I use the jami-qt package on my linux machine.
I am trying to link an account on my phone to my desktop, but the desktop app does not give me a QR-code to scan. The app on the phone asks me to scan a QR code or to enter an auth code, but the desktop app does not provide any of that.
Instead, the desktop app asks me to enter a code from the device I am exporting from??
I can’t figure out how to properly link an account from mobile to desktop.
I had that issue when I was using an old version of Jami on my Linux computer. For instance, the version listed here is not necessarily the latest: Download Jami for GNU/Linux (for Zorin OS 16). The info requires updating by the Jami Team.
The latest version is listed here: Zorin OS — Jami documentation (for Zorin OS 17)
I do not know what version of Linux you are using, but you might have a similar issue. Here is the link to the full list of installation instructions for Linux: Setup — Jami documentation
Can you please check that you have the latest version of Jami installed on your computer ?
I am using the Arch Linux package. (technically CachyOS package, but the only difference is that the CachyOS package is compiled for x86-64-v3 on my specific machine)
Yea, I see it is flagged out of date: Arch Linux - jami-qt 20241126.0-1 (x86_64)
Hmm, maybe I should try sending an email to the maintainer..
Unfortunately, Jami on Flathub is currently also out-of-date with version 20241126.
