Strange, after I did other stuff and my computer suspended/unsuspended, it now runs fine:

[ethical_haquer@liberated-l14 ~]$ simplex-desktop
Segmentation fault         (core dumped) simplex-desktop
[ethical_haquer@liberated-l14 ~]$ simplex-desktop
[ethical_haquer@liberated-l14 ~]$ 

???

It used to run fine, but after updating my system and running simplex-desktop, it won't start: Segmentation fault (core dumped) simplex-desktop

@EarthMind reported this as well.

@iamawacko The .desktop file from deb file is corrupted (The name, description, categories... isn't the same as source code). That's why I think it's better to use the the one from source.

works perfectly (at least for text chat) - no errors seen - thanks a lot ;o)

@medaminezghal We use the .desktop from their official .deb.

Edit: GPG verification currently only applies for the Ubuntu tarball archives, not the DEB binaries.

Could you add GPG signature verification? The latest release v6.3.2 has released the GPG signatures (of the SHA256 checksums) and GPG public keys from both teams of SimpleX and Flux: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases/tag/v6.3.2

@iamawacko Could you update the simplex.desktop file to be like the one from source?

The app won't start for me:

zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) simplex-desktop

Applying strip (which is default in /etc/makepkg.conf) results in crashing app when trying to play video or make a call. It works without problem if not stripping. Proposing to disable it in PKGBUILD:
