FluffyChat Encryption via Pantalaimon

@lgtrombetta Can you check the logs? You can check the logs using the logviewer app?

thrrgilag

@lgtrombetta try closing the app and loading it back up again and see if it remembers your config. There might be a bug on the initial setup.

lgtrombetta

@thrrgilag here are the logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cwjJ78VpJd/

First time I closed and reopened the app it didn't remember the config, but since then it does remember and still no luck.

thrrgilag

@lgtrombetta okay if you could grab the log that would be the next place to look to see what errors might be getting thrown by the daemon

lgtrombetta

@thrrgilag here are the logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/cwjJ78VpJd/

Aren't these the correct ones?

thrrgilag

@lgtrombetta oh haha sorry guess I need more coffee this morning.

Interesting seems to not find the service either. Try disabling and re-enabling the service now, maybe a reboot after that.

What device are you runnning this on? I'll see if I can re-create this first-time experience and ferret out these bugs.

Tried it several times, still nothing.

So.. this is both on the Pinephone and on a Nexus 6p. The logs I sent you are from the latter. I know UT on both these devices is not feature complete yet, so the problem might as well be not specific to this app.

Let me know if you want me to try something else.

It works here on my Pinephone. Does the Pantalaimon app display something like pantalaimon start/running, process 1234?

lgtrombetta

@jonius yes.

I just realized using top via ssh that the process keeps respawning and changing its pid every 5 seconds. Is this behaviour expected? This is on both devices.

thrrgilag

@lgtrombetta If it keeps respawning it means it's failing to start properly.

theare27

@thrrgilag worth trying the previous binary (spawned via adb or ssh) rather than the .click?

thrrgilag

@theare27 good thought.

@lgtrombetta if you could try ssh or adb to the device and run it directly, that should hopefully make more apparent what the failure might be. You can do "stop pantalaimon" to make sure the service is stopped, followed by executing "/opt/click.ubuntu.com/pantalaimon.thrrgilag/current/pantalaimon"

lgtrombetta

@thrrgilag so it finally works. What I found running it as you suggested is that the homeserver address in the config must have the "http(s)://" prefix. While I had added it at some point during my testing, it turns out it must be there for all homeservers in the config in order for the service to start properly, and in my case it wasn't.

So, I feel a bit stupid, but I hope all of this can help to make the UX smoother

Awesome, glad you were able to get it sorted.

I very much appreciate your testing it out. This is the kind of feedback I was hoping for to make it better. Adding to my list of things to fix.

theare27

Out of interest, did you get anywhere with the issue with images?

thrrgilag

@theare27 not really, it seemed to be something to do with how fluffy was sourcing the image url, I found this bit in the logs..

QHttpNetworkConnectionPrivate::_q_hostLookupFinished could not de-queue request, failed to report HostNotFoundError
file:///opt/click.ubuntu.com/fluffychat.christianpauly/13.2/qml/components/Avatar.qml:30:13: QML QQuickImage: Host http not found

Haven't gone any deeper than that. Whatever the issue is though it seems specific to FluffyChat, other clients I've tested through pantalaimon (uMatriks on UT and Fractal on others) don't have that issue.

theare27

@thrrgilag Hmm, so I might be better off with uMatrix? I know it's unmaintained, but FluffyChat seems to be focusing more and more exclusively on the flutter version these days

thrrgilag

@theare27 I hope that once I get to the root of the problem I can submit a patch to FC to resolve it fully. That is once I get the time to, the day job has me pretty busy right now. If nothing else maybe bouncing between the two clients will suffice unitl a fix can be found.

theare27

@thrrgilag cheers, yeah I can bounce around when I need to see media until Fluffy Chat gets patched. Thanks for all your work

Hello, i've been struggling to install pantalaimon on my oneplus one, but now it's properly installed (thanks to your click image, great job btw).

Now i think i've found an issue : my homeserver has a .noho.st domain name (Yunohost free domains), and i think pantalaimon does not agree with it : it keeps deleting the stat the end so it fails to connect to it...
