I have to go over the stuff from the beginning cause I overssaw the error at creating the module via txz2xzm.
I use "quote" instead if "code" so that I can highlight the issue:
guest@porteus:/mybin/tmp/signal$ txz2xzm signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf.txz

Why does txz2xzm continue and claim it created a seemingly working module instead of catching the error and reporting it to the user, best in
bright red text?
I will use the
pseudo-install via installpkg and then dir2zxm instead of using txz2xzm like so:
Code: Select all
cd /into/a/ext[234]-folder-with-enough-free-space
mkdir signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf
ROOT=signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf/ installpkg /PATH/TO/signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf.txz
dir2xzm signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf/ signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf.xzm
and will report back.
Or would a
Code: Select all
cd /into/a/ext[234]-folder-with-enough-free-space
mkdir signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf
ROOT=signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf/ txz2xzm signal-desktop-bin-5.62.0-x86_64-1cf.txz
also work?

I went with the method I know works and did not try

Now, finally, it seems to work:
though I have to figure out how to import contacts into it since there is no syncing with my Android signal version…
