Hello
I cannot read my SMS, Chatty doesn't open anymore since the last update (libpurple?). When I naively tried to run it in command line by entering "chatty", it complained about a missing shared library libjabber.so.0. What can I do to fix it? Where should I look for error logs?
I tried building Chatty 0.6.4 from here
https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/tree/v0.6.4
but I had an error on the meson build stage (meson.build:113:0: ERROR: Subproject exists but has no meson.build file)
Try at your own risk, I forced installation of 0.6.4-1 from
https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/chatty/download
using
Code:
sudo apt-get install -f ./chatty_0.6.4-1_arm64.deb
and that worked for me. Hopefully my build attempts did not affect it and would work for others. I have not tested it but it runs i.e. launches as per normal.
Hopefully a fix will be available via the usual Mobian updates.
Pinephone v1.2 UBports CE. Adelaide, Australia using Amaysim SIM (Optus network, non-VoLTE) with Mobian SD card.
Manjaro Plasma Mobile on EMMC.
When building from source, I received an error for a missing libpurple0.so file. I had libpurple0 in my /var/cache/archives still so it worked after I downgraded by running:
dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libpurple0_2.14.8-1_arm64.deb
I did the same thing with pidgin-data prior to that, but I don't think it fixed anything.

Received update yesterday that included chatty. Chatty now launches successfully and I can send/receive texts again. The new chatty version has new features that seem quite useful.
I appreciate so much the work that all of the developers put into advancing this functionality of the pinephone. I will continue to support by using the device and software that I enjoy using. I will try to find other ways to support as best as I can.
