It does appear that the contacts list syncing is a one-time event at setup and not a continuous thing, but I believe this is a known Signal issue, and in no way specific to Qubes.

[qubes-users] OpenWhisper Systems Signal not quite right in Qubes 3.2/Fedora23/Chromium
I installed Qubes 3.2 on a Dell Precision M4600 (slick) and I've been trying to migrate a portion of my day to day work to it. I have many contacts who use Open Whisper Systems Signal App for communication. I've used the Google Chrome extension on both OSX and Linux without any troubles. Using a Fedora 23 VM I found Chrome installs to be clumsy, while yum install chromium just works. The Signal Chrome App installs and runs, but the directory function is broke. Existing conversations are fine, but they are with phone numbers rather than names, and I can't look up any other contacts to initiate conversations, I have to wait for them to come to me. Has anyone else already resolved this problem? This is a "beachhead issue" for me - if I can get Signal going, I can switch a good sized chunk of what I do to Qubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
