Gajim - 2023-07-19

Hello. Earlier I spoke of restoring a Manjaro Linux computer to a state in the past, then in connection with repeat decrpytion (of past messages), by consensus impossible. Here's another observation. After restoration, a message sent from Gajim in the restored machine caused an OMEMO error message to appear in all receiving clients (both counterparty's and the sender's) even though receiving clients' fingerprints were listed as "trusted" in the sending client. I used the fix (delete fingerprint, restart Gajim, send message), and so there is no pending issue. Just contributing an observation. Thanks.

There were five recipient clients involved. So it would appear that, after a system restoration, OMEMO encryption-decryption cannot continue.

I do not know what technically speaking constitutes this disruption, nor what the fix does to mend it. But there could be a feature of the client that detects the disruption and say, "You have had this disruption (by some appropriate technical description). Do you want to apply the fix (appropriate description)?"

Just a thought. I am happy enough to be able to resolve the issue with delete-restart-send. Thanks.

Hi all! Is it possible to set invisible status in Gajim?

mindphaser, no

Why does Gajim not show the avatar image of a contact anymore? It used to show it, and Dino still does show it. I'm pretty sure, that my contact did not change their setup, being pretty non-geek :-) Their account is on jabber.de, if that matters, their client is "the client", a.k.a. Conversations.

no idea, you can look it up in the debug log

debacle: jabber.de changed admins. Maybe it's still in Dino's cache, but not actually on the server anymore?

cal0pteryx Indeed, that seems to be the case, thanks! I tried by using a fresh client instance (= converse.js), without existing cache, and the avatar is not there. Gajim is not at fault :-)

I'll ask my contact to re-upload their avatar image.

Yet another question, that I believe I asked before, but don't remember the answer: Where can I find the adhoc commands for a component now? In older Gajim versions, I had the component visible in the roster, could right-click and came to the "execute command" menu. Now the component is not in the roster view (only in my conversations list) and I can't find a menu with "execute command". Where does it hide now?

there is none currently

you need to go via service discovery window

we should allow the execute command option everywhere on every contact i guess

lovetox But the component is not on "my" server. Well, it's my server, but the server does not have any user account JIDs. Service discovery menu works only for "my" server, right?

no

simply put the jid into the discovery window

I tried that, but no service is shown. The window below remains blank.

lovetox I'll try later with an old Gajim to rule out a problem on my server or with my component.

also if you type only the domain

then the component would show up or not

In this case component and domain are equal. Because the server does host only one component and has no other purpose, there was no point in giving them different names.

do you want to give me the domain

then i can test myself
