Signal UT: Signal-Desktop for Ubuntu Touch

danfro

@pparent please don't get me wrong. I know that 2.x daily is bleeding edge, so I don't expect you to fix that imediately. Just wanted to share my experience.
Interesting that @ida_ gets it working eventually. Maybe I would need to try more often.

@pparent yea, it has improved, thanks! one question: was it before that one can only send one single picture?

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.

@danfro

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

@pparent thanks a lot for the quick response. Just some feedback in case others try that:

yes, the app now opens, but...

I can't close it, when swiping into the drawer, it becomes a transparent window which I can't swipe to close
I couldn't reboot with the power button since that was somehow blocked

I hope that makes some sense to you.

I really don't think this can have anything to do with running Signal UT, including the patch I've shared above. I don't see how the app could have an impact on the effect of your power button. Especially because it's confined.

I see that happening from time to time, including with other apps. I think it's more a Lomiri bug. Anyway you can just start another time the app, and kill the launcher indicator, it should kill the remaining transparent window.

@pparent my description was maybe not clear enough. The power button itself works. It brings up the power menu, but pressing the buttons failed. But I can't reproduce it right now (after a reboot). So who knows...

I have that now and then... But no idea what may be causing it.
