Where to find it
First check the account, message and affected function
Note the DinoX version, operating system, package and exact steps to the problem. A picture of the affected setting helps; exclude passwords, private keys and tokens. Describe what you expected and what you actually saw.
What do the choices mean?
Unlock failed
Check the local database password, not the account password. “Invalid key or corrupted” alone does not prove corruption. Do not immediately reset.
One account stays offline
Check account settings and the specific error: internet, credentials, server, proxy or required protection may be involved. Other connected accounts do not prove these credentials are correct.
Encrypted message not received
Check the contact or room, selected method and device keys. Groups need known membership and the actual participants’ keys. Do not delete all keys indiscriminately.
Feed empty or access denied
Check feed address, selected account and read permission. A personal XMPP feed may not exist until its first publication. Subscribing does not create someone else’s feed.
Missing DEB dependency
First compare package and distribution. The Ubuntu package is not the appropriate choice on Debian 13. Use APT on the supported system to resolve dependencies.
Camera or microphone missing
Check system permission, cable, camera cover, device selection and device tests. For Flatpak, also check package permissions.
