Question 1

Ente Auth shows black screen and freezes on Linux with 'Failed to unlock the keyring' error

Accepted Answer

This is typically a system‑level issue, not a bug in Ente Auth. Update your system packages (e.g., `sudo pacman -Syu` on Arch, `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` on Debian/Ubuntu) and reboot. Ensure your GNOME keyring or libsecret service is properly running and unlocked. For Flatpak installations, verify permissions with `flatpak override --user io.ente.auth --socket=session-bus` or similar.

Question 2

Why does the Ente Photos Android app stall when downloading large files behind a Caddy reverse proxy?

Accepted Answer

The Android app (before v1.3.54) triggers HTTP/2 stream closures during range-request transfers when proxied through Caddy, causing chunked downloads to fail and loop. Update to v1.3.54 or later (available on GitHub, rolling out to stores). If you cannot update immediately, force Caddy to use HTTP/1.1 by setting `protocols h1` in the global servers block:

```caddyfile
{
    servers {
        protocols h1
    }
}
```

This applies to all sites and avoids the HTTP/2 range-request issue. The problem does not affect the desktop app or web browser.

Question 3

How to change the album cover or thumbnail in Ente Photos?

Accepted Answer

Currently, you can change the album cover only on the Ente Photos mobile app. Open the album, tap the three-dot menu, and select 'Set as album cover'. On desktop, this feature is not yet available but is planned. Use the mobile app as a temporary workaround.
