Axolotl on PinePhone / Mobian

[arno_nuehm]

there are still some bugs in v0.9.9, which make it sometimes hard to add contacts and link signal desktop.

have you tried to use the server/browser setup? with firefox, it is possible to link signal desktop and adding contacts, too. that workaround did it for me.

and fyi: i will definitely provide a new deb-package, when the next version is out - this time hopefully more "debian-like".

have a nice day!

Thank you, @arno_nuehm ! Looking forward to the next version then.

Well, I installed Axolotl with a completely fresh mobian installation, but I still cannot add contacts or devices.

Where can I find more info about linking firefox with the signal desktop? Tried to figure it out, but failed.

How do you paste by the way, does that work on your phone, @Pelecanus ? (I have to attach a keyboard an use STRG V).

--> pasting: i'm switching to the squeekboard terminal keyboard (tap on the globe) and press strg+v - that should work.
--> contacts: that should work with the actual version, the bug was closed with 0.9.9... seems weird, that it doesn't in your case. i just tested it...
--> signal desktop: try to use the daemonized server setup with the two other desktop files, which came with the deb file (axolotl-server.desktop and axolotl-browser.desktop in /usr/share/applications) - in firefox, the linking worked for me nicely.


EDIT: from the mobian-dev telegram group: "Here I sometimes had to close the app and reopen for the app to show imported contacts. You can also check `./config/textsecure.nanuc/registeredContacts.yml`to see if they did get added there." - maybe that's the same for you, when adding new contacts.
