Axolotl on PinePhone / Mobian

[zetabeta]

i said elsewhere, but maybe repeat.

i manage to install and register signal on waydroid x86_64 on a laptop. however, no camera support, so it means no linking to other apps, like signal-desktop. waydroid also requires wayland support, which may not be straitforward.

I have signal-desktop on my PC (RockPro64) and all my PinePhone installs. Compile once on the RockPro for aarch64 and install everywhere else :-)

Thank you both for your replies!
I think I will also try to use Signal desktop if I have a working ever Linux smartphone again.
(My both PinePhones went bad and are just annoying electronic waste now I'm afraid, so Axolotl currently doesn't really matter for me anymore...)
Again, thanks!

...and it works again! Texts are visible here since yesterdays regular Mobian updates - It's seems some component/framework(?) which was used by Axolotl in the background was buggy/wasn't compatible anymore... and is fixed now.

...it's somehow wierd (but nice! ) that Axolotl on Mobian STILL works here... (last version is from Oct 27 2022, I waiting for a critical change on the Signal infrastructure that finally kills Axolotl any day, but so far it still works! )

ezik

Code:

sudo apt-get purge axolotl

# if previous does not work, don't use as first option

sudo dpkg purge axolotl

you could use "aptitude" or other software manager program as well.

i don't recommend auto-updating for beta products like pinephone (pro).

but 

Code:

"E: Unable to locate package axolotl"

  the app exist in the pinephone but doesn't work properly

 ezik

dpkg can not find axolotl package as well

(with the command sudo dpkg --purge axolotl)

now i stat to have feeling that there is multiple overlapping installation, like flatpak, appimage, snap or even compiled from source. try to uninstall all of them, but given precise instructions might be inaccurate.

there was tow but both were from deb packge "axolotl_1.6.0-1_arm64.deb"
