Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

Objectifnul · 12 June 2021 15:25

Well, I finally uninstalled Whisperfish, deleted all configuration files, then rebooted, reinstalled Whisperfish 0.6.0-beta3 and tried to register: no way (did not receive confirmation SMS). Then I installed the Android app, which works.

Do you think my problem might be explained by my SFOS release (still Rokua)?

rubdos · 12 June 2021 15:46

Rokua shouldn’t be a problem. You removed both .local/share/harbour-whisperfish as well as .config/harbour-whisperfish, right? If that’s the case, I’ll be glad to look at a log while you try to register. If you get a generic “registration failed” page, you probably have Registration Lock turned on: Frequenty Asked Questions · Wiki · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab, but I actually think that you do get an SMS before that triggers… so that’s probably not it. All in all, I think you hit a legitimate bug, so sending me a bug report with --verbose logging is probably the way to go forward.

Objectifnul · 12 June 2021 16:26

Okay. Trying to find whisperfish logs, not found so far. By the way, " .local/share/harbour-whisperfish" does not exist on my device. Maybe this is a significant info

I created manually ‘.local/share/harbour-whisperfish/’ then subfolders ‘storage’ and ‘storage/attachments’. Does not solve the issue.

Log file just sent to you by email.

rubdos · 12 June 2021 17:37

The storage is only created after registering. I’ve replied to your email, looks like you can’t see the captcha screen?

rubdos · 23 July 2021 12:37

Whisperfish 0.6.0 beta.4 should fix the never ending stream of “This message is empty” (thanks to @direc85 for helping to debug this!), and updates a few dependencies. Should be out on OR in an hour or so.

rubdos · 26 July 2021 07:23

There seems to be some incompatibility between SailfishOS 4.2 and Whisperfish 0.6.0 beta.4, probably also earlier versions. Maybe wait a bit until I see it’s clear.

Hoxifi · 27 July 2021 13:05

Does anyone else have the problem that after updating to latest 0.6.0 beta.4, they cannot receive attachments?

rubdos · 27 July 2021 15:25

That’s new to me. If you can consistently reproduce it, I would love to read some logs from when it happens.

Maybe double-check your .local/config/harbour-whisperfish/harbour-whisperfish.conf for the line attachment_dir, it may point to a wrong home dir.

Hoxifi · 27 July 2021 19:34

Config file was Ok.
When receiving attachment, nothing happens in the UI - no notification etc. However, it logs the following:

rubdos · 28 July 2021 09:31

Aha. I know what’s up. These are attachment messages without any text, right?

direc85 · 28 July 2021 09:37

Confirming. I can’t receive attachments without text either. (And I also have a faint clue what’s going on )

rubdos · 28 July 2021 12:16

@direc85 confirmed to me on Matrix that beta.5 fixes this issue, so that’s now available on OpenRepos!

cquence · 28 July 2021 14:36

Does the build pipeline pull translations from Weblate automatically? I have fixed some typos I made in the past and don’t see them included in beta.5 although they are fixed in Weblate

Hoxifi · 28 July 2021 17:51

Thank you for the quick fix. Looking forward to seeing what’s coming up in future releases of Whisperfish.

rubdos · 29 July 2021 07:16

Almost automatically, I have to hit merge now and then. The last merge was 6 days ago, right before beta.4. Example: Translations update from Weblate (!193) · Merge requests · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab

Hej Rubdos,

my Whisperfish install is not connecting to my account anymore. The icon stays red. I installed Signal on another device and think that caused the delinking of my SF device. I would like to reregister my Whisperfish client and continue using it on my SF device. I deleted all files in .config and .local, I also searched my system for anything called whisper* and deleted it. I deleted also the app and redownloaded. But when I start the fresh install I still login into my previous account that does not connect anymore. What to do?

I am on Beta.5 and in settings it is written that my websocket is disconnected.

PS: If somebody else have the problem with reregistering I have the problem fixed with this line of code

rm -rf ~/.local/share/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/harbour-whisperfish

rubdos · 5 August 2021 07:57

FYI, it was on the Wiki too: Frequenty Asked Questions · Wiki · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab

Glad you got it fixed!

monkeyisland · 30 August 2021 09:31

Hello since Saturday i cant receive any message. Also no sending is possible. The message is marked with circle. What does it mean?

rubdos · 30 August 2021 09:57

I haven’t seen anything like that lately; can you provide a log? Home · Wiki · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab
