well, maybe in the future then, screen sharing would be nice

It would be yeah

as far as i know there's no way to really screen share 1 on 1 and have it be secure, so that might be a thing there

if you have encrypted video calls, you can also do screensharing

i guess its just another source you plugin to the video stream ✏

instead of your camera you take the screen output

i dont see how this has anything to do with the transport encryption

no idea, i'm not too savvy on the information, i just know gajim has some good person to person encryption to prevent leaks and i reckon that would extend to screen sharing too

while integration with gajim would be nice, it probably would be a pretty good solution to self-host jitsi meet or find a running host and just send links via gajim when needed

it would indeed

at least for group meetings/video calls this sounds like a much better option than trying to reinvent the wheel

group sure, i mainly mean to use it 1 on 1 for just sharing screen

> while integration with gajim would be nice, it probably would be a pretty good solution to self-host jitsi meet or find a running host and just send links via gajim when needed The thing with that is that jitsi is javascript. Its essentially unmaintainable and the only way to compile it and run is a container. So not really an option for me :/ ↺

MSavoritias (fae,ve), there is another implementation of it, written in Rust and using Gstreamer: https://github.com/avstack/gst-meet

That’s what I use nowadays to call people who aren’t using Dino or Conversations.

btw flatpak nightly *should* work again

if anyone wants to try

> MSavoritias (fae,ve), there is another implementation of it, written in Rust and using Gstreamer: https://github.com/avstack/gst-meet does that use video calling? or just audio

if its video calling could you somehow implement that into gajim?

PMR, both of course, and you can pipe any Gstreamer pipeline into it so it also does screen sharing if your compositor uses pipewire to export that.

PMR, it’d be quite stupid to open a second XMPP connection just to negociate the call, better fix calls directly into Gajim.

well i do hope that comes about soon, is there a roadmap for gajim?

PMR, basically if anyone interested in calls comes along and write the code, it will happen, otherwise it won’t.

yeah pretty much

so just bug fixes and stuff on the horizon for now?

for calls? there is nothing. not even bug fixes

no not calls, just gajim in general, is there a roadmap

no there is no roadmap

PMR: you could take a look at merge requests for stuff that might make it in

Hello

My computer broke, I used another computer for a while, but my gajim history file was not available. Now I'm going to a new os installation and I have two sets of gajim history. How do I merge them into one ?

no idea

it's probably fairly easy but I haven't done it

I definitely recommend to test on test databases or copies, not the originals

https://sqlpey.com/question/merging-sqlite-databases

Is there no gajim import tool?

I think I could code one if it's sqlite to sqlilte, and data structure isn't too convoluted. But probably only in cursed vb.net

No there is no merge sql dabase tool in gajim

That's the second request in two days for gajim to be an sql editor tll

too

Why does Gajiim still display a form for a XEP-0077 result with a `<registered />` tag? Is that an expected behaviour?

without more info, the answer is yes

lovetox: seems like it shouldn't https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0077.html#example-3

I returned ``` <iq xmlns="jabber:client" from="zg.94.177.207.80" type="result" id="a9b9cb3d-9500-4b4a-a705-c8e6051ccb76" to="bqdiscord@94.177.207.80/gajim.BFD6KWN1" lang="en"> <query xmlns="jabber:iq:register"> <registered /> <instructions>Already logged in</instructions> <username>38050xxxxxxx</username> </query> </iq> ```

And it still displays a form with an active "Register" button. Same for Tkabber though.

If this is not a safe way to inform a user that registering is not needed anymore, I wonder what is then.

returning type=error

why would you leak this information to some unknown entity

a username and instructions that the user is logged in

simply return an error and say user account exists already

wtf this example returns the password

but yeah i would consider this a Gajim bug, we dont look for the registered element

you can open a issue if you want about that

> wtf this example returns the password you mean the password supplied in the registration attempt?

lovetox: why unknown? This is the login matching this JID, and this JID already has other ways to know the login.

> you can open a issue if you want about that I suppose it's pointless if some existing clients already process it weirdly.

wait, is this a registration for some gateway?

or for a useraccount on a server

lovetox: gateway.

but what happens if the user fills out the form

he runs into an error probably

so nothing bad happens

lovetox, Do you use cx-freeze for building Gajim source ?

no

look at the win folder in the repository

assuming you mean the Windows build

lovetox, so how the Gajim exe is generated ?

lovetox, yes ! windows build

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/tree/master/win?ref_type=heads

lovetox, Thanks ! iam reading it but i want to know what is the library or tool that creat gajim exe ! because i've used a lot of libraries like cx-freeze/pyinstaller to build my project but always detected as virus (false positive ) and i noticed gajim is clean 😄️

there is no tool

this python code generates the exe

https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/blob/master/win/misc/create-launcher.py?ref_type=heads

an no, anti virus often flags gajim

it has nothing to do with the tool which builds the executable

antivirus looks into your installer, and finds files it does not like

lovetox, so i can use this code in my python project ?

lovetox, You are my hero ! Thanks a lot !

this generates only a exe file

not a installer

which stuff like pyinstaller does

lovetox, yes ! that's what i want exactly
