signal-desktop's Introduction

This is the snap for Signal Desktop. It is a community-maintained package to easily install Signal Desktop on Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian and other major Linux distributions. It is available in the Snap Store, Ubuntu Software, and a number of other applications.

"Signal Desktop is a private messaging app for your desktop"

Install

snap install signal-desktop

(Don't have snapd installed?)

Snap Configuration

option	default	description
tray-icon	false	Whether or not to use the system tray (minimize to tray) support. This is disabled by default per the request of the Signal developers, because system tray support is not stable. Set to `false`, Signal will stop when you close it and will not have a system tray icon. Set to `true`, Signal will minimize to tray when you close it, and will have a system tray icon on supported desktops.

You can change Snap configuration by running snap set signal-desktop <key>=<value>. For example, snap set signal-desktop tray-icon=true.

How to contribute to this snap

Thanks for your interest! Below you find instructions to help you contribute to this snap.

The general workflow is to submit pull requests that merges your changes into the candidate branch here on GitHub. Once the pull request has been merged, a GitHub action will automatically build the snap and publish it to the candidate channel in the Snap Store. Once the snap has been tested thoroughly, we promote it to the stable channel so all our users get it!

Initial setup

If this is your first time contributing to this snap, you first need to set up your own fork of this repository.

Fork the repository into your own GitHub namespace.
Clone your fork, so that you have it on your local computer.
Configure your local repo. To make things a bit more intuitive, we will rename your fork's remote to myfork, and add the snapcrafters repo as snapcrafters.
```
git remote rename origin myfork
git remote add snapcrafters https://github.com/snapcrafters/signal-desktop.git
git fetch --all
```

Submitting changes in a pull request

Once you're all setup for contributing, keep in mind that you want the git information to be all up-to-date. So if you haven't "fetched" all changes in a while, start with that:

git fetch --all -p

Now that your git metadata has been updated you are ready to create a bugfix branch, make your changes, and open a pull request.

All pull requests should go to the stable branch so create your branch as a copy of the stable branch:
```
git checkout -b my-bugfix-branch snapcrafters/candidate
```
Make your desired changes and build a snap locally for testing:
```
snapcraft --use-lxd
```
After you are happy with your changes, commit them and push them to your fork so they are available on GitHub:
```
git commit -a
git push -u myfork my-bugfix-branch
```
Then, open up a pull request from your my-bugfix-branch to the snapcrafters/candidate branch.
Once you've opened the pull request, it will automatically trigger the build-test action that will launch a build of the snap. You can watch the progress of the snap build from your pull request (Show all checks -> Details). Once the snap build has completed, you can find the built snap (to test with) under "Artifacts".
Someone from the team will review the open pull request and either merge it or start a discussion with you with additional changes or clarification needed.
Once the pull request has been merged into the stable branch, a GitHub action will rebuild the snap using your changes and publish it to the Snap Store into the candidate channel. After sufficient testing of the snap from the candidate channel, one of the maintainers or administrators will promote the snap to the stable branch in the Snap Store.

Keyboard doesn't work on Fedora

Installed signal-desktop snap on fedora 32, typing on keyboard doesn't show any characters.
Cut and paste works. It just won't accept any keyboard input.

Additionally when I try to include a file, the file select dialog shows broken unicode characters, which might be a hint at what's wrong.

Snap app crashes if upgraded in the background

-- Copy of bug report on signalapp/Signal-Desktop#3793 --

I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates

Bug Description

The Signal Desktop Snap app in Ubuntu 18.04 crashes after a running for a while with following error message:

Unhandled Error

Error: EACCES: permission denied, rename '/home/bwelmers/snap/signal-desktop/219/.config/Signal/logs/log.log.1' -> '/home/bwelmers/snap/signal-desktop/219/.config/Signal/logs/log.log.2'

When looking in the list of Signal snap versions:

/dev/loop7                              98M   98M     0 100% /snap/signal-desktop/219
/dev/loop10                             98M   98M     0 100% /snap/signal-desktop/235

it looks like the snap is upgraded in the background and somehow the running instance of Signal does not handle this correctly and keeps trying to use the older config directory.

Steps to Reproduce

Unfortunately not easy, but something like this

install signal-desktop snap app and launch it, login to it, use it etc
let it run until a new version is installed by snapd
wait until the log needs to be rotated. Looks like that is done on daily basis.

Actual Result:

Crash

Expected Result:

Should not crash.

Add plugs for camera and audio-record to Signal snap?

In the latest Signal desktop versions, you can now do audio and video calls. The list of connections in the snap does not show any interface for camera and audio recording.

This probably needs to change to make use of the new features.

No sound

Hi,
there no sound when installed on CentOS 7 (5.12.x/5.13.x), and I think it's was working before (when?): notifications make no sound, playing audio messages make no sound, etc.
In output, I see this:
ALSA lib conf.c:3916:(snd_config_update_r) Cannot access file /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
ALSA lib pcm.c:2495:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

ALSA lib pcm.c:2495:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM plug:default
(/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf exists and sound works as expected on desktop in other apps).

Rendering issue in snap version of Signal Desktop v1.27.2

Upstream issue: signalapp/Signal-Desktop#3574 (comment)

A Signal developer said that the snap build needs its process updated.

launching armhf signal-desktop 1.30.0 crashes (Raspbian, Debian 10, Raspberry Pi 4)

Hello,
I installed the latest (32-bit) Raspbian, on a Raspberry Pi 4. It's all updated. Installed signal-desktop with:

sudo snap install --edge signal-desktop

Then I had to add the line:

export PATH=$PATH:/snap/bin

...to the end of my ~/.profile and reboot.

Then I could run the command "signal-desktop" from a command line. But it crashes, never having appeared on the screen. The error message looks like this:

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-${PLATFORM}.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.
/snap/signal-desktop/297/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: line 543: /snap/signal-desktop/297/opt/Signal/signal-desktop: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/snap/signal-desktop/297/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: line 543: /snap/signal-desktop/297/opt/Signal/signal-desktop: Success

That first line starting with "ERROR" is repeated many times. Also near the start of the error output is this warning:

/bin/bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)

Incoming call rings, but application freezes

When a call comes in, Signal rings, I see the icon of the caller, and I see a button by which to answer. When I press the answer button, I get what seems a normal full-screen display, with three buttons--"video," "camera," and "hang up." But although the ring keeps ringing, the Signal Desktop application freezes. The only way out seems to be to kill the application process.

Issue detailed on Signal's Github bug-tracking page:

signalapp/Signal-Desktop#5009

Almost certainly a Snap issue.

Update Signal Desktop icon, screenshots and description on the Snapcraft store

I think it's time to update this app's Snapcraft store listing:

Update the app's icon.
Update screenshots. Something like this would give people a better idea of what to expect.
Update the description based on new content on the Signal.org homepage. It might also be a good idea to copy what they've done on https://signal.org/download/ and mention that "to use the Signal desktop app, Signal must first be installed on your phone."

Something like this could work for the updated description:

To use the Signal desktop app, Signal must first be installed on your phone.

Missing font in file dialog

When composing a message, I pressed "+" button, and got the following view.

Even after installing "Caracteres L1" font into ~/.local/share/fonts the problem persists.

Signal fails to start on Ubuntu 18.10 with wayland

Trying to start it here, I'm getting:

stgraber@castiana:~$ snap run signal-desktop
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory
realpath: '': No such file or directory

Note that telegram-desktop works just fine, so it doesn't appear to be a generic problem with those kind of electron apps.

Signal can't be re-run if one of the standard HOME dirs (e.g. ~/Documents) is a symlink

Just to clarify — this isn't about the snap not having access to these directories if they're symlinks, but that signal-desktop itself completely fails to run more than once if they're symlinks.

To reproduce

(On Ubuntu 16.04.)

Make ~/Documents a symlink and run signal-desktop for the first time.

mv Documents Documents_back
EXTERNAL_DOCUMENTS_DIRECTORY=/media/aplaice/drive/Documents/
mkdir -p "$EXTERNAL_DOCUMENTS_DIRECTORY"
ln -s "$EXTERNAL_DOCUMENTS_DIRECTORY" Documents
# sudo snap install signal-desktop
snap run signal-desktop # or just signal-desktop

Quit signal-desktop (with or without doing anything in the application itself).

Try running signal-desktop a second time.

snap run signal-desktop

Expected behaviour

signal-desktop starts both times.

Actual behaviour

signal-desktop starts correctly the first time, but fails silently (without any graphical or terminal feedback, but with an exit code — obtained with $? — of 1) the second time.

Further details

Cleaning out ~/snap/signal-desktop/ allows you to run signal-desktop once more, "resetting the counter". In particular, removing both ~/snap/signal-desktop/current/.config/user-dirs.dirs and all the symlinks to the "HOME" directories (~/snap/signal-desktop/current/Documents/ etc.) is sufficient to "reset the counter". Obviously, since these are regenerated every time signal-desktop is run, this isn't a solution.

Speculation

Interestingly, if one "disconnects" the home directory:

sudo snap disconnect signal-desktop:home

so that signal-desktop doesn't have read/write access to the home directory, signal-desktop will still fail exactly as above (if ~/Documents/ is a symlink). However, if ~/Documents/ and the other XDG user dirs are not symlinks, (but :home is still "disconnected"), signal-desktop will run completely fine. This suggests (but I have extremely little experience with snap, so this might be a completely false lead) that the bug isn't due to signal-desktop itself, but due to some of its snap helpers/wrappers.

If the symlink is into one of the standard XDG user dirs, e.g.

ln -s  ~/Videos/Documents ~/Documents

obviously if ~/Videos itself isn't a symlink, the bug also does not occur — signal-desktop (re-)runs correctly.

Ubuntu 18.04

On Ubuntu Mate 18.04, if ~/Documents is a symlink, signal-desktop fails to start even the first time. (Otherwise it works fine.) I have not had time to test this with Ubuntu GNOME 18.04.

Logitech webcam (video feed) is not working

I tried to use one of my webcams on the laptop (one built-in; one via USB by Logitech), but neither is recognized by Signal. This problem only occurs if I use the snap version. The strange thing is, that the built-in microphone in the webcam is recognized by Signal.
Installing and using the Signal version directly from the Signal webpage following the "Linux (Debian-based) Install Instructions" works flawless. Therefore I believe, that the snap version is missing some permissions to access the webcams.

I'm using Xubuntu 21.04 (64-bit) on a Sony Vaio Laptop with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3612QM CPU @ 2.10GHz.

"Error handling incoming message" after each update or reopen of the app

$ snap list signal-desktop
Name            Version  Rev  Tracking       Publisher     Notes
signal-desktop  1.34.5   327  latest/stable  snapcrafters  -

For a while now, whenever I close the app, receive a few messages and then reopen it, I get a deluge of "Error handling incoming message".

Most of the time resetting the session helps, but often, it's just simpler to disconnect and reconnect. This seems only to happen on the snap package. The .deb doesn't have this problem. I'm not sure how the app works, but I'm guessing somewhere, the state isn't saved and when restarting, it can't rebuild the key chain for the double ratchet algorithm to work.

`symbol lookup error` when trying to attach or download file

When I try to send a file (i.e. click on the +) or to download a file attachment (i.e. click on the ⤓), signal-desktop crashes with the following message:

/snap/signal-desktop/318/opt/Signal/signal-desktop --use-tray-icon --no-sandbox: symbol lookup error: /snap/signal-desktop/318/gnome-platform/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_xlib_surface_create

May be related to signalapp/Signal-Desktop#4061

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04.

Data not copied over

Copied over from signalapp/Signal-Desktop#1798 (comment)

" I am having some trouble with this snap package. On my system, I have to use the --classic switch because otherwise the app will fail to start. So I have ~/snap/signal-desktop and within that, there's a folder "83" and a folder "90". Back when I installed it, it was only "83" there and within that folder, the app created a .config/Signal directory to store the settings and messages.
But after the app got updated and the "90" folder appeared, the .config/Signal directory was not copied over to the "90" folder. I had to manually do this in order for the updated version to access the saved conversations. I assume I will need to do this again once Signal gets updated the next time."

After restarting to update the app, recent messages have disappeared from all conversation histories and they all say "chat session refreshed"

I filed an issue for this over at the upstream repository, but the Signal folks indicated that this was likely a Snap-specific problem, so I'm refiling it here and linking to the original.

Original upstream bug report:

signalapp/Signal-Desktop#5364

Bug Description

The last two times I've updated Signal Desktop to the latest version, the application appears to have lost data after restarting the app. Everything works fine and all conversations are perfectly in sync with my Android device before the upgrade, but after I quit and restart the application on the updated version, it's as if the internal state of Signal Desktop was thrown back in time: messages from the last several hours (both incoming and outgoing) that used to be there have disappeared from conversation histories. The "Note to Self" conversation immediately shows "Chat session refreshed" and any individual or group conversations where I send a new message from my phone will instantly show "Chat session refreshed" on the desktop app after I send the message from my phone. After each of my conversations has gone through the "Chat session refreshed" process, everything seems to work again without any problems going forward until the next application update.

The most recent update I did where this problem occurred was going from version 5.3.0 to 5.6.1.

Steps to Reproduce

Exit Signal Desktop (the old version) via the menu bar: File -> Quit Signal
Just to be sure, wait about one minute or so to make sure the application has fully quit, and verify that the OS does not list any "signal-desktop" running processes
Launch Signal Desktop again from the system's application menu. The new version of Signal will start (having already been downloaded and staged in the background by snapd, waiting for the next application restart).
Observe the behavior described above where recent messages have disappeared and chat sessions need to be refreshed

Actual Result:

Please see details listed in "Bug Description".

Expected Result:

Signal Desktop starts up normally after an upgrade, and all messages that it had previously successfully received should still be present. Also, there should not be a need to refresh every single chat session.

Feature request: Turn off unread counter

I would like to be able to turn off the unread messages counter in the task bar (red circle with a number in it).
Now it seems I can only turn off the notifications.

(Please let me know if this feature request should be sent to the developers of the .deb version)

Device link lost after upgrade due to version specific config

This is probably related to #1.

After an upgrade in ~/snap/signal-desktop a new directory is created for the new version. In this case it is the recent update from 114 to 115. The version specific directory contains the device link. Thus, signal breaks after an upgrade because the device binding is gone.

Shouldn't the config be placed in the common folder?

% ls -a 114
./  ../  .config/  .last_revision  .local/  .themes@
% ls -a 115   
./  ../  .config/  .last_revision  .local/  .themes@
% ls -a common
./  ../  .cache/

Can't Click URLs in Signal

I'm running the Signal snap (v 1.32.3) on Fedora 32 / Gnome 3.36.1.

When someone sends me a link via Signal, the link is formatted correctly and the mouse cursor changes to indicate the link is clickable, but when I click nothing happens. I have Firefox set as my default handler in Gnome settings.

I'm open to this being a config issue on my end, but googling hasn't led me to an answer yet.
If there's any logging/debug info I can provide, please let me know!

Attempting to download media file crashes app in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic

I raised this issue with the signal-desktop developers and with their help it was concluded this was due at least to an icon missing from the Adwaita icon set.
Since this is a snap packaging issue it could be more suitable addressed by the snap building team.

See the now-closed bug report:
Signal-Desktop, issue 3447

The error message when running signal-desktop from the command line is:

Faster adoption of new signal releases

Hello,

it would be nice if the snap stays more up to date to the newest signal release.
Currently the latest stable snap version is 5.7.1 (which is was released on june 30), newest official one is 5.12.2 from today.

Feature request: Verify upstream GPG signature

Looking at the Snapcraft.yaml file, it doesn't look like there's any verification going on here for the fetched .deb file. For a security-focused application (or really any application) I think it would be a good idea if we verify the deb package as it gets pulled into the Snap build.

Does it make sense to include a gpg --verify step in the override-build: section?

Build on armv7hf/arm64?

I have a Acer Chromebook r13 and I'm trying to use signal desktop on it.

Currently the Android app doesn't work on tablets, and it seems that ChromeOS falls under this category.

Also their .deb package for xenial is only built for amd64. Also, considering how reluctant they are to build for x86-32, asking there seems unlikely to produce results anytime soon. Also, armv7 compatibility with raspberry pi brings in complications with older board versions that don't support HF, so I'm not asking for that. armv7hf may be an ok compromise. It won't work on old RPI boards, but anything armv7hf compatible and up will.

Any chance the snap can be built for armv7hf and/or arm64?

Despite all my research and efforts, spellchecking does not work and with my old AUR version too. Yet Hunspell seems well configured. I have no problem with other apps like Chromium or Firefox. My OS is Manjaro Linux. Same issue on my other PC (Manjaro too).
Thank you for your help.
