Spectral is not good about showing login failures. This isn't something that affects regular users (since you only ever log in once), but it's annoying for first-time users. Make sure you're using the full login name - the format would be @user:server. For example, I use @dilinger:queued.net. Even if you're using the default server (matrix.org), you'll probably need to add it.

When using the @username:server.tld login name scheme, spectral becomes usable, indeed.

This should be documented and maybe you can escalate this to upstream.

It seems to present a half-successful login if I simply use username (not @username, not @username:server.tld), but from there on, everything fails.

IMHO, spectral could be more assumptive for different login schemes. (Prepend an "@" if missing, append a :<servername>, or in fact, look for .well-known delegation configs for deriving the server_name).

FYI, Spectral was forked and the fork (called Neochat) is officially the KDE team's matrix client:

https://carlschwan.eu/2020/12/23/announcing-neochat-1.0-the-kde-matrix-client/

https://matrix.org/docs/projects/client/neo-chat


This happened just before Debian bullseye froze, so I was unable to package it. I plan to do so, and it's unclear what will happen with Spectral for bullseye+1.


Ah, interesting. Thanks for the head up. Please provide a bullseye-backport of neo-chat. Thanks.

Mike
