Hi @moppman, sorry this is happening for you and thank you for doing a test Electron Fiddle. It sounds like notifications are working on Electron 28.2.0, matching the prod version? May I also ask, have Signal desktop notifications ever worked? If so, then as we upgrade dependencies then they might get fixed eventually.
It may be difficult for us to investigate this issue because we don't have a good workflow for ChromeOS testing and it's a less popular OS for signal users.
Hi @ayumi-signal , thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

Yes, the fiddle is running on 28.2.0 and working fine.
have Signal desktop notifications ever worked?
No. I just checked: the first Signal Desktop version on this machine was v6.25, and notifications have never worked unfortunately.
Using a supported version?
Overall summary
Signal Desktop is not showing desktop notifications on ChromeOS / Crostini in the default Debian 12 container.
Steps to reproduce
Expected result
Desktop notification on new messages
Actual result
When a new Signal message is received, I'm seeing
in the terminal output.
For further debugging, I did the following:
notify-send
is also showing desktop notifications as expectedNote that the Signal Desktop debug log is showing no error when receiving messages:
The error is only present in the terminal output.
EDIT with additional info after ayumi's initial feedback down below: The working fiddle example is running on Electron v28.2.0, matching the current Signal Desktop prod version. Also, Signal Desktop notifications have never worked on this Chromebook, first version was v6.25.0
