With the latest fixes landed in Adam Thiede ’s flatpak repository , you may want to give the Signal app another chance – it’s working on the L5 in portrait mode now: [image] Installing If you don’t have the Signal app installed, add Adam Thiede’s Flatpak repository first: sudo flatpak remote-add -…

You also have to add the Flathub repo as it contains the necessary runtimes needed to install signal: flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

I can confirm that in Spanish n, w, y, ñ, V, é, Í, ú don’t work and that ó works as “home” key in the line. I haven’t tried all the keys, so probably there are more bugs

I haven’t had any problems with the “Q” or “K” keys on Signal. The only problem I have is with capital “C” where it basically acts as a backspace. This is for default English US keyboard

interestingly, my capital C works fine. but if I turn on caps, the Q and K characters work and some others don’t. Pretty crazy bug, lol.

Did I understand this correctly to be a temporary workaround for the Chromium bug that would fix the Signal (and oth…

Good find! The MR hasn’t been merged yet or included in a release. I just tested the proposed change and found it to work flawlessly on the Signal Desktop flatpak.

@Lliure Awesome! :slight_smile: Now if you wouldn’t mind showing us noobs the steps you used to test it that would be equally appreciated! :slight_smile: EDIT: Just realised your link pointed to instructions! Haha, my bad.

Btw, you might have to install the devscripts, git and git-buildpackage packages before you begin following the steps from the merge request: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo apt install devscripts git git-buildpackage

Signal app now usable in portrait mode on L5
