Is anyone running Telegram on CentOS 7? I see that it seems to be available as a snap and also in the getpagespeed repository. I try to avoid snap apps but am not familiar with the latter repository.

Does anyone have experience with either source for the program?

    FWIW: on Fedora I’m using pidgin for all kinds of messaging: with the purple-telegram package installed it also supports Telegram.

    Fedora includes purple-telegram and it is also in EPEL for CentOS 8, but AFAICS it is unfortunately not available in CentOS 7 EPEL.

  • Thank you, I just installed it and it seems to run fine. However, I then moved the application to another directory but I am unable to edit the location of the application the entry in the Internet menu in the Mate desktop on CentOS 7.

    For some reason it is in the menu system (but cannot be used to launch the application since I moved the binaries) but when I try to edit this menu this entry does not show up among the entries available to edit/move/delete (and hence cannot be edited)…

    Is this a bug? Can i force the menu system to reinitialize to correct this? (I cannot reboot the system)

    Don’t know about Mate, in Gnome i have it in Internet menu. Before i started it by terminal :-). I installed in in /opt/Telegram and changed owner.group to me to allow it update.
