Just to check, this would mean that we could start conversations from the whisperfish with our contacts or did I miss understand?
Yes, but only by username or by scanning a QR code, not yet via phone numbers.

Does username mean the name I have used to save the person to my contacts?
No, usernames and username links are specifically chosen by the contact: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/6712070553754-Phone-Number-Privacy-and-Usernames#username

Hello everyone. I had to set up Signal again, but the connection with Whisperfish as a second device no longer works. I reset it with ā rm -rf ~/.local/share/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/harbour-whisperfish ~/.local/share/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfishWhisperfish. I also reinstalled it. The same error keeps occurring. Does anyone know a solutionā¦ Thank youā¦
Are you sure you used the right command? In your comment, youāre trying to remove a directory called whisperfishWhisperfish, Iām not sure whether itās a copy-paste error here, or in your terminal. The right command would be rm -rf ~/.local/share/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/harbour-whisperfish ~/.local/share/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfish ~/.config/be.rubdos/harbour-whisperfish
Note that reinstalling an app is generally a no-op: it shouldnāt affect anything.

I tried your tipā¦ Same errorā¦
I can give you any other information or log. I would really like to continue using Whisperfishā¦
Did you reboot after deleting? I had an issue with registration today and that was the soln. Rm those three folders, reboot, re-register.
Yes. Already done. It doesnāt help. Iāll try again tomorrow. But first of all, thank you
I registered WF as secondary client on the same phone as Signal (primary, AAS).
I am a member of a Signal-group. The first three messages (sent by other people) in the group after registering Whisperfish only appeared on the Signal-client, the fourth on both clients and the fifth (an image) only on Whisperfish. What is going wrong here?
EDIT: both WF and Signal are newest version.
EDIT 2: after quitting WF (quitting, not just closing window), stopping AAS and starting Signal client again, the fifth message (the image) appeared as new message in the Signal client.
I have no chance. Canāt get Whisperfish to work anymore. Too bad at the moment. Is essential on the FP4. Matrix with bridge is just a rubbish solution
@manuel.sailfish: If you send me logs, I can try to help indeed. Try to remove the directories again, and the capture logs of you reproducing the issue, and you can DM them to me.
Whisperfish currently doesnāt really correctly synchronize group information at link time, before starting to receive messages. Your main client missing a message is, to the best of my guesstimates, a fluke, and shouldnāt be related to Whisperfish at all. I took note of your first issue here: Synchronize information after linking as secondary (#780) Ā· Issues Ā· Whisperfish / Whisperfish - Signal on Sailfish OS Ā· GitLab

Rebooting should never really mean anything. If you had ādaemon modeā enabled, that might explain why a reboot āhelpedā. Iām starting to regret that we ever introduced it, honestly. Itās confusing so many peopleā¦

Please keep it, i think daemon mode is really useful as , afaik there is no āpushā capability on Sailfish native.

Yeh, Iām aware that there are plenty of people using itā¦ but Iām thinking in terms of the new user influx due Jolla Phone:
- Only have it in the OpenRepos/Chum versions (and not on Harbour)
- Document it way better
