Gajim - 2023-08-14

How do you set the picture for a MUC in Gajim? I can't figure it out. Sorry if this gets asked a lot ✏

group chat details > manage > hit the pencil on the corner of the default icon

in 1.8.0 group chat details is at top right

aka contact details

when viewing the muc

I had trouble finding it too

fjklp When I click the pencil it lets me edit the MUC name, but it doesn't look like it lets you set the icon? I wish I could share a screenshot but it seems like this MUC doesn't allow that

pert: the feature requires server support. Is it a personal server or a public one?

lissine, thanks. it's conference.debian.org, it looks like they let me create the room and do just about everything else

I asked the server admin if he can help me out

John: In case your xmpp address is username@debian.org, It seems the server doesn't support MUC avatars: https://compliance.conversations.im/server/debian.org/

thanks for the researh lissine. my username is pert@member.fsf.org, it just so happens that even though it's not my server, the debian.org one nevertheless lets me make MUCs

John: If you're interested in public channels (as opposed to private group chats), most public prosody instances allow you to make channels on them

yeah. I was having trouble with the FSF XMPP server (I think they took the ability to make MUCs away) and my project would probably be best at home in a MUC, so I thought I'd try making one on Debian's server and kaboom, it worked. it's no big deal, I'm a happy camper.

just join a channel with the domain part set as the address of the MUC componenet. For example the yax.im server has chat.yax.im as MUC component. If you _join_ mycoolchannel@chat.yax.im , you would create a public channel on that address

The debian muc component doesn't support mam (message archive management), used for retrieving old messages if your device was offline. If you're going to use the debian server, you should ask them to enable mam at least

https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_muc_mam (built-in, just needs to be enabled) for MUC avatars: https://modules.prosody.im/mod_vcard_muc.html (needs to be installed, instructions on the page)

yeah, I'm taking over a project called Monkeysphere (I love that name) and we need a home. I think an XMPP MUC is more appropriate than IRC for us, and I think I'd like it to replace a traditional mailing list too while I'm at it. The Debian System Administrators usually do a great job with getting details right (stuff like enabling DNSSEC and DANE), so that's one reason I like them

Hi, I have an issue that's reproducible on two Korean input method editors and a patch for it. Can I get fork permission on gitlab? I've signed up with the same account name.

npmania, done ✏

hallo

hi

es ist heiß

德语看不懂啦

was?

lovetox, thanks.

means“what”?

On Gentoo Linux we had the option to decide if we want to install Gajim with omemo support or without omemo support. Does this still make sense since 1.8.x? Will Gajim work properly, if we do not include omemo?

The omemo plugin has been integrated in Gajim since 1.8, so I don't think it makes sense to make it optional

Can https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/10171 please be reopened? I added my comment there.

I didn't want to create a new issue because it's exactly the same as this old one

In our packages we had to drop the tests in the past https://bpa.st/KC5Q#1L100-L100 Are the tests more stable nowadays?

HELLo

What's about night installation arch Linux))) it's just a joke)

no, lissine please make a new one

this is really old

okay

also it fucks then with milestones we set, if we change it etc

jstein, omemo is a required dependency, you can take this info from our README

lovetox, thank you. I will update our package and make it mandatory now.

jstein, what test fails? we run tests on every commit, they never failed, but we dont run tests on many different arch, so if something fails please report it

maybe a dumb question, but why can't I enable omemo encryption in this chat

vonneumaneee: This is a public chat, where end2end encryption would make little sense. ✏

> vonneumaneee: This is a public chat, where end2end encryption would make little sense. yes, you are right, thanks for you answer!

lovetox, I added a note to https://pad.nixnet.services/oHnY_ZvLT8SoFyCqIC2ung?both#Software-news about Gajim 1.8.1 is that fine?

we have now Gajim-1.8.1 in the official gentoo tree and it works fine. https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/net-im/gajim

yes this is correct, thanks for your work !

I have to thank you!

Is there any use for 1.4.7? I am about to drop the option to install the very old version in Gentoo. Sometimes we keep old things for compatibility reasons, but I think we can burn it with fire, correct?

i would not know why someone would specifically want to use 1.4.x

cal0pteryx: why do you think gajim-remote is involved in https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/11605

ah, good point, assumed a remote command. I'll remove the label
