| 15:41:18 |  mavericks | Yes that makes a lot of sense too. Access token should be sufficient. Interesting let me try again. I tried that too randomly. I will try again.
I tried the Riot Web/Desktop client in https://matrix.org/clients/
and then selected the 'Launch now on your browser' icon at https://about.riot.im/ |
| 15:41:36 |  nephele | What client are you using now |
| 15:41:44 | nephele | what application are you typing into to talk, now? |
| 15:42:06 | mavericks | Redacted or Malformed Event |
| 15:42:50 | mavericks | access token's nice that way. Oh you mean the browser client. FIrefox on windows |
| 15:43:24 | nephele | I assume you are using riot. then |
| 15:43:44 | nephele | Riot lets you copy the token, and you have to put it somewhere so spectral can see it... not sure exactly where though |
| 15:44:00 | nephele | copying it into the login field will most likely have no effect whatsoever |
| 15:44:16 | mavericks | yes via the browser and riot. Oh ok |
| 15:46:37 | mavericks | I have to add that . sometimes spectral doesn't give the error message like network error. Instead it says 'Loading , please wait' . I tried just the access token without the username and password with server address as 'matrix.org' |
| 15:47:43 | nephele | where?? |
| 15:47:56 | nephele | does spectral have an "acess token" login field?? |
| 15:48:22 | nephele | No, matrix.org is wrong... didn't you want to use mozilla...? ugh |
| 15:51:10 | mavericks | file -> preferences -> plus button - > login -> access token (optional) |
| 15:51:47 | nephele | okay |
| 15:51:58 | nephele | matrix.org is still wrong if you want to use mozilla |
| 15:52:03 | mavericks | No I just tried matrix.org and not the mozilla server https://mozilla.modular.im
|
| 15:52:26 | nephele | You should have used the mozilla server, access tokens are server specific |
| 15:53:51 | mavericks | got it. Aargh Yes! indeed |
| 15:56:15 | mavericks | I tried matrix.org as when I'm on https://riot.im/app/#/home I was able to explore mozilla specific channels via 'Explore rooms' as I was able to do so on https://chat.mozilla.org. So I thought I could connect to matrix.org server find a room. However as you mentioned inputting the access token for the wrong server killed It. |
| 15:56:47 | mavericks | Now I tried the access token with the mozilla server https://mozilla.modular.im |
| 17:20:47 |  kitsune | Eventually Matrix will allow you to unbind your user account from the server you registered it at; but for now you have to login, and use the access token, with exactly the server you registered your user account with. Unlike user accounts, rooms are actually decentralised: servers exchance information about them. This is why you could see Mozilla-related rooms at matrix.org. Each server has its own room directory but rooms are not bound to a given server. |

| 17:34:48 |  uhoreg | https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/1228 is the proposal (though it'll probably require a new room version, and will only work on rooms that support it) |

| 08:47:02 |  vurpo | I just installed Spectral again, and it's still really nice to use and look at |
| 08:47:59 | vurpo | Although rooms seem to be jumping to all kinds of places when I open them, instead of going to the bottom (or to the last unread message) |
| 10:42:00 | |  mavericksriot joined the room. |
| 11:34:01 | mavericksriot | kitsune: I see. nice |
| 4 Apr 2020 |
| 12:33:11 | |  test joined the room. |
| 18:30:56 |  Andres | Oof, after upgrading spectral seems to be combining rooms |
