@flohack sorry for delay in getting back. I got 'sign in'. I think I did have an account a couple of years ago (same tel no.) - my understanding was that it would have been deleted after inactivity.

@lakotaubp Thank you very much! I set up the linux desktop app, managed to sign in - and was then able to sign in on Auaris/Ununtu Touch. Thank you to all who offered suggestions here!

@flohack Hello - I am not sure what 'ping me on telegram' means! (and I can't sign in telegram). Sorry for being obtuse - if you give me more detail I will have a go...

@flohack Hello, I did as you suggested - see http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ckFtWdKtqm/ - maybe when you have a little time you could see if there is anything that might be of use in getting telegram working for me? Thanks

@lakotaubp thank you

@lakotaubp I tried searching for this, but couln't find a way of setting up on a laptop running ubuntu. Maybe I will have to find someone with a windows PC.

Are there upsides/downsides to upgrading to 16.04 as far as you are concerned?

@flohack First time doing this - it has given me the address http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ckFtWdKtqm/
There are several attempts on there!
Does that tell you anything?

Hello again. I had several attempts and following advice on a thread I found I uninstalled, cleared config and cache, re-booted, reinstalled and then it hung at submitting tel no. - now just white screen when I start app. Don't think I can login with another client as I haven't set up the telegram account yet?

Is it an issue with having 15.04 not 16.04? not sure how to upgrade to 16.04 - or even if possible/recommended for bq 4.5? Any further ideas gratefully accepted!

thank you - I will search for telegram login - I did not get anything of use when I searched only for telegram! My phone is running Ubuntu 15.04(r3) - I put it on yestarday after the phone had been gathering dust for a while!

hello, i get to the stage of entering the code that has been texted to me, but this just hangs with spinning wheel - when the 2 mins times out i get the option to try with another code but this doesn't work.
After trying several times yesterday, today I had white screen on starting telegram. I deleted config and cache in terminal - now back to just not accepting sign-in code.
Any ideas?
