You might have too many linked devices already.
You can check with the listDevices
command and remove old devices with removeDevice
Hey,
Thank you very much. I had tried to list the devices but I had done it wrong. This seems to solve the problem.
Thanks for confirming, I'll leave this open to add a better error message for DeviceLimitExceededException
Hello,
Current error message
I can no longer add my account with signal-cli on debian preventing me from using signal-desktop. I have this error message and I don't know how to solve it:
Some information
Debian version : bookworm
I'm not very good at computers.
Problem history:
I'll clarify that if it helps to understand the problem.
About ten days ago signal stopped working with this error message:
Trying to redo steps 6 / 7 / 8 to install signal without smartphone (https://kemenaran.winosx.com/posts/signal-sans-smartphone), I realize that signal-cli no longer works. I haven't updated it since the beginning. I re-download the latest version. I get another error message because the new version of signal-cli doesn't work with the default debian java version. I change java version with openjdk-21-jdk (following this procedure: https://www.tecmint.com/install-java-on-debian-12 ). Signal-desktop works again, I can send messages even though I've lost all my data. I restart the computer, signal doesn't work again. I realize that snap no longer works, with an error message :
I take the steps indicated here : https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/snapd-install-refresh-remove-error/11445
Snap is repaired, so I'll take this opportunity to uninstall signal-desktop via snap and reinstall it using the procedure indicated by signal for linux.
I end up with this new error message:
I perform the solution indicated in this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/554045/java-home-is-set-to-the-wrong-directory
Signal works again, I repeat the command via signal-cli to add my number, all goes well.
I restart the computer, signal reindicts that I must delete all the data and restart signal, then I get the error message indicated at the top of the post via signal-cli (Add device link failed: StatusCode: 411).
Do you have any solutions?
Thank you
