On linux, whether it is a native package or flatpak. I have to launch it twice for it to open.
Could it be yours is set to start in the tray?

I can’t restore chats from my phone to the desktop application which frankly sucks. It makes sense if they don’t wanna have to store extra data on their servers, but at least let the backups that I manually take on my phone be usable on the desktop. Not having the majority of your conversations from before you linked the desktop app is a pain in the arse.

Nope, its basically the same issue that the flatpak is happening, but I’m not using the flatpak. github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/issues/454

For me the january 13th solution seems to work, but I was doing that to begin with so I never noticed the issue. Signal flatpak, openSUSE Tumbleweed and KDE Plasma 6. Signal is started with --use-tray-icon --start-in-tray

Glad that it works for you. I may have to switch over to the flatpak then.

I never have to launch twice on flatpak.
And I only keep conversations for 2 to 4 weeks so starting over doesn’t bother me. Sorry if that doesn’t work for you too.

I don’t do temporary conversations, but this is the open issue on the flatpak github.com/flathub/org.signal.Signal/issues/454. The thing is, I’m having the same issue as the flatpak even though I’m not using the flatpak.

That sucks and they need to fix it. Still out hasn’t happened here yet. Are you on Gnome desktop environment?
D_Air1@lemmy.ml 4 months ago
Nope, I’m on KDE.
