Sure, but if CLI is for advanced users and the community points towards CLI for changing the GUI language, is changing language an advanced task? Is the community making it more difficult/intimidating than necessary?

In my case I had to pull the language data AND use a TUI configuration to change language. No biggie for someone who’s comfortable with CLI, an unsurmountable hinder for those not comfortable with the terminal.

inb4 “Why didn’t you use the built in GUI?”. Desired language wasn’t an option and no obvious way to DL it either.

.deb

$ /opt/camelchat/camelchat

opt/camelchat/camelchat: symbol lookup error: /opt/camelchat/camelchat: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_pointer

Appimage

Set as executable.

$ ./Camel-Chat-0.2.0-x86_64.AppImage

tmp/.mount_Camel-7OCAAq/camelchat: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_Camel-7OCAAq/camelchat: undefined symbol: g_once_init_enter_pointer

From a similar issue for a different app it seems to be a glib issue, requiring glib 2.8+ when Debian12 is shipped with 2.74.6-2+deb12u5.

Android

Works perfectly!

To be fair the absolute majority of online help posts involve the CLI. Want to change language on my Debian install? It’s off to the CLI!

Or maybe decent mobile producers. New Pixels get 7 years of updates, Fairphone 5 gets 10.

It’s a major flaw for those who doesn’t want to learn how to copy-paste to CLI and take the first few steps into the terminal. Which is a valid approach.

I did run the app image in terminal and got an error about missing something, and the app image comes with everything bundled right? Might be an issue on my end I suppose.

I’ll redo it and paste the error message tomorrow.

Looks interesting but can’t get it to run on Debian 12, neither the .deb nor the appimage.

I’m too old to pick up stuff from the ground, I use one of them claws on a stick. Also, the 3210 was a nice phone while the 3310 was for the hip kids.

Debian is a better version of Ubuntu.

HML was last updated in 2009, I’d recommend Justin Bieber Linux instead.
