Thanks for the report, mkurz. Fixed on 7.80.0beta2-2 by reverting the offending commit.

Be aware: v7.80.0-beta.2 crashes: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/7599 v7.80.0-beta.1 still works fine. (Just in case you run into this and wondering what's going on)

Thanks!

That was regression while renaming/checking the new values. It needs to be signal beta. And it does relates to the change because https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/6ed97e5e608de6fcde5e54fccde493e74ad35681#diff-9f46115c53c213eb1159f195e751998768618aa9db666c4dd52f80b9f210e497R38-R48

Ah ok. I did not understand because in your commit https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=signal-desktop-beta&id=6df34b5cf91812bd9814891f9a5393e094f02094 your refered to Signal's commit https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/dbaf2f5e68f657c4716e3a2a9226c0de44213b68 - where I could not see signal beta with the space in the name.

I see that you now changed it back to StartupWMClass=signalbeta (without the space). Are you sure this is correct? I have no idea to be honest what StartupWMClass is and how it relates to the change in https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/6ed97e5e608de6fcde5e54fccde493e74ad35681

I have renamed the desktop file to make it behave correctly on Plasma. The reason for the StartupWMClass change is https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/fb566c48e0fa146dfe0bea077ecdb3ff846ef80a/scripts/prepare_beta_build.js#L38

In Plasma the icon is broken since https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/dbaf2f5e68f657c4716e3a2a9226c0de44213b68

It does work by renaming signalbeta.desktop to signal beta.desktop (with space). Can you please do that? Thanks!

Also why did you change StartupWMClass=signal beta with the space? From https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/commit/dbaf2f5e68f657c4716e3a2a9226c0de44213b6 I can not see why this is necessary. Maybe I do not fully understand, can you explain this change? Thanks! For me it does not make a difference what the value of StartupWMClass is, but the file name matters (I am using KDE Plasma).

I'm getting old it seems :p

Thanks for fixing!

Checksums are wrong :( You changed signalbeta.desktop but did not update its checkum.

signalbeta.desktop ... FAILED
