Notes
Backing up your SMS
SMS are stored in a sqlite database under /home/mobian/.purple/chatty/db/chatty-history.db
.
Backup that database, and open it, using e.g. the Qt-based sqlitebrowser
(available in Debian/Mobian) or the sqlite3
command line. All your messages are in there in the message table.
Hints
- 2022-02-25 - a segmentation fault bug in Debian version 0.6.0-1 has been fixed in 0.6.1-1
- A hack while waiting for version 0.6.1-1 to migrate to bookworm is
sudo dpkg -i chatty_0.6.1-1_arm64.deb
where you obtain the .deb binary from sid (unstable Debian): https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/chatty/download - TODO: remove this note after 0.6.1-1 has migrated to bookworm
