I am unsure as to whether I should post this on Signal's own repository or here, for you - as you can notice, I'm newbie when it comes to bugs and debugging...

I used to run this .rpm Signal through your repository a couple of months ago when I first found it. All of a sudden, it didn't launch at all when I clicked it on my menu (Fedora 28 Xfce.) I decided to ditch it and did sudo dnf remove signal-desktop.

Today I decided to give it another chance with a more up-to-date package as I noticed you updated the version 22 days ago. Same result: when I tap on it, nothing happens. I proceeded to run signal-desktop on terminal and this is the output:

signal-desktop-1.15.4-1.fc28.x86_64

If this is not an issue of packaging, could you please give me orientation - link of the issues repository and how to get more logs if necessary, please?

First off, thanks for setting this up. Could you please enable builds for f29 as well?

Also, are you looking at getting this officially into Fedora?

Sorry to bug you with this probably stupid question. I was getting the .rpm files from @sirmergealot at https://github.com/drahnr/signal-desktop-rpm/releases. I believe last couple of releases weren't working though. I see you've deprecated this repository and directed people to https://github.com/negativo17/Signal-Desktop but I do not see any package I could work with. Could you give me pointers on how to make it work, please? I'd ideally also want to check the current signal version I am running and hoping it doesn't get deleted from your releases section so that I can have the .rpm in hand, should @negativo17's not work either. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for releasing newer builds of signal-desktop, but running versions 1.20 and newer give me the No such module: fts5. 1.19 works just fine.

Also, the copr repo doesn't seem to fetch anything.

Hi Bernhard,

I've started to package signal-desktop in the openSUSE Build Service, here:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:gladiac:signal/signal-desktop

However buildroots don't have internet access to I provide a vendor.tar.xz with the requirements. However this node staff always wants to load something from the web and I'm still trying to prevent this. Especially as long as you download random stuff from the web you will never get a reproducible build.

As soon as I get it working my next step would be to add Fedora. If you're interested we could join our efforts, as I'm using Fedora too.
