I use signal in Qubes daily and can confirm it works great. It does appear that the contacts list syncing is a one-time event at setup and not a continuous thing, but I believe this is a known Signal issue, and in no way specific to Qubes. See: - https://support.whispersystems.org/hc/en-us/articles/218514998-How-do-I-update-contacts-on-Signal-Desktop- - https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/issues/1001 - https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/issues/443 For more information about Signal on Qubes in general, see: - https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/signal/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
