I installed Dino version 0.4.2 from the PureOS Store, and it doesn’t support audio notifications out-of-the-box. Is there a special package that needs to be installed for audio notifications to work? I also tried the flatpak version (0.4.2), but it has the same problem. I don’t want to compile it myself, if that’s the only option.
For now, I am using both Purism’s Chats app and Dino. I prefer the design of Chats (and the audio notifications), so I use it for messages, while I use Dino only for calls.
So is there something simple I can do (package install) in order to enable audio notifications for Dino?
Also, does anyone know if there are any plans to incorporate XMPP calls into Purism’s Calls app? I know they are working on Matrix calls, but it would be nice if they also included XMPP calls.
I believe this post is what you are looking for on the notifications: Notifications for Apps
I integrate JMP.chat with Dino and Chatty. Works almost flawlessly. I have to remember to turn off the XMPP account in Chatty to properly us cellular though. It is annoying.
Thanks for the info. I guess we have to wait for the Dino devs to implement notification feedback then. Though I would prefer Purism to implement encrypted XMPP calling into the Calls app. Here’s hoping.
Interesting. It’s still not for me though, since it’s a phone provider that allows unsecure unencrypted communications, uses phone numbers, and requires a monthly payment. Thanks for the info though. I didn’t know that it uses Jabber and optionally supports encryption with other Jabber users. Neat.
It was more of a response to expand on @flanders51 statement and pointint out that while jmp can integrate into the calls app by way of sip it’s not actually addressing your desire for xmpp calls. And separately for those who do want to use jmp and xmpp audio like myself that getting xmpp audio working is valued.
this bash script start recording a wav file until q key is pressed.
–file: arec.sh–
#!/bin/bash
key="q"
echo "🎤"
arecord -r 16000 --use-strftime ~/%H%M%S%d%m.wav &
pid=$!
while read -n1 char ; do
if [ "$char" = "$key" ] ; then
kill "$pid"
ls *.wav
break
fi
done
the --use-strftime is the format to obtain audio file name
The important strftime codes are: %Y is the year, %m month, %d day of the month, %H hour, %M minute and %S second.
make script executable with chmod +x arec.sh
and put it on $PATH environment or $HOME or any folder you want
from terminal you can start to record with $ ./path/to/arec.sh
Is to send audio messages with Dino.
Dino 0.4.2-1 can send wav files, but doesn’t have a button to record voice messages.
I don’t have an audio recorder application on Librem 5 to record my voice.
With the arec.sh script I can record my audio message to send my contacts with Dino.
Adding an Icon and a .desktop file to the bash script and I have a recording microphone app.
Way to go! You got me to start Dino for the first time in six months.
I was pleasantly surprised to see that my JMP/Cheogram service is now working to send/receive both text and voice. The only anomaly was that the is no ring notification for calls (text is fine).
I am still on byzantium, and not ready to upgrade. First I need make a full backup.
