Hi,
i realize that the Jami version installed on my Raspbian is “Together” built on 2021-04-17.

Because i have some stability issues,
i tried updating via the snap commandline and it didn’t do anything.
i uninstalled and re-installed the Jami snap, but Jami still gives the same version info.

then i saw on Install Jami on Linux | Snap Store it states

  • amd64 : snap version “latest/stable 20230323.0 23 March 2023”
  • amd64 : snap version “latest/edge 20230412.0 12 April 2023”
  • arm64 : snap version “latest/edge 20201027.1.3883929 17 April 2021”
  • armhf : snap version “latest/edge 20201027.1.3883929 17 April 2021”
  • i386 : snap version “latest/edge 20201027.1.3883929 17 April 2021”
  • s390x : snap version “latest/edge 20201027.1.3883929 17 April 2021”

Would it be possible for the RaspberryPI4 compatible version to get an update?

(I have a RaspberryPI 4. “uname -m” gives: aarch64. Running “Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)” )

Found an answer dated April '21 here

We do not provide a raspbian package anymore due to complications with cross-building our Qt package (libqt-jami), now used for building both the client library (lrc) and the Qt client (jami-qt). Since lrc is also built using libqt-jami, we cannot continue providing a jami-gnome raspbian package either.

Try to get help from the Ubuntu wiki

But that wouldn’t give me the newest Jami version on ARM64, would it?

On RPI4 raspbian12/Bookworm the apt “Jami” package works perfectly
(nb. don’t use the snap! which at the moment is outdated)

Could you try to run the daemon jamid e.g. with terminal command /usr/libexec/jamid -c -h or similar? Does it fail? Does it succeed? I assume you have no camera on your Raspberry Pi?

Please read Jami not running on Raspberry Pi 4? Jami not running on a machine without camera? and respond there, if you have time. Thank you!

Hi
(A bit late with my answer)
Because the snap package is still very old, i switched to flatpack.

Now i’m on a RPI 4B.
But with flatpack i run in another issue(something for another topic)
