Yep, it’s another bug. The “upgrade” broke Jami on my Ubuntu 24.04.3.LTS desktops and my 22.04 LTS desktop. Good job sqa testing… IMMEDIATELY broke two seconds after the snap refresh. It’s been several years and Jami is still obviously not ready to play in prime time. I really want to love this app but…

Homebrew, the Snap Store, and Flathub are the three package managers that have Jami for GNU/Linux.

1. Jami on Homebrew is community supported.

2. Jami on the Snap Store is currently officially supported. However, there are upstream problems with the Snap Store by Canonical, as unsupported architectures are unable to be removed from Canonical Snapcraft. It may be better to allow community support to take over if Jami is to continue to be available on Snap. Otherwise, it may be better to remove Jami from the Snap Store so that the Snap Store problems are eliminated. Another benefit of removing official support for Jami on the Snap Store is that packaging overhead would be reduced, as Jami is now officially supported on Flathub.

3. Jami as a Flatpak on Flathub is officially supported.

If you prefer to not use a package manager, Ubuntu 24.04 has officially supported Jami DEB installation files.

Jami is already playing in prime time for many.

Tired message delivery

Ive upgraded to 20250730-1 (464) for android manually on my fairphone 2 and its working great now. Before the status would go offiline but now its green all the time, messages getting delivered even when the phone is asleep. I feel a great improvement. Am running tests with a friend.
