Good evening everybody - hoping for some help here.
I’m logged in on an Android phone, and I’m trying to “import from another device” in Jami on my Linux Mint PC. It’s asking for a PIN code, but I can’t seem to find anywhere to get that PIN on the Android phone.
Has anyone run into this? Any ideas what I should do next?
Turned out the linking (QR/PIN) failures weren’t a bug in the pairing flow; one device had Jami installed from the default Ubuntu/Mint repo, which pulls a very outdated build (Dec 2023), while the other was on a recent build from the official dl.jami.net repo.
Fix: removed the distro package, added the official Jami APT repo (dl.jami.net), reinstalled; linking worked immediately after.
Might be worth a docs note warning that apt install jami on Ubuntu/Mint silently pulls from the outdated distro repo unless the official repo is added first. Totally my fault for trying to take the easy way…
Thanks for this amazing app, feel free to close the thread
