Signal uses a stateful protocol, meaning that you cannot simply copy files to another instance of Signal or copy files after linking and using Signal. Manually transferring folders is not supported and may result in errors.
Here's what they have listed on their site ( ): I'm wondering if someone can help clarify these instructions for me, or if backing up the chat via Signal Desktop is possible. I'm absolutely terrified of potentially deleting our chat. If I'm correct, it seems like I would have to link and unlink both my phone and desktop and then delete the data. However, I don't fully understand the backup instructions for Signal Desktop. Luckily, I've also used Signal Desktop to chat with them shortly after starting to use Signal.
I've changed phones recently a month before they passed so unfortunately I don't have access to our chats from before April on my phone. They were super secure with their data (unfortunately this has cause us surviving loved ones even more trouble as we try to sort out logistics in the aftermath), so we had used Signal to text for the past year (we would text nearly every day for the past 15 years). Maybe I can provide a debug log and crash report if someone here can tell me what to look out for in such a case.Unfortunately, my best friend passed away unexpectedly about a month ago. Is there a bug in Signal’s desktop app for Linux or might some faulty Ubuntu preferences cause the crash? Does anyone know more about this issue? So, on Apple devices, everything seems to work just fine but this is not the case for desktop computers running Linux, I suppose. The same is true if I try to call someone from my laptop.Ī friend of mine does not have any problems with the Signal desktop app because he uses a MacBook. But if I try to accept it on my laptop, I can still hear the ringing sound and the desktop app on my laptop has crashed. If I accept it on my phone, everything just works fine. I can then decide whether I want to accept the call on my phone or laptop.
When someone tries to call me via Signal, my phone is ringing and my laptop notifies me as well with a ringing sound that someone is trying to call me.
( Update: The new version v5.0.0 also does not work.) The current version running on my laptop is v1.40.1. I have downloaded and installed the Signal for Desktop app via the Ubuntu Software Center.
