can communi be ported to some other linux system other than sailfish? it is really cool and i enjoy it a lot, but i'd like to enjoy it on some pinephone os, like postmarketos and manjaro.

There's a desktop version called Communi-Desktop that uses the same framework but with a different ui:

No more IRC Client for aarch64, it's just sad. The dev gives a shit bout any requests

norayr's picture

i like the program. are the logs kept somewhere? if they are, and it is a db, not plain text files, how to work with db to extract logs and convert to plain text?

skv's picture

Tried the app on a clean Sailfish OS 3.2.1.20. I see only 'Welcome to IRC: pull  down to add a network' and can't do much. As I pull down screen goes slightly darker, but nothing happens. There is inactive 'Accept' button in the right upper corner. Maybe I should accept something, before using the app, but I just can't.

Version used: harbour-communi-0.10-1.12.1.jolla.armv7hl
 

 

If the app is running from terminal

It seems to disconnect/reconnect very often (like 2-3 times per hour when on the move, bit less while stationary) and no warnings-errors when the sent chat messages are not received (had a small conversation with myself on #mer, until thought about checking the logs and yup, none of them got through), been testing device-built irssi to see if this is a global thing due to mobile phone connectivity and cannot reproduce with it, seems to stay connected so far for 2.5h straight, maybe some qt bug

edit: yeah irssi went on for 8h without any hitches, definitely something with the qt side of things

JacekJagosz's picture

For me after a few hours of using it it just stops receiving messages, but still stays connected. Only when I try to send a message it disconnects from all channels. It is extremely infuriating, I might be in the middle of a conversation, stop receiving notifications wiyhout any warning, and realise an hour later loosing a lot.
Could you please add warning or best automatic reconnect to channels?

Thaodan's picture

Never noticed something like this.

Can you debug this further, provide logs and post a bug on github?

JacekJagosz's picture

Would it be possible to implement automatic reconnect to channels? If I lose connection it reconnects to Freenode but not to any channels I was connected to.

Thaodan's picture

Aand without logs I can't help you..

atlochowski's picture

I removed your repository and add it again and know.it's possible to install your app

atlochowski's picture

Yes, there is only one version and it's impossible to install it through storeman. I removed app through storeman and tried to install it again and there is no option to install it.

Thaodan's picture

Have you looked again?
Now there should be only one version at Openrepos. Have you installed it through the Jolla store before?

atlochowski's picture

After publishing new version it was impossible to me to download it through Storman and install it.

The only way to install newest version was download it from openrepos website and install from rpm package.

For some reason Storeman can't see the newest version.

☺ Awesome

Kabouik's picture

Hey, thanks for the app. Using it regularly since the first version released in the early age of Sailfish.

Is DCC a planned feature? It would be awesome to have it.

Thaodan's picture

If the core supports it I'll try.

flypig's picture

I used to get reboots (see my earlier comments!), but since upgrading to SFOS3 (Sailfish X on Xperia X) I no longer experience them. That's using the version from the Jolla Store.

Piece_Maker's picture

My Sailfish X doesn't reboot with this app, but I've got another odd problem compared to the Jolla store version - I'm in a lot of developer-oriented rooms who have auto github bots and the like, but the bot posts seem to just appear in whatever channel I've actually selected rather than keeping themselves in their own channel.

I've tried flicking the switches in the settings panel but it's still happening!

mika77's picture

Thanks for updating the app. Now it is possible to install it. It has a bug (not sure if is the app or Sailfish X bug) when I try to use ir in my Xperia (single sim mode) it makes my phone to reboot. Steps to reproduce the bug:

1- Open the app

2- Connect to an IRC network

3. Close the app

This steps makes the phone to reboot. If you tell me how to do it, I will be happy to provide you logs or whatever you need to check this :D

Thaodan's picture

Any news on this?

Thaodan's picture

You can enable developer mode, login via ssh on your phone run:


harbour-communi 2>&1 |tee harbour-communi.log

I'm using a Xperia X too and I doubt that's the issue.

flypig's picture

I thought I'd have a go building the source and running it through the debugger, but calling git submodule update --init gives the following:

fatal: remote error:
  Repository not found.
fatal: clone of 'git://github.com/jpnurmi/quassel.git' into submodule path 'src/3rdparty/quassel' failed

Can I get this code from anywhere else?

Thaodan's picture

You need to use a different branch, my branch is lyro_merge.

flypig's picture

I also experience this on an Xperia X. Everything seems to work fine, but closing the app causes the phone to reboot. It's a real shame, as it's great otherwise. Obviously it isn't really usable if this happens :(

I logged the output over SSH as you suggested, but it doesn't look very interesting:
