Wow, thanks a lot :-)

I assume there might be some politics to end up building a fork of element rather than using new vector's one. AUR is not a chat, so I will stop here and ask the question upstream ;-)

Hi! Yes it is possible to use the Element app with Tchap servers.

You should have a Tchap (Matrix) username in the form of @<username>-<institution-domain>:<tchap-domain>. Copy the <tchap-domain> part.

On the Element landing page, select Sign in > edit the homeserver URL > paste the <tchap-domain> copied earlier > Continue. The 'Continue with ProConnect' option should be available now.

Works nice now ! Thank you, and thanks for pointing the upstream bug. You seem to indicate that it might be possible to use the element app with tchap servers ? I thought that it was not possible ?

T.

By the way, the closing window when minimizing (instead of going to the system tray) is an upstream bug. If you wish to use an app that supports it, Element does (Tchap is forked from Element).

Hi! Indeed, sqlcipher was missing, as well as some other deps that were introduced in new versions of Tchap. I submitted a new PKGBUILD which contains those new deps and updated Tchap to version 4.18.0.

Hi ! sqlcipher is missing from the dependencies. I also had to use WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 to avoid crashes.

Last issue: it does not minimize in the system tray if I close the window: it really closes (maybe it is an upstream bug)

Thanks for the pkgbuild !
