<![CDATA[Present state of Matrix Client Apps in UT 20.04]]>Hi there,
I am having a hard time trying to get a working solution for matrix messageing on my new UT 20.04 phone.

Despite the information from the pinned tutorial links collection, uMatriks and FluffyChat seem to be unavailable in my OpenStore.

Element from OpenStore installs but appears to be broken (only white screen after login, session restore problems when re-opening)

Cinny seems to be the only working client option from Openstore but does not support the homeserver I use (which is hosted by a small independent tech collective). At least not using default login mask. I'd rather not switch to one of the majormatrix servers if there are possible other ways.

I managed to install nheko and element-desktop in libertine container, however both fail to login, even so when I use an account with matrix.org homeserver.

Im quite desperate at this point, any help appreciated.
Best, volatius

Perhaps this could be worth a web app / bookmark in the Open Store, just so people see a working Matrix option if they go looking?

I continue to think Matrix is a great candidate as a solution to the problem of supported messengers on UT, especially with the success of "bridges" to many other messengers. Could allow communication with several messenger ecosystems at once.

Meanwhile cinny fully broke for me after an accidential logout, after which it keeps crashing on startup login attempts. Even after allegedly deleting all app data using UT tweak tool and reinstalling cinny, the issue remained unchanged. Magically however, cinny still keeps pushing out notifications from my supposedly terminated previous session.

Thus, my "undead" cinny now enables a kind of arkward workaround to add notification functionalities to the otherwise well working hydrogen client. For now, I'll keep using this "dream team" I guess.

Have you tried https://hydrogen.element.io in the browser? This worked for me in the past.

Hydrogen is a "lightweight matrix client with legacy and mobile browser support"

It turned out that Cinny is not loading images and other files probably due to changes in matrix protocol.
This issue was raised already on github

As I pointed out also Element is broken, dont know if its maintainers are aware yet.

So as far as I can see, there is indeed no convenient matrix client out there in open store at the moment?

Or is there any alternative like buidling from source etc? Unfortunately my coding skills are close to zero, however compiling if there is potentially working code might be achievable for me (I like challenge my self from time to time hehe..)

Did not recognize that type in field of the server name, which isnt implemented too obvious.
However many thanks, that solves it for me.

There is a drop down menu containing 5 severs (unfortunately not the one I use) on login. I dont see any other server choice option in the GUI.
