#signaldesktop — Public Fediverse posts

Hey @signalapp, would it be possible to implement taking photos from within the #Signal #Desktop app?

See this feature request:
https://community.signalusers.org/t/feature-request-take-photo-in-signal-desktop/44829

I use the #Librem5 as my daily #phone with #Signal. Quickly making and sending a #photo from within Signal Desktop is really something I miss.

@SvenBothe @tinker @signalapp Technically, #SignalDesktop does not require a phone to sync with.

It requires a primary device to sync with at least once every 30 days... that duration could have been reduced since I checked last.

My primary device is my Linux desktop running Signal-Cli from Flathub.

A phone number is required once to activate a new account - at registration time only - afaik, and I still hate that requirement, for the record.

Screenshot of #SignalDesktop I took last year on #Librem5.

Regarding browsers, the default #FirefoxESR does not need any zooming in, and neither does #GnomeWeb, #Kumo or #AngelFish. On #BraveBrowser, I zoom in 125%.

Btw, being able to use desktop apps on #LinuxMobile is generally considered one of its advantages!

If you need to get signal-desktop working on a Linux machine where you don't have root and are using nix home-manager to install programs then you may need to use `signal-desktop --no-sandbox --disable-gpu` or it will die with an error about not being able to start the sandbox or finding the GPU libraries. #Signal #SignalDesktop

If you are trying to get signal-desktop to work and it is not working because you need to use one of the undocumented command line flags then this bug report where the community lists the undocumented command line flags they have found may be helpful (there is no --help): https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/3518 #Signal #SignalDesktop

@trashheap
the #MollyFOSS fork supposedly allows for linking more devices.

otherwise, #signaldesktop in #debian #proot in #termux?

or use a #e2ee messenger that doesn't limit multiple accounts or linking, like #deltachat.

Question for Linux folks using Signal

With the latest Signal Desktop, is anyone else having UX issues? Over here, Signal Desktop’s window lost its X button to close the window. Currently using elementaryOS.

Signal version is 7.79.0

Using elementaryOS 8

Boosts welcome

#Signal #SignalDesktop #Linux #elementaryos

Schon zum zweiten Mal in diesem Jahr: signal-desktop schließt mit einer Fehlermeldung und läßt sich dann nicht mehr starten – bis ein neues Update kommt. Fehlermeldung beim erneuten Start ist was mit Speicherzugriffsfehler.

Nur bei mir?

• Devuan Linux daedalus, aktueller Stand
• X11 mit icewm

@dos @ati1 @linmob That automatic switching from speaker to handset is only for the Calls app, right?

I was referring to #e2ee voice calls on #SignalDesktop, #ElementMessenger, #DinoIM and #DeltaChat. I did try #PureOS Crimson alpha a few days ago but forgot to test this, so would definitely be interested if there's any news regarding this : )

@Berker @Sxan Community maintained #flatpak version with ARM builds here: https://signalflatpak.github.io/signal/

#SignalMessenger does not allow the desktop version to be your primary device, so mine is #SignalCLI https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.asamk.SignalCli on my desktop, and the L5 is a linked device.

Btw, it looks like official ARM builds of #SignalDesktop will be available soon but for Debian-based distros only.

#postmarketOS #PureOS #Mobian

@kdieter In case you're not able to link, let me know what you're trying to do? What is your main device?

If you're using #signalcli as your primary, you can convert the device linking QR code from #SignalDesktop to a link and send to your primary device.

#Nixos fails to run #signal signal-desktop now that Signal 7.55.0 refuses to run and demands an update. A solution is not easy as far as I can tell. Does anyone have signal-desktop working on #nixos using e.g. the unstable branch. My investigations with using the unstable branch for the signal-desktop package are not working or demand making an overlay which seems excessive. #signaldesktop

#SignalDesktop (Flatpak 7.64.0) crashes, when attaching a file whose name contains ß

Looks like I'll have to file a bugreport.

@badrihippo @seshpenguin @espidev This looks like an Android device, but I have a similar setup using a #Playstation or #Microsoft webcams with the #Librem5 running #postmarketOS.

To be clear, the default camera app works for me so this is not needed, except for #SignalDesktop which doesn't detect the L5 Camera. #Jitsi on #Firefox detects default camera.

@proycon I think if you launch #signalcli once every 3 months, it will keep #SignalDesktop linked.

@Mer__edith @signalapp @purism @PINE64 @furilabs @postmarketOS @volla @ubports @mobian I understand that addition of linked desktop devices can be a security concern from Signal's point of view. However, please allow us the option (after registering/activating on Signal Android) to completely move to the #SignalDesktop and deactivate/deregister the mobile version altogether. You can even make this dependent on the mobile user granting permission.

Thank you for the great work you all are doing for #privacy and secure communication. Although we do not like the phone number requirement, we still consider Signal one of the best communication apps and have on-boarded countless numbers of users.

@internic Hi 😀​ pls update your #signaldesktop the current version is 7.45.1

Why does the @signalapp desktop application on Linux (Gnome) stop me from clicking on anything below it this far out from the window (see cursor in screenshot)?

This does not happen with other windows I've tested with.

#SignalDesktop #Gnome

@bhyoram @signalapp Agreed #electron apps are bloated. Still the unofficial ARM build of #SignalDesktop felt far more reliable and performant than Flare in my experience.

Playing around with #Pipewire patching!

Annoying my girlfriend with music over a Signal call worked perfectly!

All apps natively on pipewire: #G4music /#Gapless, patched with #qpwgraph into #signaldesktop (Electron garbage)

That is actually pretty easy! Just draw some lines from an output into an input and now you have 2 inputs!

#Signal 7.14 keeps crashing on startup for some users. The reason appears to be a failed migration on the local database.

Remember to create a backup. Consider #SignalDesktop as fallback.

kennt ihr das Problem auch wenn ihr Text-Stories mit Link in #Signal teilt und der Link auf anderen Geräten vor allem auf #Android verschwindet?

Ich habe dazu ein @signalapp #Bug Issue auf @github eröffnet: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/13657

Das Problem ist bei mir zu 100% reproduzierbar, wenn ich eine Story mit #SignalDesktop teile und mit #SignalAndoid öffne.

Wer das Problem kennt und Lösungen hat, schreibt das gerne. Habt ihr Ideen @signalappde ?

#SignalApp #FollowerPower

Soeben festgestellt: URLs mit Umlauten sind im Desktop-Client für Signal (Linux, Version 7.15.0) nicht zum direkten Aufruf im Browser anklickbar. Im Android-Client klappt das hingegen - bei der selben Nachricht.

The most annoying about #SignalDesktop is when you haven't opened it for some moments. I don't even know how long I should wait to launch the app 😑😑

Still not sure why #SignalDesktop crashes so often, but surely 1131G (even if it's “just” for VIRT) isn't a good sign?

Remember how all the data stored locally from Signal Desktop is completely unencrypted?

Since the developers clearly aren't interested in changing this, I've written a shell script that makes it a breeze to encrypt and decrypt your Signal Desktop data using VeraCrypt.

It will also create a launcher for you (an .app on MacOS and a shell script on Linux) to automatically mount the encrypted storage before launching Signal, and automatically unmount it when exiting.

Just run the launcher instead of the app, and pretend that the password prompt is a Signal feature :)
