Yes, the maintainer applied a patch, all is well again!
-
@Moem phew, thats good morning news!
-
@danfro already done that. Both Cinny apps are available under notifications. That's why I was thinking on some interference between the 2 apps.

-
@AppLee OK thanks I'll try that and let you know.
-
@RedXXIII you can only try uninstalling the old one. I don't have both installed. It might be to some of the patches we use, that they register to the same push helper. So it might be worth uninstalling one.
-
@danfro Yes i did uninstall the old Cinny and that's it! New Cinny sends the notifications now
Thank you very much. I'll try the bridges with signal and whatsapp and give you my feedback.Fairphone 3+ / BQ Aquaris M10 FHD / BQ Aquaris E5

Thank you guys for making Cinny work on UT, and for sharing these bridge tutorials! This has solved so much for me!
-
@RedXXIII Thanks for reporting back. Good to see it confirmed, that both Cinny's can't "live" next to each other.
-
@danfro
I see that as a feature.
Youo only have notification for one app, not double the amount (it would be annoying)
-
Screencasting and taking a screenshot of the desktop is a solution for scanning the QR code on the same device, if you don't have a spare phone.

So I managed to set this up. Thanks for the info! That was really helpfull. But now I have no clue how to use the Signal bridge in Cinny. How do I use it to send/receive a message?

@rdfrs The easiest way is to send each contact a message through Signal or Signal Desktop and then they will appear in Cinny. You should see an invitation come in for each of them.
-
@rdfrs in addition to what @Moem explained, you can also go to the room with signal bridge bot, there you can type
helpto get a full list of available commandsstart-chat PHONENUMBERto start a chat from the bot end, provide the phone number in international format as +1234567890
And once you have your chats as rooms in Cinny, you can type messages there as with any other room.

@danfro @Moem thank for the help! Its works perfectly. Do you know if there is also a bridge for whatsapp ?

Read through the thread, I believe there is a post about that. I don't use it myself.

Hi @rdfrs
I don't use WhatsApp, but yes there is a bridge:
https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/go/whatsapp/index.html -
I followed Sander's instructions to bridge Whatsapp through beeper and being accesible through Cinny.
It does work but I can not read the whatsapp messages as says that are encrypted.
Anyone know how to solve? -
@Moem Am I wrong to believe that this technique ruins end-to-end encryption and that the matrix server that acts as a relay ( here @signalbot:tchncs.de ) gets to access all your messages unencrypted?
