Axolotl on PinePhone / Mobian

[Zebulon Walton]

I did not delete them at first and got a cascade of errors relating .to config/textsecure.nanuc, so tried running axolotl again after deleting those in .config and .local with the results (404 error) reported above.

In addition to dukla2000:

Could you try to remove the two "textsecure.nanuc" folders, if you have backups, and remove+re-install Axolotl?

That should work - and yes, it takes some time for the first start, because the Electron package has to be downloaded at first start.

Thanks, I went ahead and did that and now axolotl comes up and asks for a phone number! Question before proceeding - can axolotl join an existing Signal group of devices that was previously created on a conventional smartphone or does it have to be the primary device?

Glad to hear you got it working.

But no, Axolotl cannot join an existing Signal account. It has to be the primary device. But you can join Signal Desktop. Signal for Android or iOS is primary only, too.

OK, I thought that was probably the case. So I'll use axolotl if I decide to create a new account of my own. I did try to install Signal desktop but apparently arm64 is currently not a supported architecture. (I tried installing from the Signal repository and using Snap.)

Hello there,

the latest update of libwpewebkit-1.0-3 from v2.30.6-1 to v2.32.1-1 makes Axolotl in daemonized setup unusable with the browser "cog" on my system.

Here you can find the old version, if you have the same problem and want to downgrade the library:

https://ftp.be.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/wpewebkit/

Installation from the download folder via

Code:

sudo apt install ./libwpewebkit-1.0-3_2.30.6-1_arm64.deb

Hopefully, there will be another update soon.

And to prevent apt from updating the package again, use the following

Code:

sudo apt-mark hold libwpewebkit-1.0-3

("unhold" reverts this)


Cheers

The latest version 2.32.3-2 fixes the problems with "cog" - so you can unhold the libwpewebkit-1.0-3 update.

Axolotl has some issues at the moment. The devs are on it.
