How do I install Dino 0.3?

Only version 0.2 is available in the store.

I am running Byantium.

If you do not want to wait I see this package in:

apt list dino-im -a
Listing... Done
dino-im/bullseye-backports 0.3.0-2~bpo11+1 amd64

Please search this Forum for @amosbatto related post(s) on how to enable /bullseye-backports repo. Keep us informed when this package upgraded, would be nice to get/have your feedback. Just note that at this point of time I didn’t check if very same arm64 package available. Will do this afterwards.

EDIT: It is available: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye-backports/arm64/dino-im/download.

Before I saw your post, I learned that I could add what is called the “octarine” repo. That enabled me to install Dino 0.3.

But calls do not work at all, which is what I was wanting to work.

I wish I can confirm content of your last post, but I can’t:


Please take a look into it again.

Hmmmm…

Now I cannot find where I read that the package in this octarine repo is version 0.3. But it looks like you are proving that to be incorrect. I see the same result on my terminal as well.

The second post above by quarnero put me on the path to get Dino 0.3 installed. I kept it simple, since I’m just trying to test the application: I simply downloaded the dino-im and dino-im-common packages from the site quarnero discovered, and then installed them.

Dino “works” - I was able to send and hear audio on a voip call from within Dino, which is what I was mainly interested in testing - but scrolling through lists - contacts, messages - was flaky, didn’t always respond to swiping.

If you want to add multiple accounts, you should use some work arounds for now. See https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/Apps_Issues/-/issues/219#note_204807

Basically use vnc from a laptop to add the account.

So it seem that Dino it using VP8 for videocalling, so will great if Dino supporting Libcamera for the front Camera of the Librem 5, at the same time enabling the VP8 video hardware accelerator to encoding and decoding, this will improve the video motion together with the overclocked 63fps(kudos for purism) already in L5 and battery save while using Dino.
I guess the L5 is capable to encode vp8 using hantro.

Dino 0.4 is available via a personal flatpak repo https://github.com/flathub/im.dino.Dino/pull/5 (since it needs a newer gtk4 version, it won’t be possible to build a native deb on byzantium).
