Unable to install on Fedora 35 #52

Closed HNGamingUK closed 1 year ago

HNGamingUK commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I have recently moved computers over and thus installed a fresh Fedora 35. I attempted to install by entering the required commands: 

sudo dnf install -y dnf-plugins-core distribution-gpg-keys
sudo dnf copr enable taw/element
sudo dnf install -y element --refresh

However when running the final command to install element, it does no install and outputs the following:

No match for argument: element
Error: Unable to find a match: element

I can confirm the copr repo is there and is enabled. image

I did notice the following note on the copr site but not on this git repo image

If you require any further details do let me know.

What are the possible solutions for the licensing issue?

iGeorgeX commented 2 years ago

Maybe Spectral https://gitlab.com/spectral-im/spectral or Nheko https://github.com/Nheko-Reborn/nheko is an alternativ?

Athwale commented 2 years ago

Spectral is in Alpha and the development seems dead or slow. Nheko seems more active and is available on fedora. Might be a good choice until this issue is fixed.

Is the previous Element fc34 rpm available for download anywhere?

I have been using Nheko as an alternative matrix client for a few weeks and I have had several segfaults. It is bad at handling gifs and mp4, the emoji function is also broken, encryption seems to be buggy as well. The user interface is not finished and several features supported by Element do not work at all.

I also suggest contacting Element over email or their support channel and asking them to help the developer solve the issues or make their own rpm package.
