Hey there. We can't do anything about this without a debug log. Please go to View -> Debug Log and then provide the resultant URL here.

Did your computer crash? Did you need to force exit Signal Desktop at any point? Can you think of anything that would have caused the Signal Desktop database to become corrupted?

[wikiblue]

No! I also uninstalled and installed several times, but to no avail.

[wikiblue]

Is there anyway to delete the database so it can create a new one? If so, do you know where that file is located/

[scottnonnenberg-signal]

~/Library/Application Support/Signal. Delete or rename it and the application will start up as a fresh installation. It would be useful if you could provide us the logs directory inside that folder (perhaps send it to support@signal.org) so we can see if there are any hints as to what caused the database corruption.

Just another data point, sorry no logs right now as I am in a hurry: Ran into the same issue, 1.19.0 update macOS 10.13.6. In my case I was on a choppy mobile network (german mobile network) and assume that the download or update process may have been corrupted. Renaming ~/Library/Application Support/Signal to ~/Library/Application Support/Signal_backup solved the problem and went through the steps of a fresh installation.

[marcinwasilewski]

Had the same issue. Cleaning ~/Library/Application Support/Signal solved it.

[scottnonnenberg-signal]

@foss- @marcinwasilewski I'm glad that you were able to find workarounds, but what we need is debug logs which include the history of the install, which might give us some insight into how this corruption is happening in the first place.

@foss- You might be able to salvage the /logs directory from inside your Signal_backup directory.

[foss-]

@scottnonnenberg Sorry removed that folder since I was back to working state. Obviously that was a mistake. Will keep it next time :/ Maybe someone else can provide proper logs to help you understand what went wrong with that update.

[TheRoarkster]

I am having the same problem (stuck at Optimizing Application), but on Fedora (Linux). I did recently have a complete crash where I had to restart, but it worked after that. Rather, it seems to have corrupted after the most recent Fedora incremental updates (01.26.2019).

To force Signal to reset and re-link to your phone (on Fedora, installed via Flatpak), do this:

Ctl+T (open terminal) mv ~/.var/app/org.signal.Signal/config/Signal/sql ~/.var/app/org.signal.Signal/config/Signal/sql.bak Restart Signal

Not sure this will help, but here are my latest Signal logs:

Hello, I've had this same "stuck on optimizing" bug for several weeks on OSX. I've been tryna find the database to delete, since reinstalling didn't work. I have logs:

On macOS, the database is at ~/Library/Application Support/Signal. Can you think of anything that could have caused that database corruption? Did you Force Quit Signal? Or did your computer crash? Did you restore from a backup?

[Garoth]

My computer has been experiencing some kind of weird OS bug that causes it to reboot coming out of suspend sometimes. That might be the culprit.

Either way, I think it'd be nice if Signal had a graceful "o fuck do you wanna delete your db and reset from scratch?" kind of popup. This was quite a frustrating issue, because (a) using the menus to delete the database did nothing (b) reinstalling the app twice did nothing (c) no real feedback that a serious crash had occurred in the UI (d) took like 30 min for me to find where the actual database file is because I'm bad at Mac

But I love you guys and Signal #1

[scottnonnenberg-signal]

@Garoth Please enter a feature request for that. Though it should be really really uncommon, it would be nice to have a clear set of next steps for people who have found themselves in that situation.

[deutrino]

It's not very uncommon for heavy users.

[scottnonnenberg-signal]

@deutrino Please reach out to support@signal.org and we can work with you to figure out exactly what can cause the corruption to happen.

Either way, we have a new dialog that pops up on startup if there appears to be a database error.

[scottnonnenberg-signal]

I'm going to close this, since that new dialog prevents you from being stuck in that 'Optimizing...' stage.
