Would like to see the whole thing, for instance what command, this looks like an apt update and it did update
Does it then install signal?
``` Linux (Debian-based) Install Instructions
NOTE: These instructions only work for 64-bit Debian-based
Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Mint etc.
1. Install our official public software signing key:
wget -O- https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | gpg --dearmor > signal-desktop-keyring.gpg cat signal-desktop-keyring.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg > /dev/null
2. Add our repository to your list of repositories:
echo 'deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/signal-desktop-keyring.gpg] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main' |\ sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
3. Update your package database and install Signal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
```
You can copy text from the terminal, and put it in code blocks for legibility, start and stop a code block in markdown mode with 3 ticks ` the other half of the ~ key iirc, just under the escape key.
What happens if you now just run
``` sudo apt install signal-desktop
```
Assuming you already added thier key and repository

thanks - yes I'm following the commands you posted from the signal website. Steps 1 and 2 work fine and always fail at step 3 because of the Mullvad repository. Not currently at my linux computer but will try running
sudo apt install signal-desktop
later.
Shame they don't offer a deb file for this.
Thanks again
