Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

The only thing I can come up with is the location for received attachments. Those, by default, go into .local/share/harbour-whisperfish/storage/attachments.

Are these files you find media files you created on the phone and then sent to someone? I recall there was some discussion about whether to copy them to a dedicated WF directory, but decision was against if I recall correctly.

Thanks for replying so fast.
Very strange…
No, I didn’t send as many files. Maybe 1 or 2 pics, just for testing.
Thinking now: I was not able to setup whisperfish as simple user (vs Device Owner/defaultuser), as ssh is not possible there, so I had co rsync whisperfish dirs from /home/defauptuser to home/newuser (and chowned them). If there was some links to media dirs or so or maybe some wrong command I did?
Anyhow, I deleted them and it’s ok now.
Also thanks again for WF!

Edit:
Apologies.
Found in term history: I had inversed a cp command.

rubdos · 26 April 2022 14:07

Haha, that kind of archeological work is always fun

Inte · 6 May 2022 05:57

Whisperfish recently stopped working for me with:
[defaultuser@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]$ harbour-whisperfish
[2022-05-06T05:53:01Z ERROR harbour_whisperfish] The name be.rubdos.whisperfish was not provided by any .service files
[defaultuser@Xperia10II-DualSIM ~]$

Even reinstall wouldn’t fix.
Any ideas/ suggestions, anyone?
Thanks!

rubdos · 9 May 2022 14:38

Hi. So sorry for the delay, I was pretty sick with flu; I produced a few negative covid tests instead of code. Back alive and kicking, mostly, now.

Reinstall typically doesn’t fix anything on Linux systems. Can you run harbour-whisperfish --verbose and report back?

Inte · 9 May 2022 18:12

Oh, sorry from my side as well.
It started working again and I don’t know what it was. Might have been a frozen daemon since I can still reproduce the error message by trying to start a second instance while whisperfish is already running. Or I’ve been just stupid and I didn’t realize the first whisperfish instance while trying to start the second:-)
Thanks for your reply and all the best. Seems like we all to go through this Covid thing…

rubdos · 9 May 2022 20:05

Ah, maybe you updated Whisperfish while it was still running in daemon mode. That’s apparently a thing.

Funny thing is, I had COVID a few weeks ago, and that wasn’t nealy as bad as this flu. I mean, it was bad and I was very glad to have had the vaccine, but now I’m a bit sad I didn’t get the flu shot when I had it offered too :’-)

rubdos · 10 May 2022 12:26

I’ve pushed beta 9 to OpenRepos, which contains a bunch of fixes for stuff that happened in beta 8. I’ve pushed this out because we’re going to be rewriting some stuff again, which we want to decently test before pushing that to you guys

rubdos · 12 May 2022 18:56

So, looks like I forgot to hit save on the OR interface. I did that now

App Crashes when I try to send sms with 6digit code to my phone number

poetaster · 19 May 2022 06:58

More or less the story of my GF who had a really mild case of covid, followed a couple of weeks later by the flu that put her to bed. It took two weeks to get over the flu.

I hope you’re well again!

There’s a workaround here: Registration Workaround · Wiki · Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS · GitLab

It took until this Monday, but I feel better now

NIS · 25 May 2022 18:22

Hello, I tried the registration workaround on my new Xperia 10 III, but unfortunately, it didn’t work.

Whisperfish closed with the following output:

Has anybody an idea waht could be the problem here? Thanks in advance

d.geelen · 25 May 2022 18:41

Same problem here, also xperia 10 III.

ninepine · 25 May 2022 18:44

How quickly did you complete the process? You only have say 20 seconds to enter the details before you are timed out and the code expires.

NIS · 25 May 2022 18:52

20s???
I already tried as fast as I could. Maybe I will try it again, this time (hopefully) faster

NIS · 25 May 2022 19:39

I’ve tried it again and measured the time. It took me less than 20s and it still didn’t work

Has anybody a tip on how to complete the registration faster? (If the time even is the problem)

d.geelen · 25 May 2022 20:28

I doubt time is the problem. I also tried again a few times and I can complete the steps well before the captcha in the browser says ‘verification expired’. I’m putting the ‘prefix’ dropdown to my country code, and then putting my phone number without the leading zero. I assume that is correct because if I put the zero I get an error 400 bad request instead, and whisperfish shows and error and needs to restart.

bagginstyrone · 26 May 2022 06:30

I’ve been using Whisperfish for a few years now. It’s a fantastic product, and I’m glad to see that it’s being kept alive.

NIS · 26 May 2022 18:16

I finally managed to register!!

But now I have another problem: I can correctly receive messages, but I can’t send them. When I try it with --verbose , the last lines read this:
