I don’t need Greenline for a few days. -
@Linus67
Could you tell me how to add the script shortcut in Lomiri?
Greenline is great (to keep my wife happy – she uses WhatsApp and sees it as the most obvious way to communicate) -
nano ~/.local/share/applications/gkill.desktop
ini
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Stop Greenline
Exec=/home/phablet/stop_greenline.sh
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/phablet/Pictures/greenline_stop.png -

Nice script to stop the daemon, I added to the todo list to include before release
-
And then how do you restart the service? - simply by restarting the app? or by
systemctl --user start greenline.service? -
@mihael simply by restarting the app

@brenno.almeida awesome app, switched to it.
a thing you should add, is aytanna message indicator support so we can see messages after timer runs out.other then that, i think you should expand settings to include all the standard chat and profile settings.
also sqlite db files should be encrypted if possible.
-
@mihael the app has a built in logic to recover the daemon in case of a crash, which seems to be working here
-
@ChromiumOS-Guy what do you mean by seeing the message after time runs out?
-
@ChromiumOS-Guy this app is draining my battery faster then my cat can eat, other then that amazing
