If you have 2 OSes, then you have 2 different Telegram workdirs. If your Telegram executable file is located in directory ~/Downloads/Telegram/, then your workdir is located in directory ~/.TelegramDesktop/. Where? Yes, it is stored in that "workdir". So, see my case above, when power outage happened, that Telegram will lock itself, and this lock information is stored. If your condition is different, I'm sorry I do not know if you can perform the walkthrough at all.Įvery Telegram instance works with a work directory ("workdir"). It is the same as having one Telegram desktop and one Telegram mobile running simultaneously. In other words, although I do not have phone, I still have a spare normal Telegram instance that can run simultaneously with the broken one.
